the parents' Christmas lists 'Twas the year before Christmas, and all through the world, plan-ahead parents are writing down potential gifts for their family and friends. The parents' Christmas translate to seemingly endless lists. A list of the gifts the mommy, the daddy and the children were given. Doing this gives them the idea of what to expect or the amount they could reciprocate in kind. Also, the past gifts that the family gave out, so there'd be no duplicate. I confess I do not do … [Read more...]
Family Getaway: Romantic Hillcreek Gardens Tagaytay, Cymplified!
The first reason I snapped up a deal for an overnight stay in Hillcreek Gardens Tagaytay on Deal Grocer is because the room offered has two queen-size beds, perfect for our family of five... As of now. While the three of them could still fit in one bed. The second is, I wanted a beautiful place for our wedding anniversary getaway. Hillcreek Gardens just screams romance! It's a wedding venue after all. There was even a garden wedding ceremony on the day we checked in. Third reason is the … [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...]
