I’ve read that the number of kids you should invite to a toddler’s party is equivalent to the toddler’s age. If she is one year old, you invite one other friend. If she is two, two friends, three – three friends etc. Of course, this is KL and we never follow the rules book.
Most of the parties we’ve attended have anywhere between 15-30 kids per party. What is it with parents? I know….it’s like hosting a wedding. If you invite A, how can you not invite B. Right? Then the invite list gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
I made the decision last year that this year at Tee’s third birthday party, she will have less than a handful of friends. I haven’t yet figured out how this will materialise because in her class alone, there are 11 other kids. Her regular playgroup friends consist of another five. Then there are the friends from the charity I volunteer at (which are more my friends than hers), and then the bits and bops of friends (there must be like what? Thirty of them??) whom she sees like five times a year because there just isn’t enough time to see everyone often enough.
It will be a simple house party (NO MATTER WHAT MY MOTHER SAYS THIS TIME!!!). And we will have this to entertain the handful of kids with so they can BOUNCE away!
NB – in case you’re wondering what this is, it is a 6 feet diameter mini bouncy castle that has made real estate in my 1800 sf apartment.
**************************************************************************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.
