30 Day Mom/Mum Challenge progress report

lol that sounds kinda serious for something so sweet! On the 1st August I started a 30 Day Mom/Mum Challenge that I found on Pinterest, you can see my post on it here. I thought I would give a little update on how it's working out for me...

Day 1 - We decided to go to Dizzyland one day this month, I wrote about this in the above post :o)

Day 2 - I thought it would be pretty difficult for me, turns out I breezed through it. Though I'm not sure it's something to be proud of, instead of finding a better way of dealing with the issues that normally have me yelling at my kids I was more like tuning the behavior out.

Day 3 - Such an easy one for me, I naturally hug and kiss all my children many times throughout the day. It was good though to make sure that I was hugging each one as much as the other rather than just grabbing on to whoever is closest to me - which is my normal practice and might not always work out fairly.

Day 4 - This one actually put me back a day, I was sooo exhausted that I believe I fell asleep before my kiddies stopped chattering. But I did manage to kiss my sleeping cherubs the following night.

Day 5 - This one I do from time to time but probably not often enough, it can be so easy to forget how young our children are, to treat them their age and not have to high expectations of them. It was good to focus on this again.

Day 6 - I bought the ingredients to make LCM Bars, the are always asking for them at the shops and LOVE them. Unfortunately they are just too expensive for us to buy on a weekly basis. So I looked up a recipe to try making them at home.

Day 7 -


Today my mission is to calculate how many weekends left until my children graduate.... I will have to let you know what I come up with. I have also made the LCM bars and can't wait to see what the girls think when they get home :o) If they are a hit I will post the recipe xox

30 Day Mom/Mum Challenge - AUGUST

I found and fell in love with this (among with many other wonderful things) on Pinterest and thought I would give it a go :o)
So August will be my 30 Day Mum Challenge!

Day 1 ~ Asking my kids "What is one thing we can do together this month" was a little painful.... I of course got all the normal answers like painting, play-doh, colouring in etc. It took a while for me to get them thinking a little outside the box. We threw around lots of ideas, from our local zoo, taking a train ride, visiting the Hunter Valley Gardens, catching a plane and decided on visiting a local theme park of sorts "Dizzyland".
The kids are really excited and I can't wait to take them either :o)
Wish me luck for tomorrow - "Go a whole day without yelling at your kids" lol.....
