Imperfections?



I've just finishing listening to an awesome book called "The Gifts of Imperfection" , by Brene' Brown.
I just love Audio Books, as you busy mums would get, reading time is a luxury! I still do get to actually read, but for car trips and working out or..... working out if you're going to work out 🤔
That's been more me the last week 😌 Listening to audio books has been brilliant.

This book really hit a cord with me. I have spent years battling this. Trying to fit in and be 'normal' ! Who am I kidding !!??? Normal !!!!! I have 13 flippin' children for pete's sake.
I haven't been normal for the past 11 children !! 🤣😂🤣 It's time I just stepped up and own who I am and stop looking for approval or perfection. Be comfortable in your own skin and stop trying to fit into everyone else's mould. My hope for you is the same.
There is so much more in this book and that's just one little nugget I'm chewing over and really want my kids to get too.
Be true to you !

                                    Hello Super Hero Mumma! How's everything in your world?  Crazy busy? Cruisy? Well... let me tell you.... For me it has been a little cra cra to say the least.  Two words... School Holidays! In a nut shell, this is both awesome and unbearable all at the same time.  Things are noisy, messy, unorganised, fun, entertaining, uncontrolled and just plain crazy!! And most of the time CHAOS  (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome !)  But we sucked it up and still invited a gorgeous young mum and her 7 kidlets over spontaneously yesterday....mess and all!   E...

Micro Manager Mum !! Who else can put their hand up to this one? As I prepared to go away for a whole week, I had prepared meals, instructed what to defrost and heat when and with what ( so nobody would get scurvy and die!) had asked for a huge favour to the daycare that Jed visited last year and had him squeezed in for 3 of the days that he's not in Kindy, cooked a whole ton of food...etc etc... I must admit that there were a few things that I couldn't get around to or just plainly decided that there was really no point,,, like sweeping the floor just one.more.time !!!! I'm here 5000kms from home and trying to let go! I have a few very heated, steam coming out of ears - type moments when I go here. My darling 79 yr old mother text me a 'happy landing' message to also include, "Jed had a lovely sleep"....this was the day he was to be in daycare !! Jed is 5. Jed is tiring and fast. Jed does NOT need to be at my older parents place all day,...

Some awesome thoughts for today  💕 💕 💕  choose happiness  😍 "Dear Stranger, You don’t know me but I hear you are going through a tough time, and I would like to help you. I want to be open and honest with you, and let you know that happiness isn’t something just afforded to a special few. It can be yours, if you take the time to let it grow. It’s OK to be stressed, scared and sad, I certainly have been throughout my life. I’ve confronted my biggest fears time and time again. I’ve cheated death on many adventures, seen loved ones pass away, failed in business, minced my words in front of tough audiences, and had my heart broken. I know I’m fortunate to live an extraordinary life, and that most people would assume my business success, and the wealth that comes with it, have brought me happiness. But they haven’t; in fact it’s the reverse. I am successful, wealthy and connected because I am happy. So many people get caught up in doing what they think...
