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.

Holiday Trade Show 2011 (Richwell and Europlay)

Last July, I got an invite from Richwell for their Holiday Trade Show 2011, no idea what it was but since I love most Richwell exported toys, I just said yes. Come August 17 and my day was packed. My initial plan of a quick visit turned into an afternoon of fun with Levy of Living Life to the Fullest and Karen from Richwell. It”s in WackWack Country Golf Club and just imagine the whole club house filled with Barbie, Hot Wheels, Cars, toys, toys and toys. This was actually their showcase of their Holiday toys collection, merchandisers are welcome so that they could choose the toys they will sell this coming Holiday. OK I have no idea how it goes, but for sure you don’t want details on that right? So let’s get on with the fun fun fun part.

Err, that’s just us having fun. OK so here is the real FUN for all of you..

This is the Barbie Collector for 2011, Barbie Basics in jeans (12 collections), Holiday Barbie 2011 and Barbie The Museum Collection featuring Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and Leonardo da Vinci.

Barbie dolls, accessories, Barbie make up 9safe for 3 years old and above) and even Barbie Adult shoes.

Cars 2, Hotwheels with its newest collection (right side photo), Bakugan perfect gifts for the boys.. and I will definitely buy the Hot Wheels wall track. Moon Dough (not your ordinary dough.. it is super soft!), Dora and Thomas and of course Mega Blocks! And look, Smurfs!

Items for the babies, Fisher-Price toys and Chicco feeding necessities.

Most of the items displayed will be available this coming Holiday.. now Mommies, start creating yuor checklist and get ready for some Toy shopping this coming Christmas.. It’s never too early to plan right? as for me and for the boys, this is what I promised them:

That’s a Hot Wheels track that can be attached on the wall.. I really love Hot Wheels cars and we have more than a hundred of it and I wish I can buy as much race track as I can but we lack space.. the dilemma of where to put the tracks stopped me from buying race tracks.. but this track.. ohh it solves any space problem we have!

Metro Manila Traffic Navigator

2 hours. 4 kids and one hilarious joke: Jose Rizal is not our national hero.. he is our National Doctor!

HAHAHAHA

If a 2 hour traffic will always end up like this,well, I wouldn’t mind.. in reality, this only happens once in a while. Usually, the kids are already bickering at each other, complaining about the heat, about the need to go to the bathroom. And of course, we’re slowly losing our patience.

For a family with 4 kids (plus my nephew) being stuck in traffic is very stressful and I wish there is a way to know the traffic situation of the roads that we’re going. Well, my wish has been granted.. and I was really grateful to be invited in this event, the launching of TV5’s latest innovation:

Metro Manila Traffic Navigator, a project between TV5 and the Metro Manila Development Authority aims to give people the traffic situation which they can access in the internet which is updated every 5-15 minutes.

The traffic navigator can be found at http://mmdatraffic.interaksyon.com.

It covers main roads which include:

EDSA: from Balintawak to Mall of Asia
Quezon Avenue: Philcoa to Mayon
España: Welcome Rotunda to Lerma
C5: Libis Flyover to Market! Market!
Roxas Blvd: Anda Circle to Coastal Road
SLEX: Magallanes to Alabang Exit

A user can opt to see the traffic situations in 3 ways:

System View where in a map of the roads is presented with different line colors that represents the traffic situation.
Line View shows the situation through description such as light traffic, moderate traffic or heavy traffic
Google Map uses Google Maps to present the current traffic situation.

The media launch was held at Palawan Ballroom in Shangri Hotel, the event was hosted by Paolo Bediones and Cheri Mercado:

We had the chance to ask questions to the panel during the event forum:

This partnership will be very helpful to me and my kids. We know have an access of the traffic situation without having to call the MMDA. All we need is our cellphone and we can manipulate our way to my in laws.. faster and more convenient.

Arts and Crafts and Doughnut Design Challenge at One Serendra

The kids had a chance with doughnut and clay last Sunday at One Serendra. They had an afternoon of fun and fun and fun.. Moms from Filipina Bloggers United were also there and so I had so much fun ctaching up with them 🙂

The kids having their time designing their respective doughnut.. Sati wonders why she does not have her own doughnut hahaha

After the kids finisheed their doughnut, they made cute little Mario Brothers mushroom from clay. I did not had the chance to take photos because we’re all busy helping the kids.. but it was fun.

Then we had a sumptous meal which the kids enjoyed too. and while we were waiting for the clay to hardened.. we had a chance for some photo ops with the moms and the kids.
