Learn more about me and my blog.

Hi, I’m Cyril Montanes!

Hey there! 🥰

Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet! I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you stumbled upon my blog out of curiosity, inspiration, or a love for all things creative, your presence means the world to me. 💖

I’m Cy (pronounced like “sigh” 🥰), a proud Filipina born and raised in the heart of the Philippines. Growing up surrounded by a vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and the warmth of family and community has shaped how I see the world—and I’m thrilled to share a slice of that with you.

On this blog, you’ll find a heartfelt celebration of the Philippines. From exploring our rich traditions and languages to savoring the most mouthwatering dishes, every post is crafted to bring you closer to the heart of Filipino life. Whether you’re here to reconnect with your roots, learn something new, or enjoy the beauty of our culture, there’s plenty to discover.

But this space is more than just a love letter to my homeland—it also reflects my journey as a mom, homeschooler, and follower of Christ. I share life lessons on motherhood and homeschooling, the joys and challenges of nurturing a family, and the faith that keeps me grounded. If you’re navigating similar paths, you’ll find inspiration, tips, and encouragement to help you thrive.

And because creativity is the heartbeat of everything I do, you’ll also find my art and designs sprinkled throughout this space and in my Zazzle shop. From vintage-inspired planners to whimsical gifts and prints, every piece reflects my love for storytelling and my desire to bring beauty and joy into your life.

So, I hope you feel inspired and connected if you’re here to dive into cultural tales, try a delicious recipe, plan your next adventure, or browse my artful creations. Take time exploring, and don’t forget to say hello—I’d love to hear from you!

Blessings always,

Cy ❤️
