….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
Remember Tee and her love for LEGO? I tell everyone that she built the house and she keeps telling everyone, “No!! I just gave ALL the ideas and told Daddy where to put the pieces. I put some pieces but Daddy was the contractor!!”
“But I thought you did it yourself? Wasn’t Daddy busy working?”
“Yes, but I kept asking him to help stick the pieces where I wanted it.”
These two lego vehicles were built by Tee entirely on her own, no Daddy’s help at all. She had the instructions manual (all pictures) and she patiently constructed them all by herself. We weren’t watching her but we were pretty impressed. It means she knows how to follow instructions.


Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have 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 me, 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. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
