Toddler fashion faux pas

Saturday was a tremendously busy day for us. We had a birthday party in the morning, some friends visiting in the evening and about 278 tasks to accomplish in between.

Since we were ALL rushing all over the place first thing in the morning, I quickly tugged out a pretty dress from Tee’s cupboard and yelled at the Hubs to get her dressed. It crossed my mind if I should choose her panties as well, but I decided that since all her panties were pretty, it was safe enough that whatever he selected would go with her dress …….which I knew would be whatever on top. Trust men.

After finishing my last wave of mascara, I darted out the front door with my mind in a jumble, and finally got settled in the car; when I noticed……..

Tee in her very pretty pink crocheted dress with SPORTS SOCKS AND SPORTS SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and gentleman, have your ever, EVER gone for a public function wearing your Nike trainers with your luxurious evening gown or tux? It’s like wearing your G-string as your headband!

The car automatically turned into a war zone with fireworks shooting from one direction and two defenseless allies who didn’t know what hit them. Then Tee voluntarily tried to bail her Daddy out,

“Look, Mummy!! My socks and shoes are pink! They MATCH my dress!”

It doesn’t matter if the colour matches, I continued harping at the Hubs. Out of Baby Imelda Marcos’s shoe cupboard are at least 10 pretty sandals of pink and white that he could have put on for her to wear to the party. But instead, he unknowingly ruined his daughter’s reputation (AND MINE). So what to do?

Wait. We’re not done yet.

So after getting a dose of fireworks blasting in your ears, you’d think that the Hubs would at least check with me if he was unsure about dressing Tee the next time. Right?

Later in the evening, Tee was prancing around in her panties and a turqoise top when suddenly, our friends called to say they were downstairs. Since we were to go out for dinner, I yelled to Tee and the Hubs to quickly put some pants on and what did she walk out with?

A BRIGHT RED AND FLORAL SKIRT!!! With turqoise? I don’t think so.

Again, she has matching turqoise shorts, pants AND skirts all in her cupboards. Or denim! Why didn’t he think of denim??? Denim goes with everything.

*sigh*

“I can’t believe my parents made a mockery of me today. I’ve lost all my friends. They think I am weird. I think I need to move to Alaska. Maybe there they’d have no choice but to put me in bear suits everyday.”

Today, Tee said “Mummy, I don’t want Daddy to match my clothes anymore…..”

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.
Show your support and spread the love!
