25.01.2022 One of my favourite sayings and one that rings true for me time and time again! Mummas... if you are struggling at the moment just remember theres a reason for it and theres something better coming just around the corner

25.01.2022 We have been starting our ‘homeschooling’ days with 10-15 minutes of brain gym each morning and it has been such a great way to start the day. It’s so much fun and the kids love it. The aim of Brain Gym is to allow more blood flow to the brain which in turn promotes optimal learning. It helps improve comprehension, balance, focus, organisation and emotional health. I’ll put some links in the comments incase anyone else would like to give it a go

24.01.2022 R U OK? Not all scars show, not all wounds heal and often we dont see the pain someone feels. But know... its ok not to be ok! Ive been there and just remember I can have my kettle on in seconds, wine delivered in minutes and a listening ear for hours. Youre never alone! Reach out and together we can move mountains

24.01.2022 My beautiful mumma sent me this the other day after I had a tough day and I just LOVE it What no. is your fav? Mine would have to be 1, 2 and 4

23.01.2022 Because every photo tells a story We had the best time at my SIL wedding on the weekend but the family photos didnt quite go to plan Who else has family photos like this? ... #ifyourebrave #sharetheminthecomments See more

22.01.2022 This is me in a nutshell at the moment Anyone else having these feels...

21.01.2022 Our very first daily timetable. I create a new one each day but this is what we started with on Monday #slowandsteadywinstherace

19.01.2022 An oldie but a goodie

18.01.2022 A friend shared this life lesson with me the other day and I just LOVED it and got so much value out of it. I hope you do too I turned 33 this week and for my birthday I didnt want ANYTHING but instead, I wanted to share what Ive been blessed with this year. So, I wrote encouraging notes in 33 different greeting cards, put some money inside or a gift card or a lottery ticket and took my son for a walk around the city so we could hide them. Now, on the front of each env...elope I wrote, "OPEN ME!" and taped them somewhere at eye level, some place easy to see. After we "hid" each one, my son and I went for ice-cream and the park and then made our way home. On the way back we noticed that almost ALL of the cards had been taken. But there was one we had taped to a glass door and no one had taken it. So, we sat on a bench across the street and watched. Person after person saw the envelope and kept walking. Some people would stop, look around and then keep walking. Some people would turn to the friend next to them and say "look!" but then the friend would say, "leave it" or shrug it off and theyd both walk away. Yall! There was a $100 bill in that envelope and I watched hundreds of people walk past it or just choose not to open it up. It was exhausting to watch, infuriating even. My son and I couldnt believe that NO ONE would take it. We laughed so hard when someone almost reached out for it but shook their head and kept on going. Eventually, we took it down and on the way back home we slipped it under a windshield wiper of a car that had gotten a parking ticket... So, here is the lesson: Every day, the universe hides little gifts for us all over the city. How often do we walk right past it? How often do we believe those gifts are not meant for us? How many times do we let someone elses opinion impact our desire to reach out and take what is ours? Ladies-- open your eyes this week and see if you can find all of the hidden and the not-so-hidden gifts that the universe wants to give to you. Theyre there.

18.01.2022 I received this message in an email the other day from a very wise lady and it spoke volumes to me. It really made me think and just made complete sense to me. Ive definitely learnt a few hard lessons the past few weeks and have been put in some tricky situations. Although it was hard at the time I know it was something I had to go through to grow as a person. I now know that everything happens for a reason, that I am on the right path and that there are bigger and better things to come #watchthisspace #bigthingstocome #feelingpositive #blessedtobelovedsafeandhappy

18.01.2022 We turned our playroom into a classroom on the weekend and this is where we spend a lot of our day now

17.01.2022 Haha... can anyone relate to this? I remember it all too well and it was so much worse with baby no.3 A big shout out to all you amazing mummas out there. Whether youre breastfeeding or bottle feeding... youre a multi-tasking genius

16.01.2022 Every morning, after we’ve done an hour of work, I have been allocating half an hour of ‘outdoor play.’ The kids are absolutely loving this time and have been making up an obstacle course each day. They are having so much fun doing it and have decided to start timing each other to see if they can get faster each day. This is a great activity to do to promote focus and endurance. I think Mr 6 has to work on his focus next time though as he got a little bit distracted by the Garbage Truck

16.01.2022 This mumma survived her first week of home schooling and what a week it was! My kids still arent my biggest fans and just want to go back to school so hopefully this pandemic will be over sooner rather than later. Half way through the week we decided to get a whiteboard to write our daily plans on and to hang some of our art work on. Its really starting to feel like a classroom now

16.01.2022 Mumma, I hope you believe in yourself just as much as your children do

15.01.2022 Celebrate the small wins!!! They come together and create the BIG wins

15.01.2022 I came across this on my Facebook newsfeed last night and it just gave me goosebumps and warmed my heart High fives to all you amazing mummas out there who are raising respectful, thoughtful, caring young men I hope my boys grow up to be just as amazing as this young man

14.01.2022 Aaaahhhh.... the life of a SAHM Mum and a tired, tantrumming toddler at the shops #whydoIdoittomyself #didntwanttowalkbecarriedorputintothetrolley #allthelooks #prettyimpressedIkeptmycalm #pleasetellmethishappenstoothers

13.01.2022 Always and forever Never stop believing in yourself beautiful mummas

07.01.2022 Weve all been rude at some time or other and it is definitely the easy way out But being kind is so much more fullfilling than being rude or being right!!! Choose to be kind every single day and see how your vibrations change

05.01.2022 Haha... who else hates dusting? Its my pet cleaning hate

05.01.2022 Yes!!! I can totally relate to this now. I was so afraid of moving away from my family and friends and I wont lie the past year has been freaking HARD!!! Ive laughed, Ive cried, Ive had meltdowns, Ive had tantrums and Ive cried some more but it is now all starting to fall into place and I feel happier and freer then I have in a long time. Right now I know the struggles Ive had the past year have lead me to exactly where I am meant to be

04.01.2022 I wont lie Being a full time stay at home Mum again for the past year has been tough going. But there is one thing I know for sure... I will never look back on life and think I spent too much time with my children.... #thedaysarelongbuttheyearsareshort #lovemybabies #lovemakingmemories

04.01.2022 To the mum whos breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage. Youre a good mum. To the mum whos formula feeding: Isnt science amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldnt produce enough would suffer, but now? Better living through chemistry! Youre a good mum. To the cloth nappy mum: Fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the bank account. Youre a good mum.... To the disposable nappy mum: Damn those things hold a lot, and its excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! Youre a good mum. To the mum who stays home: I can imagine it isnt easy doing what you do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing. Youre a good mum. To the mum who works: Its wonderful that youre sticking to your career, youre a positive role model for your children in so many ways, its fantastic. Youre a good mum. To the mum who had to feed her kids from the drive thru all week because youre too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: Youre feeding your kids, and hey, I bet they arent complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M on it. Youre a good mum. To the mum who gave her kids a home-cooked breakfast lunch and dinner for the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important, and theyre learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age. Youre a good mum. To the mum with the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy restaurant: Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in a place where they cant run around. Youre a good mum. To the mum with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: they always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds dont they? Weve all been through it. Youre a good mum. To the mums who judge other mums for any of the above... REMEMBER there is no perfect way to be a good mum. Each mother has different skills, different challenges, different abilities and definitely different children. The choice is different and unique for each mum and each family. We are ALL good mums trying our best despite our circumstances #mumsempoweringmums #letssticktogether #ivegotyourback #myfirstlove

04.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful Dads out there! I hope you all had a fun-filled day with your families. We sure did

03.01.2022 Stay at home Mum depression.... the thing nobody talks about I mean, how DARE you complain after being gifted this opportunity to stay at home and raise YOUR own kids... but its not that simple. Of course we SAHMs are being grateful to stay home and raise our babies BUT did you know that its literally all we become. No one talks about the isolation.... No one talks about the loss of identity. No one talks about the loneliness. No one talks about losing your sense of self. No one talks about how you had to give up your career because its cheaper for you to stay home. No one talks about how you cry in the shower because your day was overwhelming. No one understands why youre tired. No one understands why youre irritable. No one understands why you need a mental break. No one understands why youre so aggravated with your kids. No one understands why after youve been home all day, the house is a wreck still. No one understands why you just need 5 minutes with no one speaking to or touching you. No one understands why youve lost your sex drive. No one understands why youre completely & utterly exhausted, after all, you just sit at home all day No one understands the feeling you have when you are told you dont have a "real job". Most of us were working women at one point. We got to go to a job and interact with other adults outside our home. We contributed financially to our household. (Most of us search for some kind of side hustle or part time job because it would sure help with financial relief). We didnt feel like an endless maid. We got that break away (even though yes, work is a love/ hate relationship) that gives you space from the people you live with (children, spouse) because yes, EVERY relationship needs time away from each other. Thats healthy!!! Contrary to popular belief... YOUNEEDABREAKDAILY I cant tell you how many women I meet or know that say "oh, you have to much time on your hands. "I sure wish I could stay home, I wouldnt complain. Well good for you! I can guarantee you will change your mind 6 months in, unless youre wealthy and have money to constantly go do things. I once was you. I wished upon a damn star I could stay home with my kids because I wanted to spend all the time I could with them. I didnt realize all that came with being a SAHM. Oh but YOU chose to have those kids. YOU shouldve thought about that before having them. If you didnt want to go through all this YOU shouldve never had kids & YOU said you want more???? Yep, heard all those before. So to all my peeps out there reading this... can you do me a favour? Next time you hear or see a SAHM venting her frustrations, listen and make her feel like shes somebody. That her struggles are not invalid. You know just because she doesnt have a "real job.

01.01.2022 Hahaha... YES!!! Who else can relate?

01.01.2022 Hi beautiful Mummas... Wow its been a while since I have posted on here and boy have I missed this little page. But how times have changed!!! If you told me a year ago that I would be back to being a stay at home mum who was home-schooling her children I would have laughed at you. But yet, here I am I will be re-launching this page for all you Mummas out there that need any help, advice or guidance on home-schooling your children while navigating through this once-in-a-...lifetime experience (aka Corona Virus). Over the coming days I will post the schedule Ive been setting for my kids (aged 3, 6 and 9), how we have been running our days and some really cool resources you can use too. Dont be afraid to reach out if you have any questions or want any help at all. As a teacher, I am happy to help or guide you in any way I can. We are all in this together See more
