Tee and I in bed, just about to have an afternoon nap.
“Mummy, do you remember that Aunty Lynn who gave me that pwesent?”
“No? Who is Aunty Lynn? Do you mean Aunty Linda?” [I know no Aunty Lynn]
“No……Aunty Lynn, remember? She gave me that pwesent….?” [Mummy cracking her head trying to figure out who Tee means]
“What present? I’m sure you have her name wrong.”
“It’s Aunty Lynn!!! The one that gave me the pwesent!!!” [she gets frustrated, and when notices that I am losing interest in her charade…..changes the subject and continues]
“What about Uncle Emu? Do you remember we went to his house?” [By which point Mummy knows she is making up stories AGAIN]
“What Uncle Emu???!!!! [just to give her the benefit of doubt]
“We went to his house…..Uncle Emu!!”
“There is NO Uncle Emu!!! You’re making up stories!”
“Haha….I twicked you!!!” [She wriggles and giggles and finds it so hilarious. Toddlers are weird, I’m telling you]
**************************************************
In the shower today using a L’Occitane soap that was given to Tee by a friend. I said to the Hubs:
“Hmmm……this L’Occitane soap has lasted very long. Maybe we should go buy some more, maybe it’s worth the money. It’s really creamy…..Mmmmm…..”
[Quick as a flash, he responded] “The reason it’s lasted so long is because I’ve been using that industrial floor cleaner down there to shower everyday!”
Huh??? [….as I blurly looked at my collection of shower gels and shampoo to find what he was talking about. Of course, there was nothing.]
**************************************************
Coming home after dinner with my mother this evening with a whiny, tired toddler.
“WAahhhh!!!! I want my Nana…..Can I call my Nana?”
“She’s driving home right now. We’ll call her later, OK?”
“WAaahhhh!!!! I need my Nana!!! I want my Nana to come to my house!!!” [this continues the whole drive home despite us ignoring her and she does. not. stop.]
“WAaaaahhhh!!! I want my Nana!!! I love my Nana!!!!”
“Tee, do you want some chocolate?”
“OKAY!” [The flood of tears stop instantly as the eyes look around eagerly]
**************************************************************************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.


Tee sounds like Alycia in the 3rd scenario. Food and junkies can really placate a whining toddler…. instantly!
