After an entire morning of picking up trash, hey, that’s 4 kilometers mind you, of steep uphill struggles, we were famished. Our meals were all packaged up by the resort so we ate there mostly, despite cravings to get out into the town to eat real food.

Breakfast at the resort was good – ample supply of fresh juices, an assortment of fresh bread, excellent croissants and pastries, sweet fresh fruit, cereals and muesli, yogurts and hot meals comprising a choice of the standard bacon and eggs etc etc fry up, oriental noodles of the day, exotic waffles and pancakes, and more eggs in different styles and settings. And coffee and tea, of course. There was a lot to eat for breakfast. It was good.

Lunch was again a choiced set menu of stuff like chicken chops, chicken pies, bento boxes, bangers and mash, sandwiches, fish and chips, blablabla……I don’t consider this real food but……..it was what was included.

The kids sat on their own table everyday, for obvious reasons : we did not like their company and we did not want other guests to know that they were ours.

They got along fine, spurring each other to be independent without needing Mommy’s help in any way to cut up sausages et al. Very good. Lots of chatter and banter.

The Hubs’ sad bento box.

My Caesar salad was good. I had it everyday, amongst other things of course. Don’t ever order the steak, it’s lousy. Deserts were good. Japanese restaurant was lousy. OK, if you had a choice, I’d say just get out into the town to eat. Nothing beats real food versus hotel/resort food.

Suddenly, we realised that the kid’s table got awfully quiet. The boys had finished their food fast enough and were off elsewhere to look for more adventure, but the girls, who were always the more noisy ones anyway, suddenly went quiet. Strange?

So we peeked over and saw them busy playing ‘masak-masak’ with their food. *faint*

When I walked over, Tee defensively said, “Look Mom!! Since I don’t like peas but since I know they are good for me, I am hiding them in my mash potatoes!!! Then I eat them like this, Uummm….”

If you ask me, it was just a quick excuse that she had thought up because she was full and then had the idea to start playing ‘masak-masak’. If you notice, carrots are also in the mash concoction and her girlfriend was doing exactly the same thing.

Kids, I tell you…….

Oh well, at least they had fun *rolls eyeballs*

And here I am thinking of all the starving children of the world *sad*

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
