Smart has really launched big with their Live More campaign and they’ve just released their official anthem. No less than international artists James Branbury and Pete Davis were commissioned to come up with the tune. Davis has worked on scores for popular movies such as Moulin Rouge while Banbury worked on Coyote Ugly. Branbury has also arranged strings for artists such as U2, Depeche Mode and Snow Patrol. Davis has programmed and performed on records by Gwen Stefani, Bjork and The Spice Girls.

Big time! I first heard the anthem on the radio. I was on my way home from work when I first heard the anthem on the radio. It was late, and BDW was driving. I’ve said before that I really connected with Smart’s LiveMore campaign. It resonates with me, as I’ve been thinking THINKING really really hard if the life I’m living now is the life that I want to live. Of course I love being a mom and a wife it’s what I do to provide for my family that’s taking time away from these two roles that I truly love and that truly makes me feel alive and fulfilled.

Then the song came.  The beat was easy and light, like a cool summer breeze. I listened to the lyrics,

It’s enough that you’re always there…time’s your life,make the most of every moment…it’s your life, it’s your life…

Simple, yet stirring. It’s a call to action. Everyday, we’re faced with choices and we’re shaped by the decisions that we make and don’t make. It’s our life, It’s our time!

Parang sign sya for me to do something big soon (naks). Here’s the video of the song:

The #RealMom campaign features (from left to right) fabulous mom bloggers and mompreneurs Kris who blogs at OcMominManila.com and tweets as @ocmominmanila, Eli of Painterswife.com and @painterswifeph, Paola of MommyTreats and @mommy_treats and Martine of Daintymom.com and @dainty_mom

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’ statements. You can’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.

The individual posters can be found after the cut.

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
