What you set as a priority for today?
House cores?
Shopping?
Mindfulness?
Pampering session?

We all have different priorities… but we should have one in common… that whatever we do, we prioritize the things that make us feel happy.

Small things…
Small things that “cost you nothing” :)
Small joys…

Small joys and short breaks to breathe..
to connect with yourself… your true “yourself”…

Stop and ask yourself what you really want, what makes you feel happy,…fulfilled… what helps you grow…
Think…put down on the paper… “reschedule” things that more consume your energy than they are giving you energy.

What has to be done,has to be done,… but reschedule… rearrange your to do list… reorganize it… and let the Joy be your first meeting of the day…
Everything else… can wait…

Much love,…
Your Mamallama ☺️

Life is a beautiful bakery ♥️

Do you ever stop and think how this life that it’s been give to us is a true miracle…?
Do you ever stop and think how it is amazing how we came to this world?
…how fragile and strong we are at the same time…?

Since I was a child I was always curious to know how EVERYTHING is made…
As I grew older, my interests to know how something is made didn’t change… just it was “adjusted” and I became curious to know more about how we all came to this world and what we are made of…
How our body is built… how our mind is built?

What are main “ingredients” of our emotions?

I came to conclusion we are all made of love,… someone less, someone more,…
and than spiced up with genes, life challenges and experiences,…
topped with consciousness.
Ingredients are the same for all of us,
just proportions are different.

Some people are made with more love, so they don’t need too many spices or additional coats to be amazing.
For some being loaded with many challenges it won’t change their taste if the base is good,…and consciousness coating is rich… they still can be amazing 🙂

We are all different and that’s amazing because knowing there is so many different “recipes”…we can try different things and find the one that works best for us.

It is the same thing with happiness…emotions…

We are all different…
We have different starting points, we had different backgrounds, experiences and our emotional responses are different, based on that.
But if we all use the coating of consciousness there is a way to make amazing “cake”.
It is all about proportion :)

Don’t be lazy to explore the recipes,…
to try,… to ask for help or someone to teach you how you could do it, until you master it. :)

Life is super interesting and lovely bakery and you can learn to make a perfect cake… just you need to dare :)

You are your best cake,…best DIY project you could ever make 🙂
Roll up your sleeves and explore…

“Our life is what our thoughts make it”
~ Marcus Aurelius

The way we see the world around us, our world will be…

If we choose happiness, our life will be fulfilled with happiness.
If we choose sadness…we will live sadness…
It’s up to us…

Simple as that.

Choose wisely…
If you can,…always choose happiness.

Let yourself to start new week with smile.
Wish you a wonderful Monday and rest of the week 🙂

Be here and now…

Every day we are running after something…
Running to reach work on time,… to finish shopping, daily tasks,… to be a good parent, professional, friend,… and scattered between all these roles we often forget one important role… to be a child here and now…. And we forget to be present.

If you are a parent, for sure you found yourself in situation when your little one was insisting on your presence during play time. For sure,… thinking about all the things from your “MUST” list, you had on your mind” “oh,why he/she is nagging so much… why now… why he/she can’t play on his/her own… I have things to do.”

…and you know… they can do it without us,…but they don’t want. They don’t need expensive toys,…they want US.

When children are asking parents to play with them, that’s not because they are not capable or independent enough, than because they need our time,help,presence… here and now.

They need us, to know…
…we hear them
…we see them
…we love them.

They need us when they are
tired, sad, worried,…
happy, euphoric,excited…
They need us ALWAYS…

Are we really so busy, we can’t give them what they need?
Are we so busy to not have time to satisfy our inner child…?

…even thought sometimes it looks demanding,…“not in a right moment”,…“ you have things to do”… find the way to satisfy your child so as your inner one.

They both just need to be seen, heard, visible and loved.
Here and now.

DIY calming lavender play-dough 🌿
(without cooking)

Calming lavender play-dough is quite easy to make, much more cost efficient,
than buying the pre-made kind and usually lasts longer when stored properly.
With the addition of few drops of lavender essential oil it can be an engaging and calming activity for those days where you need a few extra minutes with your cup of coffee, before you’re ready to be a adult. 🙈

Lavender play-dough is amazing calming activity when you’re trying to get dinner made or when you had a terrible day at work and keeping a cool and calm head for two more minutes sounds like “a mission”.
Regardless of origin of “WHY” every parent out there needs a few items in their “bags of tricks” that can engage and stimulate children for independent and calm play.

However,
play-dough can be taken a step further and become not only an engaging activity for growing little minds, but also calming one.
Adding lavender essential oil into your child’s play-dough you’re providing several of your child senses the relaxing calming stimulation.

If you are worried about your little one trying to eat this play-dough, have no fear it is entirely edible, as it is made only with cooking ingredients… yes even the lavender essential oil.
Lavender is in many amazing dishes,
but if you decide to use it for cooking or for DIY play-dough, choose the high quality essential oil, just to make sure there are healthy and clean as can be,
as your little one will touch it and play for some time.

So let’s see the ingredients :

• 2 cup of flour
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 1 cup of hot water
• 2 tbsp of any cooking oil
• 2 tbsp of cream of tartar
• food coloring

If you want some extra sensory stimulation you can add dry lavender flower buds, glitter, seeds, sand…

Mix it,… knead it,… enjoy it :)

…and don’t forget to store it in proper air tight container in order to lasts longer :)
Have fun with your little one

Dealing with tantrums

Now when we know all what the tantrums are and why they occur (if you didn’t…check my previous post)… let’s see what we could do about that.

No matter what you are doing, TANTRUMS WILL OCCUR…
It is a nature, biological, developmental thing and has nothing with you or your parenting style. Ok… maybe sometimes,…could be related, but TANTRUMS ARE NORMAL… and you are a good parent even if your child is going through this.

…and after all when we know all this, let’s accept it and find ways to go through this together and overcome it along with our little ones.

Scroll left and see what you can do about it…
