A Mother’s Monologue

….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!

Read me in your Email Suscribe to my posts

Once upon a time, she designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, she cleans poop and is student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, she has certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

This blog is about Mamapumpkin: A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem.

She writes anything that comes out of her head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets her into trouble (according to her husband, whom she considers the love of her life.......on a good day).

Her 2 pet monkeys drive her towards challenge after challenge, 24/7. Day after Day.....and by the way, her parents are Muslim, her in-laws Buddhist, she's Catholic and her Hubs, an Atheist. She's thinking her kids should be Hindu, just to complete the rainbow religion cycle.

Gotta love it.

Reading to toddlers

There was a point in time when I wanted to know how I could teach Tee to actually read by herself because I was tired of reading to her. Do you have any idea how boring it is to read The Monkey Puzzle consecutively seven times??? And even if it wasn’t The Monkey Puzzle seven times, she would sometimes demand to be read 15 books in a row, leaving me breathless. I really mean, leaving me with an asthma attack.

Little did I know that I could have found all the reading advice I wanted right here!!! If only I’d known earlier *sigh* I wasted so much time searching and searching when Tee’s school finally handed parents some reading to your toddler guidelines. Do visit the site to get the best reading start for your children.
