My wish is that my children will live out kindness. As a follower of Jesus, I need to be a good role model of kindness for them. We must be kind to other people and to our environment, all of which are God's creations. With kindness comes gentleness. Being gentle to people and their feelings, being gentle to plants and animals show our kindness. We can learn how to be gentle from God's example. God leads in His gentleness. These are the ways that God directs me: Through His Word Psalm … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Cliffhouse, Tagaytay, Cymplified!
For a city-dweller like me, there is a need to escape the smog and noise. One of the places I like to go to that is a bit near, has fresh air and cool weather is Tagaytay. The places I have visited in Tagaytay are Tagaytay Highlands, Canyon Woods, Palace in the Sky, People's Park, Picnic Grove, Sky Ranch, a little of Summit Ridge and Mushroomburger. Honestly, I don't know whether People's Park is the Palace in the Sky or the Picnic Grove. What do you think? Cliffhouse, Tagaytay I have read … [Read more...]
Faithfulness, Cymplified!
One of the characteristics of God that assures me of His unceasing love is that He's faithful. Because of this, I can be strong in the Lord. My strength comes from God and not from my abilities. When I allow God to strengthen me, He freely demonstrates that He is faithful to me. Hebrews 10: 23, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.", tells me that God is faithful. I can see faithfulness in God's creation, in nature, as the sun … [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...]
Now 7, Cymplified!
Some families celebrate their children's seventh birthday in a grand manner. I never quite understood why, maybe I probably never will. That's why, it was as simple as ever in our home when my eldest, Ella, turned seven. Well, usually we make do with store-bought cakes. But, this time, I wanted to try custom cakes from a local baker. She and I went over the designs I wanted, especially ones that have rainbows and ponies on them. This was the outcome of the customized pony and rainbow cake made … [Read more...]
Ogalala System In Play, Cymplified!
As I have mentioned in my previous post - Two Kids in School, my little boy, Caleb, is a very playful one. It just dawned on me that that's how he learns, through playing. That is why I look forward to attending because I wish to learn about more ways to teach Caleb concepts while playing. I was also excited to gather tips on using his existing toys as educational tools. Having three children strongly affirms the fact that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace. Ogalala System … [Read more...]
