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...]
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...]
Exploring Tagaytay With Children, Cymplified!
On Family Getaways When going on family getaways, my husband and I make sure they're fun and somewhat educational for the kids. It's one of the ways that we can bond with each other and with the little ones. Another perk is that we get to see, experience and learn about a different city or province. It's wonderful! Being four years old and above, they could still remember their adventures and talk about them for months. Hence, looking at photos could trigger memories. We have … [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...]
Family Getaway: Why I Like Traveling with Children 4 to 9 Years Old, Cymplified!
My family and I recently came from a trip to Tagaytay. It was a last-minute getaway. I just packed the morning before leaving! Thankfully, we still got a room at Taal Vista Hotel. Even so, family getaways always excite me. When they were still babies, though, excursions like this need a list first of all. Impromptu ones? A no-no! I would have preferred to stay home than lug the whole nursery to the beach. Think of all the onesies, diapers, burp cloths, towels, bottles, bottle sterilizer, … [Read more...]
Nutella Milkshake For The Lazy, Cymplified!
Too lazy to take out your blender? Too lazy to write the recipe? That's me! However, I wanted to make this yummy Nutella Milkshake for the kids and me. This was the result. A doodled recipe! I watched the video on Facebook and drew it down. Who could resist Nutella, right? Not my children, that's for sure! Here were two of the ingredients. The shaking definitely exercised my arm muscles! Mixing super thick vanilla ice cream? It was a challenge, hence the lumpy texture. So, … [Read more...]
