Most people would think this is a bad idea from the onset. I certainly did. But my masseuse told me it was good to show children the nice things in life so that they will have a taste of the good life and then will be forced to work for it, or at least they will learn to work for something they really want.

The analogy sure works for me because I certainly love the good life and know I have to work for it. Likewise for Tee, because she is so spoilt, she now knows that if she wants to continue getting the nice things in life, she too has to work for it.

Good strategy, I’ll say. It’s one way of making the little ones do what you want 🙂

Tee has become a fish spa addict. She has asked to return there every weekend. Of course, this isn’t feasible. I wonder why she likes it so much!! It totally freaks me out. This was at the Kenko Fish Spa at Pavillion where adults pay RM38 for half an hour of fish bites and children under 4 go free. Look at the fishes, they are as big if not bigger than Tee’s little feet!!! And she still DARES sit and watch!

Oh, can you also see my husband’s very hairy legs? He is secretly Punjabi.

I would say that this exercise also freaks me out hygienically because really, how good are Malaysians when it comes to hygiene? Do staff really check if customers have open wounds or skin diseases before being allowed to enter? How well does everyone really wash their feet before dipping? Know what I mean??? Yuck.

See how much my little one devours in her little pampering session?

This is how it works with us. For every page of her homework that she does earns her 10 minutes of TV. If she wants an hour of TV, she has to do 10 pages (which she does in less than 15 minutes anyway). Lucky for her, she likes doing her work. Apart from that, we make her do household chores and help around with whatever we need help with to earn her her points for the nice things in life that SHE wants.

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.
