It's as if I went on an intentional blog hiatus. Already, words and stories are building up inside my head, waiting to burst out through my fingertips. Press play on April In reality, there was a problem with my blog for days. Then, April rolled in and I became occupied packing for our family's annual trip. All the while, taking our youngest to her ballet classes at Ballet Manila... And getting back to good health and shape with the hubby. Learning ballet. #summer2017 … [Read more...]
Nickerbacher Chapter Book by Terry John Barto, Cymplified!
I first read the story of Nickerbacher, the funniest dragon as a picture book. It was a pleasant surprise to learn about the new Nickerbacher chapter book. At first, I thought it's a continuation of the picture book. Consequently, I realized that it's kind of an expanded version. There were still pictures; but the story was more in-depth. If you happen to be a dragon and you happen to want to be a comedian, then this book is for you! Seriously, this is a nice read for children who can handle … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Quezon Memorial Circle, Cymplified!
Quezon Memorial Circle Several families had the same idea as ours. That is to bring the kids to Quezon Memorial Circle on Sunday. The last time I went there, my hubby and I bought plants for his hydroponic garden. The first time I went there was on a date with him as a boyfriend. We bought a pack of chicharon that had human-like hairs. 8-O It's surprising to learn of the many activities families could enjoy inside. This link take you to a closer look at the place. Who knew that this … [Read more...]
It’s Not Fair by Melanie Dale, Cymplified!
"It's not fair!" It's been whined countless times by children. Grown-ups are more careful saying this in order for them to seem mature. But, deep down inside, all of us have a desire to scream it out when unfortunate things happen to us. Usually, we scream it at God. "God, why is her husband sweeter? It's not fair!" "God, why don't I have a lovely home? It's not fair!" "God, why are my dreams not coming true? It's not fair!" It's Not Fair by Melanie Dale promised to be a friend, a … [Read more...]
Make The Starbucks Planner My Own, Cymplified!
How is your January coming along? I was excited to use my new planner when the clock struck 12 on the 1st of January. By this time, I have an idea of how to make the Starbucks planner my own. A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on Dec 31, 2016 at 8:29am PST After using the Mommy Blogberry, the Momme and the Mommy Mundo Mom 24/7 planners (in no particular order), for sure the Starbucks planner is not super detailed. Yet, since 2015, I went back to using it for some reason. … [Read more...]
Playing Dress-Up Last October, Cymplified!
I think that playing dress-up is innate in every child; most of them wouldn't hesitate to don wings or capes. Is it their idea of fun or they just want to escape reality for a while? I read somewhere that children have things figured out. I would add that they could get away with it, too! That's how my kids are. I remember my boy wearing my Ugg boots, an upside-down Jollibee bucket as his helmet and a sword in his hand. Here is my youngest, dressing up as a princess, then a … [Read more...]
When Mountains Move by Julie Cantrell, Cymplified!
When Mountains Move by Julie Cantrell started with a milestone: marriage. It should be an exciting and happy beginning for Millie and Bump. Right? Yet with a horrific past and secrets, I began to share Millie's burden. Thus, I do not quite find the book entertaining or spiritually inspiring. It also started to become a slow read. There were times I wished that I'd reach the end of the story already. The author wrote down every little action in every conversation. Details are good, however, … [Read more...]
