<div class="ezAdsense adsense adsense-leadin" style="float:right;margin:12px;"></div><p>I can&#8217;t stop gushing over Mommy Matter&#8217;s newest campaign. Not only because it features four fine modern moms who I&#8217;m proud to say are my friends online and offline but because the message it conveys is simple &#8212; <strong>all moms are awesome in their own unique ways</strong>. Isn&#8217;t that beautiful and empowering?</p>
<p>The #RealMom campaign features (from left to right) fabulous mom bloggers and mompreneurs <strong>Kris</strong> who blogs at <strong><a title="ocmominmanila" href="http://ocmominmanila.com" target="_blank">OcMominManila.com</a></strong> and tweets as <strong><a title="ocmominmanila" href="http://twitter.com/ocmominmanila" target="_blank">@ocmominmanila</a></strong>, <strong>Eli</strong> of <strong><a title="painterswife" href="http://painterswife.com" target="_blank">Painterswife.com</a></strong> and <strong><a title="painterswife" href="http://twitter.com/painterswifeph" target="_blank">@painterswifeph</a></strong>, Paola of <strong><a href="http://facebook.com/mommytreats" target="_blank">MommyTreats </a></strong>and <strong><a title="mommytreats" href="http://twitter.com/mommy_treats" target="_blank">@mommy_treats </a></strong>and Martine of <strong><a title="dainty mom wahm tips" href="http://daintymom.com" target="_blank">Daintymom.com</a></strong> and <strong><a title="dainty mom wahm tips" href="http://twitter.com/dainty_mom" target="_blank">@dainty_mom</a></strong></p>
<p><a title="MM real mom ad omnibus v1 fs by martine_cosio, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8589157@N07/7112128419/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7122/7112128419_f9987cf8a5.jpg" alt="MM real mom ad omnibus v1 fs" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Each mom has her own poster with her own #RealMom statement. The statements highlight the fact that all of us moms are so different but we are all the same in our goal of loving and nurturing our families in the best way we can.I can attest to these moms&#8217; statements. You can&#8217;t get any more real than these guys. Having a blog means baring a part of your soul to the public and these moms have all shared their trials, wins and more importantly their learnings all in their own blogs.</p>
<p>The individual posters can be found after the cut.</p>

<p>Mommy Matters is co-owned by Janice Villanueva, a mompreneur who runs MommyMundo who is behind Expo Mom, Expo Kid, Pregnant Pause, Mommmy Milkshake Marathon and the free zines Urban Mom and the free directory, Mommy Pages among many others.  Mommy Matters is a brand of stylish and comfortable nursing wear. These #RealMoms are all breastfeeding their little ones currently <img src='http://manilamommy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I love how her company is so supportive of other moms. Janice and crew, I salute you all in this really wonderful campaign!</p>
<p>To Kris, Eli, Paola and Martine cheers to spreading the #RealMom manifesto!! You guys rock!</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>How about you? What&#8217;s your Real Mom statement? Post it at the Mommy Matters facebook page <a title="mommy matters" href="https://www.facebook.com/mommymatters" target="_blank">here</a>   or tweet it to @MommyMattersph with the hashtag #RealMom</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>As for me my #RealMom statement is:<em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Being a mom is like being in a one-woman circus and sometimes the most important role you have to play is that of a clown <img src='http://manilamommy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></strong></p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Judy Ann Santos answered my question on how she keeps updated with parenting trends and tips in last week's Johnsons Baby Philippines Facebook chat! ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Johnson&#8217;s Baby Philippines has a Facebook page that has been quietly humming along for almost a year now. The brand moved to a new Facebook page to reflect that Johnsons Baby is really  not just for the baby in the family but for the entire Pinoy family! Go check out the new Facebook page <a title="Johnsons Baby Philippines Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/JohnsonsBabyPhilippines">here</a>.</p>
<p>Last week the page hosted a live webchat with new mom Judy Ann Santos and I was invited to send in questions by Nuffnang. I wasn&#8217;t able to view the entire webchat but snippets of what transpired were posted in the page a few days after. Guess what! My question got picked!!! </p>
<p><object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jHaTXvdbb9E?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jHaTXvdbb9E?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>What I actually wanted to ask was if she read parenting blogs but I guess her busy schedule doesn&#8217;t allow her to do that hehehe. Suffice to say I was quite starstruck!! So did you think she nailed my question? </p>
