Good Morning Loves!  I am very excited and pleased to announce that my humble blog, Mommy Practicality has turned ONE YEAR OLD today (enter balloon drops and confetti pops!)  HURRAY!

Looking back, I started Mommy Practicality after some soul searching on what topic I really wanted to write about and for whom.  Originally, this was louisefandino.blogspot.com, but I thought, oooh, that's not a really nice blog name, who cares about Louise Fandino?  But seriously, I was just writing about anything but leaning towards my pregnancy and welcoming my second child into this world.  The first ever post was about  anticipating the time I give birth to my second son and the last post was still about my bunso turning 1 year old.

After coming home from my happy forever anniversary date with hubby last year (June 28, 2012) I unbelievably can't stop thinking about blogging.  I don't know what came into me because although I like to share a lot of stuff online, writing is just a second love after singing.  So I came up with a blog name in mind and prayed hard for it.  If the name was already taken then, I won't pursue, but if it's still available, then it's a sign that I should pursue and make it big (someday!)

Mommy Practicality was born on July 1, 2012.  My first ever post, and highest stats of all time, was about my toddler's McDonald's Birthday Party Celebration.  365 days later, I have fairly written 188 posts basically covering topics on Kids, Moms, Food, Events, Money Matters, Practical Finds and Practical Fashion.  I advocate for having practical choices in life without sacrificing value and quality.  I also advocate for enriching a Mom's individuality and still pursuing her dreams while taking care of her family.  Hopefully, you my readers, could see that in the posts that I naturally write about.

Any anniversary should be celebrated right?  So with this, as my way of thanks to my readers, followers and supporters, I would like to give back to all of you!  I'm celebrating my blog anniversary with a BIG BANG!  I call it the Blog Anniversary Blowout or the B.A.B!

Because my sponsors are all supportive and generous, there will be not one, not two nor three, but FOUR waves or packages of giveaways beginning July 3! :)
