For the longest time, Tee has known her alphabets and her phonics to the point that her teacher at school is convinced that I’ve been sending her for Kumon classes – what is that?! Little does she know that Tee learnt her alphabetical phonics from www.starfall.com haha!! Yup, when Mommy doesn’t want to be disturbed, Mommy used to turn on the computer for her to play. This is really bad for kids because it will kill their eyes but desperate times call for desperate measures. Still, something good came out of it.

Today, a Mom told me that her son at Primary One still has trouble reading and doesn’t know all his blends, what more, he is struggling with the Malay language, on top of Mandarin. Poor kids! So much to learn!!! So the Mom is really struggling as well trying to coach him to catch up. This got me thinking……Fuck, this parenting thing doesn’t get any easier. It just gets worse!!!

I resolved to teach Tee two blends today since I haven’t taught her anything in the last four months. Well she goes to school, right? *shies away from critical glares*

I taught her CH and OO. I asked her what the sound of each individual letter was. Then I explained to her that sometimes, the alphabets can get married, and when they get married, their sound changes! Then I changed my voice and pretended to be Mr C and Miss H and they meet and fall in love and get married. Tee is mature enough to understand the concept of marriage thus the marriage story. And then O and O were twin brothers. They held hands to school together, they played ball together and their favourite expression was “OOOOOOO”. She had so much fun! And guess what? It clicked.

Now I’m thinking…….I could potentially be a school teacher. *nodding head*

Although it was really not necessary for me to teach her two blends today, I thought well, this is going to be my quality time with her today. And there was no pressure, just fun, and to her, Mommy was playing with her. Man, killing two birds with one stone is definitely my thing.

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.
