Now I know why most Halloween parties in town are not catered for the under fives. DUH!!!

First and foremost, never ever leave anything to the last minute. Because I did and am always rushing around like a headless chicken, I forgot the most important tool for the Halloween party. The all mattering Nikon. Have you ever had a wedding without a single camera present? It feels like shit in your nostrils.

We arrived promptly with a scary face and because the sun was shining brightly, Tee insisted on wearing a white T-shirt under her black T-shirt, and then her black cloak over. That is THREE layers in hot afternoon sun. Go figure. Toddlers are from another planet anyway. She was sweating but perhaps wanted to add to her look of wet, straggly hair. In the end, she resembled a hybrid witch-vampire more than a witch.

She refused to wear her black nails that I oh, so painfully carved out. She refused to carry her magic wand. She refused to carry her black broom. She didn’t like her cloak. The face painting lasted all of half an hour because she didn’t like looking like anyone else but herself, because, you know, when you look like Cindy Crawford, who wants to look like anything else.

Do I look scareeeeee????!!!!!

It was a great party. There were tattoos and body painting, coloured sand painting (which the kids loved and spent their entire lives on……), a fear factor booth where kids had to put their arm into a hole within a secret box and in it contained slime. EWE!!! Then they picked out an alphabet from the slime and were supposed to name something beginning with that alphabet. Tee got the letter ‘X’ of all letters. She had to think a little and at first said ‘zebra’ but switched to ‘xylophone’ when we said “No…….????”

The food and drink were great. No complaints but you know how easy it is to satisfy me when it comes to food *burp* There was a treasure hunt for snakes. DOUBLE EWE!!! There was entertainment by a mad clown vampire who made the kids laugh through some games. And last but not least, there was the trick or treating which TOTALLY FREAKED T1 OUT!!!!!

All the three year olds with their little pumpkin buckets went from room to room but whenever a door opened, it was pitched black and out popped a scary figure with bagful of treats for everyone. Despite the treats, T1 didn’t want to do any trick or treating after her first room. Despite all the treats she was missing out on.

The party ended with a pumpkin pinata which they pulled apart. So fun. It burst into a million sweets and the kids went wild scampering for M&Ms and Smarties to fill their pumpkin buckets.

We finally left before the rain poured down on us. Our first Halloween party. She said she really had fun. Bless her heart.

Thank you so much for inviting us to your Halloween Party!

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.
