The book fair started it! With one of the books from Heroes of Olympus series. My eldest kid had an aversion to novels... Basically books without pictures, because, she found it boring. I sort of gave up on trying to get her to read books such as Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. Then, I bought books at my children's school's book fair. It's by Scholastic. I got a free book as part of a promotion. The title was The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan. Even if the price points at the book fair were … [Read more...]
Book & Borders Café, Cymplified!
Book & The Introvert in me is super curious about the Book & Borders Café. I love the idea of reading a book, while sipping coffee in a quiet and cozy corner! It's one of my me-time dreams. I appreciate the chance to visit the newly opened Book & Borders Café on Banawe St. in Quezon City. It was my hubby who saw it and told me to wait there. He probably remembered all the times I gushed about books and coffee. Upon entering, I made a beeline for the shelves that held various books … [Read more...]
Keeping Up With Motherhood, Cymplified!
Confusion. Apprehension. Exhaustion. Whether I like it or not, those will always be a part of keeping up with motherhood and all the things that come with it. Even if I am in a season where the children are all in Elementary; and they have no need for milk and diaper changes every few hours, I still feel confused, apprehensive and exhausted. Tutoring three children make my head spin most of the time. I get confused about the schedules and the coverages of the quizzes; also regarding the … [Read more...]
Guest Post: Protection For The Little Gymnast, Cymplified!
There was one time my youngest child was interested in gymnastics. I couldn't let her tumble on our hard tiled floor. The children have a play mat which she could use, but for me, it's still too hard for her body. The bed was her only option. If she's really serious about it, we could maybe invest in an Airtrack equipment. We need protection for the little gymnast. The advertorial guest post below shall tell us more about it. Children and Gymnastics Gymnastics can be regarded as a … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Sweat It Out At Okada Play, Cymplified!
Summer vacation means bored children at home. I have joined the horde of parents who want their children to avoid using the gadgets for hours and hours. These devices are addicting and children have a hard time controlling themselves. If they are to use their eyes for something, I would rather they read books. My eldest, Ella, said that reading books without illustrations or pictures is boring... Until, she read Rick Riordan's The Heroes of Olympus series. She finished the five books this … [Read more...]
Appreciating Daddy, Cymplified!
Since it is still June, it's still Father's month, haha! A short but sweet post about appreciating daddy... And all the people (the moms, the siblings, the uncles, the aunties, the godfathers, etc.) who are like dads; giving guidance and sharing strength. To the dad who would not miss the birth of his child for work or for the world, who is there to ensure his newborn is well-taken care of right from the start. He is there when his wife is recovering... Providing her with everything she … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: KidZania Manila, Cymplified!
Kai! :-D That's how they greet people in KidZania Manila. At last! We got to experience KidZania just last year. It's the popular kids' play place that hit the Philippines in 2015. We bought a voucher from Metrodeal to get ticket discount for five people. Will the children enjoy? That was our first concern. That's why we didn't first get a passport yet. After trying out some establishments in the morning, we headed to the Pazzport Office to fill out forms, fall in line, pay and have the kids' … [Read more...]
