As a mum, you’ve got your bag of tricks – ways to make your little kid happy in the craziest of tantrums and silly voices to turn a chuckle into a real belly laugh.
Today, I turned into MacGuyver — what to do when Jovie decided to spill all of Jasper’s (diluted) apple juice all over the food court floor. There was no napkin dispenser around, none of the shops were open yet so I couldn’t ask them for a sponge or something. I wasn’t going to just leave it on the floor for some poor person to slip on, so it’s the nappy bag to the rescue!
The baby wipes weren’t absorbent enough, and I didn’t think my wash cloth had the power. So out comes the spare nappy and that apple juice spill is history!
Sure, I might of looked a bit strange blotting the floor with a nappy, but that floor was cleaner and drier than it was before.
The moral of the story? Snugglers ARE awesome. And so am I, 😛
after some rain and some wind, out came a rainbow – actually, it was a double rainbow!
i literally gasped at how big it was and how strong the colours were against the grey cloud – i rushed to get my camera and managed to get a few snaps before it faded away. so cool 🙂
so i’ve been thinking about that quote i posted yesterday, alot.
maybe the key to success IS to concentrate on what you do already, and get better at it. refine and improve yourself. i remember another quote from oprah – “make ordinary, extraordinary” or something along the lines of that. the same deal though, make what YOU do, better. don’t spend your time pursuing something you’re not already good at. spend it making your natural talents, better.
what do you think? do you think that’s too limiting? how will we ever learn new things?
or maybe that’s not the point. the point is to be successful, without working yourself into the ground.
