This is an official entry to Dainty Mom’s Bloggy Goodies Contest, in celebration of the Dainty Mom blog’s 2nd anniversary. Loving Mommyhood Ten years ago, I would never have envisioned myself as a wife and mother, and a stay-at-home one at that. I am not exactly domesticated, you know? I didn't really adore children and I am terrified of the pain childbirth brings. But here I am, with three babies and trying to be the best mommy that God wants me to be. So far, I find myself loving … [Read more...]
Being Needed, Cymplified!
I needed a break. I was getting cranky. I was getting stressed just thinking about the meals to plan for the week. I felt like snapping at the nanny. I was beginning to transform into the Hulk Mom. I couldn't help myself from saying "grr..." The youngest was crying for my attention and wanted to be carried all the time. I really should practice using the sling. The second wanted to be carried too. He also kept hugging my leg and pulling at my hand. The eldest kept asking me to draw nonstop. … [Read more...]
A, You’re Adorable, Cymplified!
I dedicate this song to my three adorable children! Whenever I look at their tiny faces, I feel like busting into this song. I thank God for them each day. I pray for their health each day. One of the things I love about being a mom is that I get genuineness from my kids. They sincerely adore me and are truly happy to see me. *sigh* The video below is funny, especially when Cookie Monster appeared. It's just so weird that a puppet has a girlfriend. A, you're adorable B, you're so … [Read more...]

Tangled, Cymplified!
I loved Tangled the first time I saw it! The cast was adorable, especially Maximus. I think that as more Disney princess movies were made, the princesses have more personality. The music for the part where Rapunzel and the townsfolk were dancing reminds me so much of an instrumental track in The Corrs' album. This led me to conclude that they might be Irish. Then again, I might be wrong. If you love Disney's Tangled, there's a cute blog about it, welovetangled.tumblr.com. The problem … [Read more...]
A Mother’s Heart {Filled with Love}, Cymplified!
Since it's still February, I'd like to talk more about love. Specifically, a mother's heart that is filled with love. My good friend gave me this book, Celebrate Mom, eons ago and it is only now that I started to read it. Remember how I sometimes feel about being a mom? I think this book is a lovely encouragement to me. The motherly love God has placed in my heart is comparable to His unconditional love. This is my affirmation that my calling is a special one. According to the book, a … [Read more...]
Embrace The Season, Cymplified!
Doubting... ...is how I find myself some days. And who wouldn't, when the children get sick? When my pre-schooler gets mad at me, and I am at a loss how to respond. When my one-year-old doesn't speak yet and I wonder why. When my baby cries and somehow I cannot seem to soothe her. Questions cloud my mind. Am I doing something wrong? Am I really cut out for motherhood? I would wonder why God gave me three children when I seem to be a terrible mom. One thing leads to another and … [Read more...]
