We all had great fun at Ted’s 2nd birthday party! So proud of my charming, entertaining, always cheerful comedian! #monstersincparty #monstersincbirthdayparty #2yrold #terrifictwos

Recently I started to drink detox water - as a step towards healthy living and being free of toxins! But it got me thinking about how important it is to detox not just our bodies. It our lives. So much junk accumulated over the years, negative thoughts, judgements, past failures, bitterness, broken relationships, labels we have placed on ourselves and been placed on by others, past expectations, the list goes on! Sometimes these build up so much we forget to have a clean out and nasty stuff starts coming out. When I saw that in myself I realized it’s time to be proactive in my growth, in taking a maintenance check of my heart, giving to God all the crappy stuff and filling that space with his goodness. Sometimes it’s hard to do a daily detox but if we don’t the space becomes messy and if we do we have space for more of His goodness! #detoxlife #detoxing #motivationmonday

The labels we put on ourselves, the labels we put on our kids or don’t put On our kids affect who they become! I want to acknowledge how they feel rather than tell them how they feel. I want to acknowledge who they are, rather than tell them who they are! I want to give them chance to speak and tell me what they love and hate, before I speak over them, or shout because they made a mess! I want to give them chance to explore! I want to encourage them to be who God made them to be rather than who I want them to be. And I want to be the mum God made me to be, rather than the one I imagine I am on my worst days!

My boy! Growing up to fast! #blondieboy

We celebrated Hina Matsuri (girls day) at my ex-coworkers house! She made a big effort, and I’m so happy since I am not good at celebrating this day! And Kara topped it off by finally wearing not one, but two dresses! Mummy was very happy! I also included some photos of the amazing digger and play house her husband made! Talented! #girlsday #hinamatsuri #march3

An end of an era today, I worked at this school for 7 years and Kara went here for 2 years as a preschool student! Now she graduates preschool to go to kindergarten! I’m so thankful for all the love and energy they have built into Kara! She grew up so much thanks to them! I can’t believe she will be going to kindergarten so soon! #sakurainternationalschool #tennoji awesometeachers
