@SteemitMamas Curation: Of Chickpea Curry, October, Cultivating Confidence, 4 O'clocky, 10 Random Things

Welcome to another @steemitmamas Curation of Awesome Mamas. So here we are on the other side of the HardFork. Probably the first time for many to experience an Upgrade which comes with its set of challenges. And thanks to that, most of us were on Pause, just waiting to understand and continue with the norm. From what I understand, we are on the better in the long run. But otherwise, everything seems almost exactly as it used to be. So let’s rock n roll. This week, we have stories about raising kids, gardening, the weather and more.

Routine makes habit. And before you know it, it’s something you do without giving it much thought or effort. @birttandjosie has started one routine, fouroclocky. But it is more than just starting a routine, there’s also a little tip on why she picks that hour. For this post, she shares her green apple experience with lots of pictures.

4 o’clocky, Green Apple Harvest by @brittandjosie

“I came up with the term 4 o'clocky and I thought this might be a great idea to make a blogpost every day at 4 o'clock local time with this title. Every day I’ll submit a blogpost about something that keeps me busy and is important enough to share so Lets blog on, here we go!” - @brittandjosie

Is Confidence Nature or Nurture. Some people are so comfortable in their own skin and unafraid to speak up. Can you help your child find their own voice without fear of other people’s judgement of them? @happycrazycon, a mother and teacher shares her experience with a student as well as her son. And breaks down ways of cultivating a child to be self-assured.

The Ability To Choose Powerfully Cultivates Confidence by @happycrazycon

“There is so much self-love (not selfishness) involved when a person can choose to be powerful even in a situation that may cause him or her to feel powerless. It is like "regardless how the situations may push me, I will decide from within and not be tossed to and fro". It cultivates confidence, definitely.” - @happycrazycon

Sometimes all we know is a name, a handle, a couple of posts that the author has written. Sometimes we don’t even know if the person is a man or a woman. @twodorks gives us all a chance to share a little bit. Call it an Introduce Yourself 2.0. This could be your chance to do what you wished you had done.

10 Random Things by @twodorks

“Remember the time when we barely started on Steemit, we did our first introductory post about ourselves and along the way we gained followers every now and then. But most of them didn't get the chance to read that post. So I came up with an idea how to catch up and keep the engagement within our community.” - @twodorks

Of course we have to have a food post. With a recipe included. And if you are vegan and love curries, this is going to be mouth watering. It is also simple, and most importantly made with a lot of love by @dalipops

Chickpeas In Coconut Curry Sauce by @dalipops

“This is a very simple and delicious dish. I have to admit that although I love curry, I never really enjoyed making it. I would always worry too much about following a recipe and somehow they never tuned out quite right. Until one day, I was in a rush to cook dinner, and decided to just wing it. I used all the flavors I love, added extra of what I liked and left out what I didn’t. I was amazed at how delicious it turned out. “ - @dalipops

Celebrations around the corner. Leaves are falling. And no surprise this is @thekitchenfairy’s favourite season. She has already decorated and if your guess is with pumpkins, you are absolutely right. She also shares some fun pictures of how her family got involved, and it may not have been voluntarily. This is a fun post.
