Walkin the talk!

On Saturday, I was so honoured to meet to many Sydney Sunny Mummies over at Allies Attic at Cronulla.

The common response upon meeting me was "Oh wow, you really are Sunny"...

This was such a compliment for me because what you see, is what you get!

However, this weekend was pretty full on and not only did I sleep through my 4.55am 'Good Morning Sunshine' alarm on Saturday, every time I got in the car, I fell asleep! The GM was driving of course, so don't picture me falling asleep at the wheel!

Last night, the GM started to talk to me after I had flopped into bed and was hardly listening...until I heard some words that broke a tiny piece of my heart off....

You see on Saturday, the GM being the GM, packed the car up for me, drove me to Cronulla, helped unpack my stock and then happily took the kids off to the beach for the day.

Whilst there, my GM tells me Sonshine said the following...

"I wish Mum didn't have a business, then she would be with us today having fun instead of working". Apparently Starshine then piped in with "Yeah, and I wish she didn't have a computer!"

:(

Now don't get me wrong, kids need to know that Mummies and Daddies work; and have a life outside of being their parents, however, these words stung like a bee because when combined with falling asleep at the drop of a hat, my own advice hit me straight in the face!

You see, in my quest to help rid motherhood of negativity and support other mummies to SHINE, there is a {possibility} that over the past couple of weeks, this Sunny Mummy has allowed herself to lose a little of her own shininess...

To my kiddies, I am their sunshine and I need to make sure I too, keep the main thing...the main thing!

I don't want my kiddies resenting the very thing that was created to support Mummies to SHINE if their own Mummy is NOT.

So what is all this about?

It is about me continuing to 'walk the talk'....

HOW?

By continuing to look after myself first, in order to look after my family best of course!

Its not that I haven't been doing this, its just that Sunny Mummy is growing FAST and I have been trying to fit it ALL in.

I know I cant, but it hasn't stopped me trying ;)

Hearing those words from my kiddies and being so tired the minute I stop, means I won't be trying to FIT IT ALL in anymore and this week, you won't see me around much...

Not only will I be celebrating 10 yrs of marriage with my GM later in the week,
I will be taking the time to tweak the old routine to evenly spread the rays.

I want to continue to 'walk the talk' and be the best woman, wife, mummy and leader of an amazing group of women SHINING and choosing to be SUNNY!

Our little positive motherhood movement is FAST growing Sunnies, so buckle up and prepare to enjoy the ride even more!

I shall be back soon to let you all know how I intend to keep the main thing...
THE MAIN THING!

Keep Shining,
