Expo Mom 2016: The Motherhood Journey + a Giveaway!

When I was a new mom, I'm grateful there's Mommy Mundo and Expo Mom. I discovered new brands, met mompreneurs who now are my friends, joined Pregnant Pause and even became a mompreneur who sells at Expo Mom because I really believed in Mommy Mundo's advocacy. Now on its ninth year, Mommy Mundo brings you Expo Mom 2016 on April 29-30 at the Glorietta Activity Center!

This year's theme is The Motherhood Journey. Being a mom is very challenging, whether you are pregnant, a new mom, a mom with a toddler, a mom raising a child/ren or even a mom to teens, you'll find both enlightenment and encouragement at this year's Expo Mom. This year, Expo Mom: The Motherhood Journey has four badges that represents what stage you are in this exciting journey of motherhood!
I'm a mom of two pre-schoolers! I still can't believe that R will be in big school already this coming school year. I no longer have a baby at home. Haha! I'm excited but at the same time very emotional about this new milestone. He'll be celebrating his first birthday in school and there will be a lot of firsts for him this year! With the two of them now at this stage, I already know the dynamics. Being yaya-less on/off for a year made me a more independent mom, sometimes it's still hard to handle situations when the both of them are being difficult! Haha! It's really a journey, a challenging but exciting one!


Share your #themotherhoodjourney stories and you might just win a prize! Check the prizes and mechanics below! See you at the Expo Mom!!!
Expectant moms can win a Snug-a-hug pillow, Blanqi supportwear, and Mother-K gift box worth P8,950.

A&D Weekend Guide: Expo Mom 2014 - You The Mom!

By the time a child reaches his second birthday, his mother would have changed his diaper 7,300 times. By his 18th birthday, she would have prepared for him 19,710 meals--and spent more than 100,000 hours to his care, granted that she gets to sleep eight hours every day that is, which is doubtful. Motherhood truly is an all-encompassing vocation, which can sometimes overwhelm mothers themselves.

But what makes moms so good at what they do is that they absolutely love what they’re doing. Caring for baby while running her home, making sure healthy meals are prepared at home, and all the children’s needs are met. They do the groceries, take the kids to the dentist, and oh, and in most households, moms hold 9 to 5 jobs or run successful businesses too!

Mommy Mundo Founder Janice Villanueva says, “We admire moms for their almost superhuman qualities, their powers in time management and multitasking alongside their ability to do anything and everything for their loved ones, and they all do these things wholeheartedly and passionately at that! And because most moms do all these tasks with grace and usually with flair even, we may sometimes forget to show her some appreciation and affirmation.

Even moms themselves sometimes don’t seem to recognize their own efforts. That’s because taking on numerous responsibilities and caring for those we love come natural to us. Still, we should take pride in who we are and the important roles we play not only in our own families, but also in our communities and country.

This Expo Mom 2014, we shout out YOU THE MOM! – this is a campaign to recognize the many big and small accomplishments of all moms. Through various planned activities online and at the Expo Mom event, we affirm and appreciate all the awesome things that moms do every single day, whether they’re taking care of their babies at home, doing volunteer work for a cause they believe in, or helping out a friend in need.

Now on its seventh year, Expo Mom is the biggest event of its kind, gathering progressive, active moms in an environment that’s both recreational and educational. Showcasing beloved mom brands alongside mom-created products, Expo Mom has drawn over 60,000 mom participants since 2008. It has become a venue for like-minded moms to establish lasting connections and has also become the catalyst for the mompreneur movement in Manila. This year’s Expo Mom will feature over 60 booths at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center, Palm Drive, Ayala Center. Expo Mom 2014 will also feature all-day talks, demos, and raffle draws.

Expo Mom’s You The Mom! campaign puts the spotlight on all the unbelievably good things that moms do by featuring 10 women whose stories represent every mom who has made a difference in her community, her family and in her child’s life. Real portraits of these moms, as photographed by Cres Rodriguez-Yulo, will be showcased via in an online gallery, hoping to spur on a complimenting social media campaign encouraging everybody to take the time to post a #youthemom statement. Statements from moms can be a post on what they are most proud of as a mom. For non-moms, posts can be a shout out all the good things that your mom has done for you or recognize a mom friend who inspires you. By using the hashtag #youthemom and #expomommanila, posts will be tracked and 3 of its participants will get a chance to win sponsored shopping sprees at Expo Mom.

At Expo Mom, a “You The Mom!” signature wall will allow moms to write their statements on what they are most proud of as a mom. “You The Mom!” is a celebration of motherhood,” Janice says. “We want to give value to moms who make a difference in the lives of our families and influence the course of our country. If you know of such a mom, give her a hug today to show just how much you appreciate her. If you’re a mom yourself, go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back because you’re doing an awesome job! You The Mom!”

Entrance to Expo Mom 2014 will be a requested donation to MomShare’s literacy projects. One hundred percent of Expo Mom’s entrance fees will go to its partner beneficiary, Kinder Project, which aims to provide reading tools and training to public school teachers in Quezon City and Payatas.

Mommy Mundo Privilege Passport holders get in free and will bring home a You The Mom! Tote bag. To apply for a Passport, log on to www.mommymundo.com/passport.

Visited The Mommy Mundo Bazaar last Sunday. I really look forward to Mommy Mundo Bazaar and Expo Mom every year (no joke, no biased ha) ever since my first pregnancy and this year was no exception! They always have great stuff for expectant moms, nursing moms, for babies and kids!

Before doing some shopping, I dropped off Y and yaya at the "play area" with some of the other SoMoms' kids. :) Jackie and baby Juro was my shopping buddy for the day!

Pretty mommy and cutie pie Juro!
For maternity wear, nursing bras, tops, dresses, and paraphernalia, Mommy Matters, Mamaway and Mama.Baby.Love are your pit stops!
I want to own a Dizzy Dress. But find their price a bit steep. Maybe when Y's bigger, I'd buy one. Hmmm..
I've been obsessing about shoes for myself and even for my kids so these local brands of shoes didn't escape my radar. Hihi..
Pretty and chic for the little feet! Tot Couture shoes! I think I should have bought that cap toe flats for Y.
I've been hearing raves about Tip Tap Soft Soles from fellow SoMoms. I want to buy the little loafers for R!
The Little Red Shoes where I bought Y a pair of denim sandals! Check my loot photo at the end of this post!
Saw this studded flats from Ambishoes! They'll also have one for your little girl. I want!
More and more organic clothing line and sleepwear are becoming available in Manila and one of them is Omma Organics. I want the neck pillow but they don't have stocks :(
Jackie and I also visited Baby K'Tan's booth. They got some Ikea items for sale! :) Jackie went balistic, well ako din! Haha! #ayawumamin

Ooh, I also visited Wonderworld Toys booth but I don't have a photo with me. I picked up my online order which is a gift to my nephew/godson! I love their toys! Hindi din kami makaalis agad sa booth na yon! LOL

And last but definitely not the least, my last stop was Mommy Treats! I picked up my lactation brownies from Paola! They were sold out already when I got there! Galing!!!
And for my loot that day...
Denim Sandals for Y, Grandma's Goo Remover and Mom 24/7 Planner for me, Red Sneakers and Hat for R!
