48 Busy Mommy Bloggers in one place.. that’s not an easy feat.. and to say the event was a huge success, is an understatement.
The Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand Eyeball can be dubbed as the mommy bloggers event of the year. From a target of 50 mommies, 48 graced the event. These mommy bloggers came from different parts of the world, one came from Canada, the other one from the US and one from Germany. Mommy Bloggers all over the Philippines also joined the said event, we have moms from Baguio, from Cagayan de Oro, from Bacolod and from Bicol as well as moms who are from Rizal and from different parts of the Metro.
The first PMC grand EB was held last April 2011, and just a few weeks after that, we already started planning for the 2nd grand eb, yes the first one was so bitin that we all end up asking for more! The date was set and the ball started rolling, and just like any other events organizing, we experienced some bumps along the way but with this photo proudly displayed on our group wall, those bumps just made the event more successful.
The event, of course, wouldn’t that successful if not for the help and support of companies who believed in us and agreed to be our sponsors. Their products, I can say and I am sure the moms would agree, are those that we trust and use.
As for our major sponsors, we have the following companies that gave each mom something to bring home and generously gave items that were raffled off during the event.
