This is my Momme Planner. I was giddy with excitement upon receiving it. I ordered it through my college block mate but my kind hubby paid for it. Yay! I chose the Exotic Platinum French Pochette because it's a limited edition, plus the shine and texture adds character. Lucky me, I got the last one. :-) I can imagine myself going out with my gal pals with just this and my iPhone. It would make a nice "clutch", right? Too bad my chubby Parker pen couldn't fit into the pen holder, so … [Read more...]
Christmas Tree {2011}, Cymplified!
Our Christmas tree is up! It really does help to work around a theme when putting up the decor. I was inspired by Jenni's post and came up with a way to explain our tree's decorative elements. It was a challenge since I had to use our old decor and some that were given by Rix's friend a couple of years back. Hope it makes sense! Something seems to be missing when I look at the whole tree. I remarked this to Rix and without missing a heartbeat, he answered, "Gifts." Yeah. I'll be … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving {2011}, Cymplified!
Another occasion significant and popular in the United States that we don't celebrate here in the Philippines is Thanksgiving. An image of a turkey comes to my mind when I hear the word. Being thankful should be on a daily basis. It is after all part of a Christian's everyday prayer. If I remember correctly, my prayer must follow this acronym as a format: A - doration C - onfession T - hanksgiving S - upplication The people and things that I need, the things that I sometimes … [Read more...]
Mommy Treats, Cymplified!
I'm glad I got to experience Mommy Treats. Thank you, Ms. Paola for sponsoring a game in the baby shower at Medela House. I got to sample a week's supply of bite-sized cookies and muffins. I have to say they were yummy! I wasn't turned off by the supposed to be bitter aftertaste, which I found the strongest in the chocolate muffins. My favorite was the banana walnut flavor. When I felt a dip in my milk supply two weeks prior to this day, I ordered another week's supply of lactation treats. Of … [Read more...]
Halloween {2011}, Cymplified!
I cannot remember when commercialized Halloween and Trick-or-Treating started here in the Philippines. Thanks to @momblogger for the enlightening post. I have never donned a costume and went house-hopping asking for candies, I had only seen it done in movies. Why do people celebrate it anyway? If it's supposed to be about the dead and scary stuff, why do people say "happy" Halloween? Having been in a Christian school, it was never encouraged. I think it also depended on my parents and the … [Read more...]
Breast Cancer Awareness, Cymplified!
This month, I am very aware of my breasts because I am breastfeeding my third baby. I haven't realized how much "beating" they were taking until now, when the tips are tender and a little sore. This is especially evident for me when I dry myself with a towel, extra care is needed not to hit my "girls", which is so darn hard! This is one of the reasons I am having a bit of second thoughts on breastfeeding. I have to admit, it is a difficult endeavor and it takes a lot of willpower to go on. This … [Read more...]
Pro-Lacta Malunggay Capsule, Cymplified!
With my resolve to exclusively breastfeed my third baby, I need all the help I could get. One of them is the supplement that I take along with malunggay leaves cooked in soup (I have this almost every meal) and yummy Mommy Treats. Lots of water, too, to keep me hydrated. As I have mentioned in this post, I won 2 small boxes of Pro-Lacta Malunggay lactation supplement. I think it is helpful in maintaining my milk supply. Pro-Lacta usually is part of the sponsors of mommy and breastfeeding … [Read more...]
