We got this beautiful photo today thanks to poop 💩. Earlier this morning we had a branding/ family photoshoot scheduled in our home for 8.30am. Come 8.01, I was snuggling bubs in bed and doing IG stories talking about the exciting day we had ahead.

Next minute, poop on the bed, poop on the pillow, poop on bubs’ hands, bubs’ hair, MY hair!

Worst thing was the hubs was out running an errand! I was alone 😭😩😖. Carried bubs like a bomb to the bathroom for a shower, only to realise later that I had left a trail of poop from the bedroom to the bathroom #rookiemistake

Showered the poopootasaurus, cleaned up poop trail, scrubbed soiled sheets, threw it into the washing machine, had a 2min shower with the bathroom door open, got breakfast ready for the kids and JUST made it to open the door for the hair and makeup stylist with my dripping wet hair.

Throughout the whole chaos, I found it pretty hilarious and ironic that the photoshoot was our attempt to document mum life and yet the REAL mum life wasn’t going to be documented haha.

So here’s a photo of our naked bed to remind us of our spectacularly chaotic, yet perfectly imperfect mum life. This is us finding magic in the mundane :) Also, 1/3 kids looking at the camera is a WIN!! Please tell me you relate?!! 😆😂.

• WORD OF 2019 - COURAGE •

For years now, I’ve had several big dreams placed upon my heart and for years now, I’ve let fear stand in the way of me taking steps to achieve those dreams. They come in the form of thoughts like “Oh you’re not good enough to do THAT!”, “You don’t know how to do that!” and “Now’s not the time for it, you’ve got BABIES!” etc.

So I procrastinated, even though deep down I knew fear was at the root of all the excuses.

But at the start of this year, I decided to call fear out and stare it in the face. I decided that my word for the year would be COURAGE.

COURAGE to be the mum I’ve always wanted to be and take my kids out on adventures in the day alone.

COURAGE to dream for a family vacation even though we didn’t have the finances for it at the start of the year.

COURAGE to own my voice and to share my passion for motherhood and play in a louder voice. Did you hear it??!! 😆

And while I know there still is and will always be lots of room for growth, 2019 was indeed a year of COURAGE in so many more ways that I could have imagined back in Jan.

COURAGE to accept podcast interviews and speaking/teaching engagements. Swipe to see a sneak peek!

COURAGE to put my 4th baby (Playful Parent Academy) out into the world

COURAGE to invest in myself even before I think I’m ready! (like this gorgeous new branding by the amazing Rachel @hopscotchbrandingstudio) #StayTunedForBigReveal

COURAGE to step into all that God has purposed for my life and make a bigger impact on lives.

2019 has blown my mind. But I know there’s more! Can’t wait to share my 2020 word with you all!

p.p.s Playful Parent Academy is finally opening for enrolment again in Jan! Click on link in bio to get on the waitlist and reserve your spot now :)
