Well, I’m feeling incredibly blessed this week, with lots of things making me smile. Here goes:
- Holly asked if she could one day wear the dress that’s in all the photos on our walls (aka wedding dress). I said: “Of course you can. You can wear that when you get married”. Her response: “Oh no, I want to wear my witches outfit for that”. Yes, of course you do.
- I launched into module 1 of Fearless Business Blogging last week and am all ready for module 2. What I didn’t tell everyone in the first live call was that I hadn’t quite made it to the bathroom before our call, so was still in my nightie. This is taking the term `pyjama workforce’ literally!
- Julian took a speed hump a little too quickly in the car last weekend, causing quite a jolt. Holly (in the backseat): “OH, JEEEEESSSSUUUUSSSS”. Ah dear. She starts Catholic kindy next year. Out loud, Julian wondered where she gets it from. Ella (also in the backseat): “You Dad”. Yup!
- One of Ella’s Grade 1 homework tasks for this week was to meditate. Some lovely entrepreneurs have pointed me in the direction of Smiling Minds – and, oh my goodness, she loves it! We may just have found ourselves a new nightly ritual!

This post made me smile. Kids say the funniest and naughtiest things. This week my four year old told me that her sister could say ‘b*gger’ and she could say ‘sh*t’ because she was the older sister. I told both of them they could say neither!! I’ve never heard about meditation for kids. I don’t do it myself. Maybe I should but I have too many thoughts running through my mind. I hope you have a great week Kellie. 🙂
Hehe!! They are hilarious, Bec. This is why we have kids – highly entertaining. LOL! 😉
Oh, I’m completely with you on having too many thoughts running through my head. I find guided meditations (where someone talks to you, while you breathe and listen) far better. I’ve tried the `sit there and think about nothing’ thing and it’s a real challenge for me. 🙂
Loved this post: kids are fantastic at that age. And I’m not showing the post to Mr Jolly (aka Mr Grumpy)otherwise there’d be some clever quip about whatever I wear is a witches outfit…
I’m not much of a meditator – my quiet/reflection time is out on the run. But I AM trying to get my kids (who are a lot older than yours) to watch a few inspirational TED talks. It’s inspired me to watch a few more, too 😉
Aww, your man sounds like mine! 😉
I think having quiet time while running is good too. Anything that allows you to switch off your brain for a bit.
I love that you’re getting your kids to watch TED talks. What an awesome thing to do. I love that!
Loved this post, Kellie. Kids are fabulous at the age your daughter is now. I have to tell you, though, I’m not showing it to my hubby (Mr Jolly aka Mr Grumpy). There’d only be some smart comment that in my case whatever I got married in would class as a witches outfit….
In terms of meditating, I’m not really great at making time for that. But I do use my running time to reflect. And as I’m not really a role model for meditation, I’m trying to get my kids – particularly my teenage girls – to watch some inspirational TED talks and then reflect on those… Fingers crossed they’ll actually reflect and realise it’s important things their mum wants to say to them. Except it’s obviously too cringeworthy for your very own mum to say those things 😉
LOL! I just read your extra comment at the end, Jo. That’s hilarious!
