When my hubby and I got married, we didn't hire a wedding planner. We considered it, though. But after talking to one, we decided it was beyond our budget. Looking back, I wished we got one, even just the on-the-day package offered. There were things that happened in the reception that were cringe-worthy. But, I quite enjoyed the planning and the sourcing with my partner prior to our special day. It was like doing a project together. For those who are engaged, are about to plan their dream … [Read more...]
Love In The Little Moments Of Connection, Cymplified!
When To Hold On? When he reaches out, brushes your fingertips using his and takes hold of your hand across the table... When you catch her gazing at you over the large steaming cup of coffee cradled in her hands while she's about to take a sip... When he looks up from something he's working on and you glance at him at the same time, both of your eyes meet, then you smile a little and he grimaces a bit... When she smiles really big and her eyes seem to sparkle as you hand her one of … [Read more...]

The Golden Braid by Melanie Dickerson, Cymplified!
Guess which character the title refers to? :-D Confession: I still love fairytales! I still look forward to Disney releases of princess stories. I still like reading books about royalty. If I could get away with wearing long billowing dresses, I would! The Golden Braid... is a retelling of the story of Rapunzel. I watched Disney's Tangled so I kept picturing Gothel like the one in the animated movie, clever and crazy, dark and dangerous. It's really a miracle that Rapunzel grew up as a … [Read more...]

Among The Fair Magnolias, Cymplified!
Having four novellas in one book is like getting a sweet buy-one-free-one deal at my favorite store. I'm happy to have requested Among The Fair Magnolias from BookLook. I'm even happier to read it as I love the great quality of the four authors' writing. A Heart So True by Dorothy Love Even if this story is short, simple and took place in a span of a few days and then a couple of months after, I get the chance to know the personalities of the characters, which is wonderful. They are real: with … [Read more...]
