In the "Golden Enchanted Forest"! #children #art A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on Mar 16, 2015 at 9:52am PDT In the Golden Enchanted Forest, the animals are always happy. Although they are different from each other, they live harmoniously. They have all that they need; plenty of space, sunshine, water and food. They are blessed with an environment that is beautiful and good. The trees make great shelters, they are all healthy and sturdy. Their leaves look like unique crowns, they … [Read more...]
Where God Is, Cymplified!
There will be trials. There will be tribulation. There will be sorrow. There will be separation. Now, with the ugly There'll come the bad. And you're wont to ask, "Where is God? Does he look away When my life's amiss?" To you, my friend I tell you this: He is in each tear that slides down each cheek, When wounds are raw and the horizon looks bleak. He's in each smile of the children, each twinkle in each eye, While running on the grass and swinging under the blue sky. He's in … [Read more...]
One Statement Instead Of One Word, Cymplified!
Happy new year! How's your 2015 so far? It's that time again for resolutions, goals, and that one word of guidance. I had my "one word" for the past two years. Technically, that makes it two words, right? They were shine and freedom. Both helped me become more intentional in parenting and in the way I want to live. Purge Before 2014 ended, I was already thinking about my one word. What will it be? My freedom was not yet achieved in the aspect of clutter of the home and of … [Read more...]
Kindergarten, Cymplified!
Last school year, Ella graduated from Kindergarten. It signaled the end of her preschool years. We might think that Kindergarten is all fun and games, just playing and singing. But, surprisingly, it's not. Believe it or not, Kindergarten gave my eldest a little taste of the real world. And it's not just more assigned tasks to work on. Ella likes to draw, My Little Pony characters specifically. Naturally, she does that in school during breaks or dismissal. One of her … [Read more...]
Rediscovering The Blogging Mojo In 5 Weird Ways, Cymplified!
When fear comes crippling, And doubt comes stifling. Ideas rush to my head, But won't flow to my pen. The questions are crippling. The what-ifs are stifling. I write my heart out, Yet nobody's come reading. When blogging's disheartening, When writing's discouraging, When I cannot help but To others myself comparing. Where is the light? How should I write? I have stories to tell, But my voice I cannot find. There comes a point in any journey that we undertake, blogging included, … [Read more...]
Kids’ Handiwork: Cardboard Castle
Last two Sundays ago, my eldest told me, out of the blue, that she wanted to make a castle, using cardboard. I admit I'm not a very crafty person. In fact, I'm all thumbs when it comes to cutting, pasting or sewing! But, of course I don't want to say 'no.' So I "enlisted" the help of YouTube and wikiHow to aid us in making a haven of sorts for her My Little Pony figures and others. Here's one of the kids' handiwork: a cardboard castle. I will post the links to the tutorials for simple … [Read more...]
Made by Raffi by Craig Pomranz and Margaret Chamberlain, Cymplified!
Little girls should play with dolls and like the color pink. Little boys should play with cars and like the color blue. Is that what society dictates us to follow? If we don't, are we outcasts? Taboo? Abnormal? With my children, I am trying to do away with stereotypes and labeling. I don't consider it unladylike of my eldest to dream of being a scientist and to watch videos studying dinosaurs. I didn't make a big deal when my son got curious about Barbie dolls. They're free to explore and to … [Read more...]
