Hello everybody, how was your Christmas?

Our Christmas was a close family affair in a cool garden where we barbeque-ed under the stars. This year, there was no turkey for us, not even our traditional Portuguese fare but instead barbequed crabs, prawns, steak, chicken, sausages, you name it, and an awesome mashed potato dish whipped up by a Cordon Bleu chef who boils the cream! There was a demand for more that he brought out more potatoes and did everything again from scratch. That’s how good it was.

There was also salad and all the other bits that come with a barbeque…….bread, onions, scallops, chillies, corn etc and most importantly, great company and lots of love.

Awesomeness under the stars………where the kids waited to catch a glimpse of Santa and his reindeers to come flying by although they knew he wouldn’t be stopping.

Not only were we our true selves but we even dressed as our true selves…….see above?

We were all mighty happy without alcohol and the kids were mighty happy even without presents! We told T1 that she wasn’t getting any presents this year because Santa sniffed out her bad behaviour from bullying her sister (although this happens both ways), not doing her school work at all (being the lazy bum that she is) and for using her smart ass mouth too often. The monkey was completely nonchalant, just went about being her happy-happy self.

She went hopping around playing Harry Potter wizard in the garden with her foreign cousins whilst T2 glued herself to me all evening because she was still recovering from our killer flu and being partly overwhelmed by the party atmosphere.

By the time we started yawning and feeling like beer barrels, T2 had already passed out before we could get in an Xmas shot! Both girls were wearing their Copenhagen Delights purple dresses that night and because I had a super busy day doing last minute Xmas shopping, I didn’t have time to wear a matching ensemble nor even had time to put make up on!

GAH.

And that is why my hair looks like shit too. Not even a Sereni & Shentel hairband saved the look…….

Merry Christmas again anyway!!!

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.
