The Gift of an Ordinary Day, Cymplified!

November 10, 2019 by ceemee

Once upon a time, this blog was loosely based on finding blessings in the mundane and appreciating the gift of an ordinary day. In the year 2011, I was inspired by this video. My children were still very young then, and I think that one of the most ordinary things in life is a mother taking care of her children. I felt tired and I sorely lack sleep.   Recently, I found this book The Gift of an Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison, the author in the video, on a shelf of a kiosk that sells second-hand … [Read more...]

Mothers Hold It Together, Cymplified!

April 30, 2019 by ceemee

mothers hold it together like glue

When You See Mothers Hold It Together On Instagram, it might look like some mothers hold it together perfectly. They go traveling with their families to seemingly beautiful locations, they stroll down the mall and calmly shop. Other moms show their followers their fab finds, with their children smiling and looking like they enjoy what their moms bought them.  Some mommies even look like they get enough sleep and they look good & fit. Each lifestyle is different and I'd hate to compare. But … [Read more...]

Long, Long Night, Cymplified!

February 21, 2019 by ceemee

long, long night of a worried mom

What is worse than a long night of being sick, coughing and lying awake? It's a long night of my children taking ill; their foreheads, necks, backs and armpits hot with fever and their feet cold. Measuring out paracetamol for them to take every four hours. Sitting by them at the dining table, long after the meal was finished, to oversee them ingest every last drop of their antibiotics and other medicines. Here's another poem I wish to share. It's not an old one, I wrote it as a mother who … [Read more...]

Parents’ Christmas, Cymplified!

December 31, 2018 by ceemee

parent's Christmas filled with love

the parents' Christmas lists 'Twas the year before Christmas, and all through the world, plan-ahead parents are writing down potential gifts for their family and friends. The parents' Christmas translate to seemingly endless lists. A list of the gifts the mommy, the daddy and the children were given. Doing this gives them the idea of what to expect or the amount they could reciprocate in kind. Also, the past gifts that the family gave out, so there'd be no duplicate. I confess I do not do … [Read more...]

Keeping Up With Motherhood, Cymplified!

September 10, 2018 by ceemee

keeping up with motherhood

Confusion. Apprehension. Exhaustion. Whether I like it or not, those will always be a part of keeping up with motherhood and all the things that come with it. Even if I am in a season where the children are all in Elementary; and they have no need for milk and diaper changes every few hours, I still feel confused, apprehensive and exhausted. Tutoring three children make my head spin most of the time. I get confused about the schedules and the coverages of the quizzes; also regarding the … [Read more...]

appreciating daddy

Since it is still June, it's still Father's month, haha! A short but sweet post about appreciating daddy... And all the people (the moms, the siblings, the uncles, the aunties, the godfathers, etc.) who are like dads; giving guidance and sharing strength. To the dad who would not miss the birth of his child for work or for the world, who is there to ensure his newborn is well-taken care of right from the start. He is there when his wife is recovering... Providing her with everything she … [Read more...]

To The Mom Who Feels Judged, Cymplified!

May 13, 2018 by ceemee

To the mom who feels judged, you have courage

To the mom who thinks I am silently judging her: I’m sorry if I am staring. I know it’s rude. I teach my kids that it’s rude to stare. Most moms do. You someday might, or you might already have. I’m sorry for my furtive glances at your actions. I know you can feel my eyes on you when you feed your baby or wipe the sweat from his head. The expression on your face when you talk with your toddler. The smile that you give to your teenager. You might think I am concluding what kind of mom you … [Read more...]
