the Multi-Tasking Mom: NatW

Names are out!!!
I am excited to be part of the upcoming I Love Being A Mom (IBM2014) Project this Mother's Month!
The project was launched by N@Wie sister - Jennifer Lopez Gana, wherein 12 blogger moms will be doing a mentoring session with 12 expecting mothers of Nazareth Homes (#126 J. P. Rizal St., Project 4 Quezon City) on May 7. It's surely going to be an afternoon of fun, learning and giving thanks for being granted a child.

The complete list of blogger mommies is listed below:-
1. Denise Rayala (http://www.bebengisms.com/)
2. Camile Aguila (http://www.lolliesandlipsticks.com/)
3. Nerissa Nunag (http://www.babyneosmama.blogspot.com/)
4. Leira Pagaspas (http://www.pagaspas.com/)
5. Joy Lojo (http://www.pinionsandplumageoflove.blogspot.com/)
6. Nadia de Leon (http://www.nanaystrip.wordpress.com/)
7. Clarice Avinante (http://www.tickledmoms.com/)
8. Cheryl Chan (http://www.themulti-tasking-mom.blogspot.com/)
9. Lani Lyutz (http://www.mommybloggersphilippines.com/)
10. Bedalyn Aguas (http://www.mamiandfamily.blogspot.com/)
11. Sella Goden (http://www.diskartengnanay.blogspot.com/)
12. Juliet Cruz (http://www.pinoyvision.net/)

I am happy to know that one of my good friends, Clarice (tickledmoms), will be doing it with me!

I know I still have a lot of mommy experience to go, but I hope that I would be able to help these new mommies-to-be avoid some of the mistakes that I've done in the past and also, let them know what worked for me when I was in their shoes.

Currently, there will be 13 Nazareth moms who will be doing this. Their profiles/stories have been recently shared to the above bloggers to know the types of women we will be mentoring. As I read through their profile, these women do need as much advise and assistance as I can. Their stories are quite diverse and surely an eye-opener for me. I'm hoping for an enlightening and enriching experience between both the mommy that I will be assigned to and will post how it went.

I love Being a Mom Project 2014: Mentoring Would-be Moms

MY MOMMY BACKGROUND
At first, becoming a SAHM was a huge adjustment for a corporate workaholic like me. The adjustment took longer than expected and I can still say that I'm still adjusting. I realized also that although it is NOT an easy job, it is the most rewarding one. No amount of promotion/money could ever equal the countless milestones, hugs, and kisses I get from my kids. And the way my son for example says his "thank you, Mom" and "I love you, Mommy", or how my daughter would come running over to me than her nanny since she decided she wants to direct feed than take it from a bottle. *bless her soul* Hands down, these are the moments that I will remember forever as a mother!

THIS MOTHER'S DAY
One of the things I've vowed to do this year is to be more active and volunteer in promoting breastfeeding, babywearing, and in "giving back" what I can. An opportunity has knocked on my door via my N@Wie sister - Jennifer Lopez Gana's call for volunteer mothers this year in the I Love Being a Mom project. You can read all about this project at JLofied's site.

IBM PROJECT 2014

Through my self-discovery at home and being a mother in general, I encourage other mothers (full-time, part-time working moms or SAHM) to be a part of this great cause of supporting the moms to be from Nazareth Homes. You can either be a volunteer blogger or a sponsor to the cause.
Let these women know that it's great to be a mother and babies are blessings. To know more about it, please see the poster and support what you can!
