My Motherhood Journey + EXPO Mom 2016

As women, we need outlets to express ourselves - to vent our frustrations, encourage us during our struggles and share our elation. Our mom friends understand us. There is a common connection that can only come from someone who understands exactly what we are going through.

My mommy friends are my constant understanding ear as I tackle the hardest and most rewarding job of my life. I always enjoy spending time with them because we always end up laughing about how we are going through the same things. It's so much comforting to vent with someone who understands almost exactly what I'm going through.

I don't even meet up with them that often. Most of the time our interaction is online, we just chat on FBC or though our viber group. We understand that motherhood is our priority and it takes up a big chunk of our time.

Expo Mom 2015 + Mommy Mundo Top Mom Picks Guidebook

When I was just a new mom, I remember having a difficult time shopping for baby items.  I loved that there are a lot of choices available, but I hated that I had to guess which ones were actually worth buying.

When I first heard of the Expo Mom Bazaar many years ago, it was like an answer to my prayers. All the right brands are housed in one roof for three days. What I love about ExpoMom is that most of the brands are being run my mommies themselves; this is the reason why I know that the products being sold in the bazaar are mommy-tested and mommy-approved. The owners themselves are on hand to answer my queries in the bazaar.

A few weeks ago, Expo Mom 2015 was held at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center.  Even if I’m done with babies, there are a lot of products for school-age kids, as well. And my teenager even found some items that she wanted to buy.

Here are photos of some of my favorite finds:

  

My Big Girl loves the BuiltNY owl lunch bag on the topmost left. Too bad her stainless steel lunch container is too big to fit in it. Perfect na sana. BuiltNY is exclusively distributed by QuirksPH and it is available in all Rustans outlets.
