To the tune of 'What are little girls made of?': What are mothers made of? What are mothers made of? Guilt and grace... Cotton and lace... Cupcakes and wine... All things divine... That's what mothers are made of! 1. Mundane Do you agree that mothers are masters of the mundane? Parenting experts say that babies and children thrive on routine.

Mothers Are…, Cymplified!
Being a mother makes me acquire a deeper appreciation for my own mom. When my children were sick, and their temperatures had to be kept down with frequent wiping using wet face towels & paracetamol, I remembered my mom who would come into my room whenever I am ill, with medicine & a glass of water even in the wee hours of the morning. When I am tutoring my children and helping them do their homework, I think of my mom's patience with me, although there were times that she got … [Read more...]
Easter Egg Hunt at Universal Studios Singapore, Cymplified!

Resurrect with Jesus on Easter, Cymplified!
Easter is like a new year for believers and followers of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!

Family Day Out: DreamPlay, Cymplified!
"It smells good in here!" Rix observed as we set foot in the City of Dreams, Manila. "I agree!" I replied. And it does! It's as if someone sprayed the whole "city" with expensive perfume. Except when you reach the casino area, where a whiff of cigarette could be inhaled. Well, we were not there to evaluate the odor quality of the place but to bring the kids to DreamPlay. According to www.cityofdreams.com.ph, DreamPlay is “a fully immersive, technology-rich entertainment space for the family.” … [Read more...]

Ella took advantage of the Disney TV shows for children. Don't know why, but I chose the movie Love, Rosie. Have you seen it? For me, it's a … [Read more...]
