This also include a list of top mommy blog in the Philippines.

In addition, here is the 5 SIMPLE STEPS TO BE A MOMMY BLOGGER:

1. Create a blog name that will represent you as a mommy blog. Sometimes it's good to include the noun mommy or mother or nanay.

2. Create an email the same as your blog name for branding purpose, in other words, for identification. After that, you can proceed to step 3 which is actually one of the most challenging part.

3. Open a blog. It has been debated for so many times which is the best blogging platform to use. For starters, I usually recommend blogspot because it is free. On the other han, if you are ready to shell out money, wordpress org is the best.

4. Design your blog. This sound like an easy task to do, it is actually, however, it can be very time consuming. The number of free templates for a blog is endless. To help you decide, set your blog tone and color. Will it be a dark themed blog? Light? What will be the primary colors? And from there, searching will be easier.

5. Lastly and most importantly, Start writing. The best way to start this is to introduce yourself. Likewise, you can also create a list of why you started a mommy blog. Or you can mention top 10 things that you would want your future readers to know about you.

Blogger Vs WordPress: Which is Better?

I started with Blogger as my my blogging platform.. and why not? it’s free and very easy to set up. As I my blogging career flourish (naks!) I switched to WordPress (I still maintain my old Blogger blog though)..and why not? It’s not free but it gives me control (one of my favorite word) and a lot more blogging opportunities.

Now, I have more than 10 blogs using WordPress as platform.. and I can say, I know WordPress now more than Blogger. If you don’t know what blogging platform to use, here’s a short comparison between WordPress and Blogger:

Blogger is a free blogging platform powered by Google.

Advantages:

user friendly
template set up is easy
more secured in terms of hacking

Disadvantages

less control over your blog in terms of content, Google can wipe your blog and its content if they feel that your blog is spammy
less advertisers because of disadvantage 1

How to start a blog with blogger?

Sign up using your gmail account at Blogger
Create your blog
Start posting

WordPress is also a free blogging platform but in order to experience it fully you will need to avail of hosting service from hosting companies like Bluehost.

Advantages:

more control on the content, you can literally do anything you want
more plug ins to satisfy your blogging needs
more advertisers

Disadvantages:

more prone to hacking (so you have to be very careful.. always update and delete unused themes)
set up is not that easy as it requires a few more steps than that of starting a blog from Blogger.

How to Start a blog with WordPress?

Buy a hosting service
Buy a domain, change setting to point the domain to your host
Add domain to your hosting dashboard
Install a WordPress on your hosting dashboard
Start blogging

What would I recommend? I’d say go for Blogger first.. WordPress can be overwhelming.. not just on the techy side but on the finances as well. As you go along, you can buy your own domain and still use Blogger as your platform. Stay tuned next Tuesday, I will be posting a tutorial on how to set up your own domain with Blogger.

Baby Company Grand Baby Fair- Year 4 Finds

I was not able to buy some toiletries for my birthday project from the Baby Fair, but I found some really cool items during the fair!

Ogalala booth has so much to offer! toys! toys! and not just toys, but practical toys.

This one is perfect to bring during long travels.. panglaban sa inip ng mga bagets!

And this building blocks (also from Ogalala) is a cheaper version of my favorite brand.. so if you’re looking for building blocks, you may want to try out this product.

Of course, Baby Company Grand Baby Fair is all about baby products, I saw a few strollers and cribs on sale as well as baby clothes and baby mattress:

I am surprised to see some booths that caters for mommies, such as the Working Mom Magazine booth and Makeupholics booth

Just like the past Baby Company Grand Baby Fairs, Wilkins is everywhere to serve the thirsty shoppers:

There were 12 cashiers during the fair:

Programs and other surprises welcomed the shoppers during the fair. Shoppers who spend 3000 PhP and up also received a swag bag (with items amounting to 3000 PhP also! ang swerte!!)..

So, see you next year? Ngayon pa lang mag ipon na kayo.. specially if you’re planning to have a new baby next year. I tell you, the Baby Company Grand Baby Fair is the perfect sale event for expecting moms and moms with new born babies..actually even those who have no babies will enjoy shopping (pang regalo sa mga inaanak hihi)…and moms with older kids too (like me hihihi).
