About the book: Most parenting approaches end up encouraging children to ask the wrong questions about life: What’s in it for me? Are you going to pay me for that? What’s the minimum I need to do to get by? But God’s Word gives us a better way to parent, one that builds strong internal motivation in children. When parents change the way they parent, kids change the way they live. This practical book explores a theology of internal motivation and then gives parents real-life solutions to … [Read more...]
The Royal Palm by Mrs. D, Cymplified!
The Royal Palm is the second book that I got to review from the book blast I participated in that was hosted by Mother Daughter Book Reviews. What is this book about? A thought-provoking tale of the journey of a royal palm born on a tiny island surrounded by mysterious waters. This tender story explores the world of someone wrapped up in herself. Protected by her cousins, the short plain palms, the royal palm grew up beautiful, but very self-centered. Dreaming about life outside the … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Fun Farm at Sta. Elena, Cymplified!
My wish to visit this Fun Farm at Sta. Elena in Laguna came true when we headed to the South one day. I thought it would be fun to let the children experience being outdoors and on a farm. They like animals. Never mind that there were carabao dung piles scattered about, it's quite fun and funny for them, actually. My kids, they laugh at even mere mention of poop! Our first stop was the bunny and guinea pig feeding area. The fluffy creatures were so adorable! I missed my pet rabbits. There was … [Read more...]
Replacing Complaints With Thankfulness, Cymplified!
She sat on their leather sofa and placed her head on the arm rest. When she was younger, she used to daydream, a lot! Nowadays, just a few minutes of being seated, staring into space, letting random thoughts rush through her brain was becoming quite the luxury. Her eyes moved to the plates with cookies, croissants and a pie. There were toppled plastic cups, a kettle and several vegetables. All of these were scattered on the floor, next to the white and violet dollhouse where they belong. The … [Read more...]
Runaway Clothes by Mrs. D, Cymplified!
This is one of the books written by Mrs. D, which I got to review as part of the book blast that I have joined. Here again is the summary of Runaway Clothes: An enlightening story about a little girl named Nika who didn't want to take care of her clothes and toys. One hazy morning when Nika opened her closet, she discovered that it was empty. Her clothes had disappeared! What had happened to her shirts and pants? Where did her favorite dresses, coats, and socks go? Why did they leave her … [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...]
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...]
