Diaper Bag Giveaway @ManilaMommy.com

Hi everyone! Just got to hear about this recently from a fellow blogger that might interest some of my mommy readers like me. :)
**************************

August is shaping up to be a giveaway month not just for manilamommy.com but for all the manila family blogs- ManilaReviews, ManilaFitness, ManilaShopaholic and ManilaBlogs! Please try and visit all of the sites when you have time, you never know when you'd be a lucky winner!

Anyway, as Neva of Manilamommy.com is giving away Diaper Bags for some lucky follower of her's. Instructions are indicated below.

Let me kick off the giveaway month by giving away a Froot Loops diaper and travel bag and a LifeSavers bag from our very own ManilaBaby Shop! The promo period will start on Aug. 9, 2010 up to Aug. 27, 2010.


The LifeSavers is a super light weight, canvas bag which we use to bring DW’s stuff for overnight trips. This bag has also been used as a laptop bag and can also be used as a school bag for school-aged kids!

The Froot Loops is diaper bag that converts into a stroller bag so that you can have easy access to your baby’s stuff anytime, anywhere!

Both bags have waterproof interiors with lots of pockets. You also get a free extra large changing pad which provides maximum coverage for those public changing stations and a plastic pouch!

To see more of the bags please go to

Some baby news...I'm now about 26 weeks pregnant and we are both excited to really prepare for the baby's arrival. We were able to attend a birthing class and I got to learn about Baby Lingo (baby sign language) and a lactation class as per my brother's advice.

I'm just so eager to attend these classes that I hope I get to use them when the time comes and use them effectively. :P
