Mother’s Day {2013}, Cymplified!

May 14, 2013 by ceemee

motherhood musings

May 12 was Mother's Day and it got me thinking about... well, motherhood! Unexpectedly, I became a mom, thrice. But, that's the natural course of life after getting married and deciding to start a family, right? I should have known what to expect. Yet, nothing could have prepared me for the ever evolving and very challenging role of a mother. One minute I think I have gotten diaper-changing down pat, the next found me training the children to use the potty. I have long accepted that I … [Read more...]

End Of A (Breastfeeding) Journey, Cymplified!

April 27, 2013 by ceemee

Rivers of tears were flowing from her eyes and heart, at three in the morning. The baby in her arms was begging for breastmilk, crying and squirming. The only comfort they both knew, was taken away by the need for medication. She wished that for weaning a baby off breastfeeding, there was also education. Her chest was wrung and constricted with guilt and great sadness. The end of their journey was just beginning and already she felt helpless. Inhaling deeply, she said to herself, "This would … [Read more...]

Confidence, Cymplified!

March 22, 2013 by ceemee

For me, confidence is a destination that needed to be journeyed to. There may be some people who were born with confidence, but I am not one of them. How can I say that I am not confident? Feelings of insecurity and self-doubt were surfacing. I kept second-guessing myself and my decisions. I was uncertain about what I really, really like or want. I believed that I was mediocre in comparison to others who are more intelligent, more talented and have more things in their possession. I was always … [Read more...]

Brave Movie, Cymplified!

February 26, 2013 by ceemee

brave movie merida

This movie had touched something deep inside me. Mainly because it's about the relationship of a mother and a daughter. I can empathize with the way Elinor felt after Merida stormed out of the room when they were fighting. Like Elinor, I treat Elle harshly when in anger, one too many times. :-( Like Elinor, I regret what I did, regret how the situation got out of hand, regret how nothing was resolved. Like Elinor, I cry, consumed with guilt and worry. Brave movie is a reminder for me … [Read more...]

Birth Story Number Two, Cymplified!

February 17, 2013 by ceemee

Dear Caleb, Mommy's dear funny baby boy, how mischievous and assertive you now are. In true blue boy fashion, you like wheeled vehicles, airplanes, mock fighting, wrestling, balls and monster or wild animal sounds. Sometimes, you're interested in your sisters' toys and that's okay. The fascination doesn't last long. You are a tall boy, yet mommy must not forget you're still a baby at two and a half years old.

Encourage Our Children, Cymplified!

January 30, 2013 by ceemee

motherhood musings

We, as mothers, want to encourage our children, right? We want their beautiful and unique personalities to shine, exactly how God had made them. Yet, there just are most some days when my 5-year-old Elle and I seem to have a power struggle. I would see the fiery defiance in her eyes and feel that I have failed somehow as a mother. It just is super challenging to guide her to be a responsible person, without dampening her creative spirit. The responsibility of parenting is so overwhelming … [Read more...]
