About the Author
Hi there! I’m Cristina, Tyh for short.
I am a mom of three amazing children, juggling career, family life and content creation.
Since I was young, I’ve always love documenting my life by writing in my journal and taking photos or videos. One day, it felt that my ramblings cannot fit in the small space in my brain and I thought that having a blog is the best way to put my thoughts into words. In 2006, I made a free blog account, in 2012, I decided to take my ramblings into a notch higher – I took the chance and officially came up with “Momsie’s Circle” (momsiecle.com).
As you are reading this now, my blog name has changed to Cup of Tyh, making my space more versatile. Cup of Tyh talks about my life as a mother, navigating the ups and downs of midlife and the valuable lessons along the way. For the fun part, this space offers a glimpse into the things that bring joy and inspirations to my life such as travel, food and other great stuff while providing valuable financial insights for Canadian families.
This blog opened a lot of doors for me, I made new friends from different parts of the globe, I met people from different communities and collaborated with different brands. This blog played a big role to what I am and where I am today.
Welcome to the new Cup of Tyh and I hope you enjoy your stay…
This is the New Cup of Tyh
If you have been following me, you know that this is not the first time that this space changed the way it looks. This site had a few makeovers in the past, this time, the new look was unplanned. In June 2024, before changing my blog host, I failed to make a back up of my website, unfortunately, my 13 years worth of content were all gone! I felt so bad about it, but as they say we shouldn’t cry over spilled milk. I am decided to continue with my passion for writing, I am taking this as an opportunity to start over. I am building this space from the beginning again.
If you are interested in collaborating or looking for engaging content, I am open to partnerships and sponsored posts, let’s connect and create something amazing together!
As I make this space to be my “superwoman wannabe” online journal, I want to express my gratitude to the important people in my life. My 3 children – Raphael, Leeanne and Janine, they are the most supportive kids and the best cheerleaders that I could ever ask for; to my best friend, Raech, for always making time to give me her comments about what I write and how I looked in my photos, to my high school friends who have been very supportive (every time), to my really good friend, Maricris for always supporting me and reminding me of what I am capable to do; to 11&10 Concepts Winnipeg for all their help, especially to Lou for all my amazing photos, and more importantly, to you my online friends, who took the time to visit and read all my shenanigans. The visits, the likes, the comments and the shares meant a lot to me. A heartfelt thanks to all of you…
