EXTENDED! A&D is 5 Years Old + #ADis5Giveaway!

This post is one month late, we're yaya-less again but here it is now! I started this blog to document my firsts with motherhood. 5 years later, the blog has evolved as I am as a mom. Honestly, I can't believe I am still here, blogging after 5 years even when there are times when I get too lazy to blog anymore but then I think of how I met some of my closest friends today through blogging, how blogging gave me opportunity to work with different people and different brands and I would not deny I love receiving products to try and most especially sharing all my experiences to my readers. For 2016, my wish is for this blog to grow even more. :)

The Project Mom Favorite Finds Fair, Exhibit and Mother's Day Event at Glorietta + Win A Special Pass for the Mother's Day Event!

From April 17 to May 10, Ayala Malls, Avida Land, OLX Philippines together with Project Moms' Amanda Griffin-Jacob and Bianca Araneta-Elizalde celebrates Mother's Day with three pocket events.

The Project Mom Favorite Finds Exhibit, which will run from April 17 to May 10, 2015 in Glorietta 1 and 4, will showcase items and services, hand-picked by the Project Mom authors, Ms. Amanda Griffin-Jacob and Ms. Bianca Araneta-Elizalde. This will be a mix of those featured in the book and those curated by both moms.


The Project Mom Favorite Finds Fair will bring together purveyors of one-of-a-kind products for moms, families and home. It will run every Fridays to Sundays from April 17 to May 10, 2015 in Glorietta 1 and 4.

Last Saturday, I attended the media launch at the Avida Land Showroom in Glorietta. I along with my mommy friends got to take a sneak peek on what The Project Mom in Glorietta has in store for us!
Love the wooden board with our names! But I forgot to take this home huhuhu!
The ever so gorgeous Bianca Araneta-Elizalde and our host for that day, Nyko Maca. Bianca talked about how the book started and how has it helped a lot of moms.

On display were some of the Amanda and Bianca's favorite mom finds! Some of them I've loved when I became a mom and some were new discoveries!
And one of the new discoveries was Little Luli! Love the display! I want those dresses and shirt for my kids. And the fabric is super soft!
A showcase of Melissa Shoes, one of the most comfortable shoes there is! I know a lot of moms at least own a pair!
Then there's a bar cart full of Mustela goodies!
Abre Linea bags. Everyone needs a bag like this!
Messy Baby, a line of natural, safe and non-toxic baby products. I like their Bug Repellent Cologne which I've use on myself and the kids.
Ysabel's Daughter is another new discovery. They smell so good! They're also all natural and synthetics-free bath and body products.
There's also food and drinks! Bayani Brew!
A favorite for lactating mommies, Mommy Treats!
Cakes and bocaditos of Baked By Anita. I was so happy when I saw this booth! Got to eat bocaditos and red velvet cake!
The Project Moms' partners

And while I was busy taking photos and making chika with the other moms, I was thankful that there's the Little Harvard Academy booth where Y spent all afternoon doing arts and crafts! Thank you Teacher Katherine for entertaining Y. Heehee!
At first she didn't want to do arts and crafts, but after her first creation, she didn't want to leave na! Haha!
We also got to make our own tote bags at Alessandra Lanot's Tote Bag Stamping Station!

SoMoms with Bianca Araneta-Elizalde!

First giveaway is a Project Mom Book and a Mom 24/7 2015 Planner, a great bundle of mommy goodies.

PROJECT MOM is a straightforward guide designed to make motherhood a little bit easier and a little less intimidating. Amanda and Bianca draw on their personal parenting experiences to inspire women to discover motherhood in ways they may not have envisioned. PROJECT MOM is packed with useful information to navigate pregnancy all the way through to the baby’s first birthday. The book also covers bringing your baby home, breastfeeding, how to give your baby a healthy food start, and a section just for moms (including their tips on how to get your body back). They have included a comprehensive local directory that makes this book an essential part of your collection to make motherhood a little less overwhelming.


Mom 24/7 2015 Planner is one of my favorite planners to use! It has everything from your spaces for your schedule and your kids'. MOM 24/7 also has special forms such as Health record pages for mom, dad and each child (up to 3 kids), menstrual tracker for mom, family vacation planning page, party planning page, and more. To help us run an organized home, there is a grocery list form, menu planner, yaya/ household help record page.


It also has special discount coupons for several brands at the back of the planner!
