A Momma's Life

The arrival of a new baby is always something to look forward to. It's one of the best news a woman could ever receive in her entire life. Moms, especially first time ones, are full of excitement and great expectations for the bundle of joy who will be joining the family.  Just the sight of a new baby can make a pregnant mommy dreamy-eyed. Aside from the positive emotions, being an expectant mom comes with other concerns like choosing the right hospital, picking the perfec t OB, shopping for high-quality and most recommended stuff for the baby.  The list goes on. Soon-to-be mothers need to shop for their stuff, too. There are maternity wear and post-natal wear to think about. Comfort and safety should be the top consideration when choosing a maternity wear. You really don't need to spend much on maternity wear. There is a lot of good but affordable brands especially local ones.  One of them is Mome. I love their Maternity + Nursing line. I like buying ...

Being a mom of one can be overwhelming at times.  What more if you have two or three?  I often wonder how the mothers of previous generations were able to survive motherhood without the conveniences and technological advancements that we are enjoying today.    I really salute our mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and so forth.  I honestly think my own mom is a supermom.  She was able to take good care of us and manage a household of six.  And look at me now.  I am already struggling with just one kid.   I am so looking forward to meeting our second child next year.  At the same time, I also doubt and question myself if I am equipped enough to be a mom of 2.  As preparation for the grand event next year, I have started to scout for mommy must-haves and baby essentials.   I came across Aller Plasma Sterilizer, and I thought to myself- maybe I needed that product to lessen my household ...

Social media has connected people from different parts of the world.   We can collaborate, share ideas, and tell our stories to moms who we haven’t even met face to face.   We are able to relate to moms and empathize with them even if we haven’t seen them in person.   Some of the friendships we have now might have started from Facebook and Instagram.   We may meet or discover a person online, but it does not mean that these interactions are devoid of emotions.   When we invest a great deal of our time on our online activities and correspondences, it is not unlikely that there will be an attachment to people we talk to. Modern technology does not have to take away the human experience.   As for me, I don’t see it that way.   In fact, because of technology and social media, I am able to be a part of this magazine as a contributor even though I am on the other side of the world.   There is a sense of connection with other moms from the public...
