When I was much younger, I loved to compose poems. Especially ones that rhyme. I have the notebook to prove it. As I read it now, they seem childish and shallow. But, it felt great to create and create, even without showing them to anyone. I didn't need any approval. Recently, when I write poems or draw or paint using watercolor, these ideas do not flow as well as before. There's something hindering me from even starting and taking the first step. Probably myself or the doubt that it … [Read more...]

Parents’ Christmas, Cymplified!

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.
