✨ MOTHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY ✨

Another season to celebrate mums ❤️

Amazing, strong, and passionate women who give so much of themselves to their children…
Always thinking about what is best for them, and often forgetting about themselves.
And so often, they are the ones behind the camera.
Capturing every moment… but not being in it. That's why I'm so happy to collaborate with Madhu from Ijos moments on this giveaway! 😍

Thank you 2025! You were good to me.

And I like this idea to keep this memory here, especially living in a country with no seasons where I have no idea when things happened 🙈 ( I just spoke to someone saying that workshop with Junnifa was a few months ago, but it is almost a year!!!!)

Also, I hope I showed you that though it was good it was far from perfect. There were many difficulties and learning lessons, a lot of sick kids and parents too (eg. on my dream trip to AU I had a tonsillitis and it was pretty bad for couple of days). I had many failures with my company (playgroups that didn't happen, strategies that were so bad and frustrating) but my biggest take away is that I learnt to accept it and still move forward.

I'm grateful for this community here, thank you for joining me on this journey through Montessori, parenting, mompreneurship and everything else. You are the best. Love you!

I'm excited to see what will 2026 bring.

Hi friends 👋
I’m sharing this list of toy ideas from IKEA – easy to access and mostly really budget-friendly. The plastic stacking toy has been a big hit with both of my children for many years – perfect for sand, water play, or keeping little hands busy while we wait at a café. The train set is another long-lasting favourite. I love the quality and simplicity of these toys: by being “passive,” they invite children to be active, creative, and deeply engaged. I hope this list helps you choose a few keepers for your home. 🎄✨

Every parent knows the moment: the melting child, the overwhelming feeling, the urge to just say “fine, take it.”
But staying steady and following through isn’t mean. It’s supportive.
It teaches kids they can do hard things, even with big feelings, because we’re right there guiding them.
