Happy Mumma - Means Happy Family :)


"One thing that seems to pull me out of my funk is to spend some focus time on me. When I am taking a little care of myself it all seems to pull together again. I seem to be able to focus on my well being for a little while before the daily grind of 'getting things done' seems to take over. This way I figure that I will be able to look back on my week and think to myself - better take care of numero uno to keep up the family harmony :"

Its not Monday ........... but did i manage to achieve some Mumma Stuff last week? I sure did :)

*I got some much needed and long overdue catch up time with my dear friend and Fitness Barbie. Did I mention that she also did her very own Bootcamp on me?! I was pushed to limits that I didn't know existed and I sure did wallow in the phrase "No pain, No gain!" My legs hurt so bad that I wasn't able to sit on the toilet without flopping and nearly ripping the seat off! But after 3 days they have come good again and now I can run :)
*I made time for myself and I exercised 5 out of 7 days.
*We caught up with Mikes brother, wife and their son (who is the same age as Callum) as they have moved into the same area as us, its been a very long time between catch ups and found out some exciting news, they are expecting again :) After 10 or so years of believing they were unable to have more children they are over the moon :)
*I've spent some time reading :) How I have missed immersing myself in a book and just letting myself get swept away by the story.........I think the last time I spent a good chunk of time reading was before Braith was born.

I'm a simple needs girl, who is happiness is triggered by little moments, I just have to remember to live in the moment, rather then being too busy to notice.

I hope everyone out there is also enjoying the simple things in life :)

Its MUMMA MONDAY time already, and as per usual the week has flown on by!

But I did manage to achieve some Mumma stuff :)

*
I had a afternoon sleep on Sunday (nope didn't double up and get the usual morning sleep in)
* Probably TMI but I shaved my legs! (those who know me know that I love winter as I hate shaving my legs, even though I feel 'sexier' for doing it lol!) and waxed my eyebrows :)
*I wore my favourite dress, cause it fits again
* I ate healthier more often then not

I'm a simple girl who is easily pleased by simple things :)

Hope everyone managed some Mumma Time to renew themselves, no matter how simple it may have been.

Happy Mumma - Means Happy Family :)




The last week has been a bit blah to say the least. I've not been the Mumma that I want to be or that my family deserves. Its easy to have excuses to back it up, I'm tired, I'm renovating, the chores are piling up, I have 6 kids (at home), Kadee is teething and Braith is still not sleeping.

My patience has been thin, I have been quick to raise my voice and my manners have been deplorable. To put it frankly I've been a shit Mumma.

One thing that seems to pull me out of my funk is to spend some focus time on me. When I am taking a little care of myself it all seems to pull together again. I seem to be able to focus on my wellbeing for a little while before the daily grind of 'getting things done' seems to take over.

So I'm going to blog about focusing on 'me'. It maybe even more boring then my many posts about nothing but never the less, it will help me to focus and be present when it comes to 'me' :)

So here goes my first ever HAPPY MUMMA MONDAY - even if it seems like a little bit of nothing, as long as its about me then its worthy of a HAPPY MUMMA MONDAY MENTION.

This way I figure that I will be able to look back on my week and think to myself - better take care of numero uno to keep up the family harmony :)

*Last week I really didn't do much for me, but I did get a Sunday sleep-in = HAPPY MUMMA :)

Looking forward to lots of HAPPY MUMMA TIME to report for next week :)

I've never done a linky before but I thought this might be worthy :)

Take Care! oxoxox
