Why is it that children like sleeping with their parents? I don’t remember ever sleeping with a parent (but hey, that could be due to severe failed memory loss). I certainly don’t wish to sleep with my parents now. *cringe*

It really is a dependency, isn’t it? I suppose it is much nicer sleeping with someone than alone. I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe not.

Actually, you know what? I secretly wish that I don’t sleep with anyone. Ssshhhh…….that’s how much I miss my bed space.

At three years old, Tee was sleeping on our bed since birth. This was the situation when she was two years old. Now at four, she is STILL on our bed. Wow! I’ve journalled her sleep habits all these years! *pat my own back*

The bed situation has somewhat changed since the past. If you’re interested in our bed demographics, we now have 2 toddler pillows, 2 toddler bolsters, 2 orthopaedic pillows, 4 normal pillows, THREE large bolsters, 2 adult duvets, 1 toddler duvet, 2 toddler blankets (and I’ll tell you why we need so many) and a mat on the floor; where Daddy sleeps. Oh, I’d almost forgotten that I’d even thought of having my own sleeping mat! Unfortunately, our bedroom floor space does not allow this or I’d have been rolling in delirious comfort long ago.

Tee doesn’t wear pyjamas to sleep. She wears a sexy negligee. She complaints that it is too hot. So once she is asleep every night, we put a blanket over her. Some time in the middle of the night, that blanket invariably gets kicked off and tangled somewhere between her legs, like a braid. Thus comes blanket number 2.

Just before dawn, that too gets kicked off but slept on or wrapped around with like a burrito, of course at all the wrong places, because she has by now turned her body to each side about 200 times. Thus comes blanket number 3.

Trust me, we’ve got it down to Rocket Science. THREE blankets work for us.

So, let me advise you, you new pregnant ladies. This…….

……is bad news if you ever want to get ANY sleep before your child finds a boyfriend or girlfriend to sleep with. This is how I slept with Tee as a baby.

And this is how we STILL sleep.

This is how close Tee has to be with me before she can sleep. I am her sleeping drug.

Great! Tee already has an addiction at 4.

My only saving grace is that Dr Sears says it’s OKAY!

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.
