Introducing.. Dee!

Hi, hello, hey there!

Welcome to Dee: The Mama Blog!

Just a quick explanation to the blog name.. Well..

Hi.

My name is Dee... and I'm a mother. Very simple, right? lol

I'm a mother of 2 to be specific: a 3 year old and 1 (soon to be 2) year old.
My 3 year old is very animated, active and cheeky.. his newest venture is nursery! He has a speech delay and is undertaking speech and language therapy.
My 1 year old is HILARIOUS, also very animated, very caring, and very observant. He has a truckload of food allergies.. and walked at 17 months.
You'll hear more about them. lol.

Expect to see a lot of good content on the blog-- I'll share my views and experiences as a mother, encouraging posts, positive vibes, a lot of transparent posts about real things that mothers go through but can't really talk about...

Yeah.

I've been out of blogging for some time but I thought it was time to revamp and start afresh.

So, yeah... keep your eyes peeled!

Thoughtful Thursday: "You're a big boy now"

-
So... with Matthew turning 3, I've had to start implementing the phrase, "You're a big boy now", when it comes to certain things that are considered baby-ish; or to kind of enforce independence.. So a prime example is.. he is very used to sitting on my lap. I don't want to stop it, but when we are in particular places, like on the bus, or places where he can sit down; I'm trying to enforce that.  He's still small and cute so sometimes I even forget and just put him on my lap-- but then I later realize that he is getting heavy! lol I'm starting (well kind of), to encourage him to eat on his own. But he's already shown me inklings that he wants to. He will literally take the spoon from me and start feeding himself. So now I'll go 'You're a big boy now, you have to eat at the table." He was reluctant at first, but when he saw his brother eating, he was encouraged. lol. He has his moments when he wants me to feed him, but it's a gr...

Transparency Tuesday: More understanding

-
When I was growing up, I think my mother didn't take time to actually understand what kind of child/person I was. My mother was born and bred in Ghana; and moved to the UK. So obviously, her culture is heavily African. My mother was very loving and supportive, don't get me wrong, but I can remember my mum used to talk for me whenever someone was talking to me directly, so I wouldn't get to speak up for myself... and anytime I would want to talk to her, I would get a 'Don't worry, don't worry' and get shunned. So this in turn made me a shy child. Now after having kids of my own, I can understand why she did certain things-- she probably thought she was protecting me to an extent. Because obviously... when your child starts asking you questions... you don't actually want to answer them.. you don't want them knowing certain things so early! It's an abomination! But... in this time we're in now.. the children are developing at such a fast rate......

Thoughtful Thursday: My word for the year

-
Thanks to another mama on Instagram (theprettygirlsguide, check her out); I've decided to have a word to round up my year. My word is: Mindful So there are goals I have set for myself and my kids this year.. and I need to make sure I'm mindful in all aspects of fulfilling them. Being mindful of my intentions, my actions, learning, lessons.. everything. This word stood out for me when I saw the post by theprettygirlsguide and I just went, "Yep, that's my word". I've never actually chosen a word to focus on for the year-- so hopefully by doing this I'll be more determined to do what I need to do... I'm being more mindful about what I speak into existence I'm being more mindful about my thoughts and my attitude  I'm being more mindful about what I teach my kids and how I deal with them I'm being more mindful towards myself.. self care.. and what I want to achieve For me... mindfulness is an inside work and it will work it's way out. What ...
