Almost all moms become frustrated when it happens. They were doing everything according to the doctors', their friends', other moms', online articles' recommendations on feeding their children. Naturally, it comes as a surprise when some kids will suddenly reject food that they were gobbling up just days before. It's even more of a surprise when I say that there's hope for picky eaters. I have picky eaters. When my babies reached six months, I made baby food for them. I pureed pumpkin, … [Read more...]
Autumn in South Africa, Cymplified!
South Africa Although the lion and the elephant are two of my favorite animals, it's one country that I never imagined myself going. But, I am glad I grabbed the opportunity, despite the hindrances. Like the airport accidents going to South Africa and coming home. I'll gladly tell you about those incidents if you send me a message. :-) Traveling makes me realize that we are foreigners in other countries but we are all citizens of the same world. Because we all live on the same Earth, … [Read more...]
July Birthdays, Cymplified!
July birthdays this year are sentimental for me. The idea of celebrations excite me, yet knowing that two of my children will be older, tugs at my heart.

Personal Trainers In The Pocket, Cymplified!

Each morning my weight resets. Now that I am in my mid 30's, the lbs. are taking up permanent residency and are difficult to evict. My … [Read more...]

Inter-May-ssion {What’s That Word?}, Cymplified!
What is inter-May-ssion? I remember saying, in my previous post, that I wish I could press pause on May. It may look like I did because this blog was quiet for the whole month of May. There was a long inter-May-ssion. See what I did there? :-D What happened? Well... Cray-cray May! When May came in, our helper went out and had a two-week vacation. Hubby and I teamed up for the household chores. The littlest one's ballet classes were still ongoing. Nobody's going to stay at home with the … [Read more...]
