It's still April. It's still my birthday month. It's a gift for me to feature a beautiful and inspiring woman in The Master and Her Piece. It’s an interview I do with women who inspire me and others to live and create better. I ask questions about their masterpieces or their works, their inspiration and ideas, their motivation, their challenges and their advice; to hopefully encourage my readers, too. Ruth Simons paints such beautiful flowers! That's the first reason why I noticed and … [Read more...]

Fabulous Freebies, Cymplified!
Note: This post contains affiliate links. I went on a downloading spree of pretty watercolor cliparts and special fonts. I confess that I have a collection of fonts, backgrounds and vector images on my laptop and hard drive. This is my reminder to clean them up. But, before I do, I added more because they're beautiful. Who knows? I might need them one day. That's how I justify it. Haha! And, they're free, so why not? :-) One of my go-to site for downloading images is Creative Market. Click … [Read more...]
Online Shopping with iprice, Cymplified!
How do you purchase the things that you need and want when you are a stay-at-home-mom with very young children, and it's very rare that you go out by yourself? And if you do, you limit your time so you could be home at the earliest chance possible? a. You ask your husband. b. You go online shopping. Most of the time I choose letter b.

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...]
