Hello!  As March 1 kicked in I hurriedly checked Nuffnang Philippines' website to see if their March feature is already up.  When I saw it, I was literally screaming out of joy.  You know the feeling of a child waiting for Christmas Day so that she could open her gifts under the Christmas tree?  Yes, exactly that feeling.

I almost fainted when I saw this on their home page.

Remembering a year and eight months ago, all I just ever wanted was to write, share my practical tips and mommy experiences and hopefully be able to find and connect with women and moms like me, who have the same love for parenting and living life practically.

I guess in my own little way, I was able to achieve that.  Slowly and (hopefully) surely.  All I have with me are these: a determined and passionate heart to inspire and help, my practical life experiences and stories to share and my writing skills.  With those, plus loads of commitment for this passion, I continued writing.

I also invested in blog coaching (which I am currently taking with my mentor Martine de Luna), in web design revamp (which took a backseat, but will soon happen!) and in attending workshops.  Investing in something you love doing helps in improving on your craft, bonus of it is you get to meet a number of like-minded individuals (which later become your friends) and you learn a lot from them too.

None of these would have happened also if not for the support of my readers and my online friends via Mommy Practicality's Facebook Page.

To be a featured blogger of Nuffnang Philippines is a dream come true for me.  Imagine being featured along side some of the country's celebrity bloggers (like Erwan Heussaff, Saab Magalona, Divine Lee, Victor Basa, Chuckie Dreyfus and Patty Laurel to name a few) and popular bloggers I follow (such as Jackie Go, Christine Dychiao, TSN, Earth Rullan, and Frances Sales to name a few) is such an honor and such a KILIG feeling.

Thank you my dear readers and supporters of Mommy Practicality.  I dedicate this blog milestone to all of you!  Without you, I wouldn't be where Mommy Practicality is on its blog journey.  Thanks also to Nuffnang Philippines for the feature.  I still can't believe I'm seeing my name and my face on their site. :)
