About Me

A few quick things about me:

  • I cook when I have time or when someone else is watching the kids. But this blog isn’t about meal prep or recipes.
  • I’m a Filipino mom raising three wild but sweet kids.
  • I make digital printables and tools because writing things down helps me function.
  • I run on coffee, sarcasm, and the hope that maybe tonight they’ll all sleep at the same time.

A Bit of Backstory (because I’m more than someone’s mom)

Hi, I’m Ces. Marketing grad, breadwinner mom of three, and usually juggling more things than I probably should.

Before motherhood, I was the girl who said yes to random beach trips, joined groups of strangers like it was nothing, and stayed up way too late, deep diving into whatever topic caught my attention.

I loved meeting new people, talked way too much, and thrived on being a little random. I proudly collected Starbucks planners like trophies and still love a good printed one, even if I forget where I left it most days.

Then I became a mom at 23, and things shifted. I was still the breadwinner, now with diapers in the mix. I stayed up late working and woke up early to be a mom. I learned how to function through exhaustion.

These days, I’m usually answering emails with a baby on my hip or strapped to me in a carrier while washing dishes. Sometimes I write during naps. Sometimes I don’t finish sentences because someone’s showing me a TikTok they found funny or asking for help opening crackers they already tore halfway.

What is Crumbs and Calendars?

Somewhere in between dropping crumbs on the floor and planning doctor’s appointments I’d probably forget, the name Crumbs and Calendars came to me. It felt like the most accurate way to describe my life: messy, scheduled, and somehow still moving.

 Working from home sounds cute until you’re answering emails with one hand and cleaning up spilled juice with the other. I share what actually works when you’re the boss, the babysitter, and the barista all in one.
