Say Hello to the SoMoms!

What is Mommy Mundo SoMoms?

We are a collective of moms who are active on social media and have unique voices and points of view that are relevant to moms like us.

We have individual beliefs and advocacies covering a wide range of concerns that most moms today have namely, breastfeeding, babywearing, natural parenting, time management, mompreneurship, home management, beauty and fashion, health, and more.

We are passionate about sharing our discoveries with other moms, giving advice, creating conversations and building relationships online with our readers and followers.

We are proud to be social media moms.
We are always online.

We recognize the responsibilities of being an active influencer in social media and celebrate the opportunities that come our way.


First of all, let me just say I'm proud to be a SoMom.
I am privileged to be chosen as a pioneer member of this exclusive circle of social media moms formed by Kris and Janice.

When I began blogging in mid-2009, everything I wrote was random.  I just write and share, and had no clear direction whatsoever. You can read why and how I started blogging here on my Who page, and What I blog about.  Even though I worked as a copywriter, writing doesn't come easy for me -- it takes a lot of time and effort to come up with each and every post you read here.  I can only wish to blog three times a week, once at the very least.  That's why I really admire those who can actually publish a well-written feature almost everyday, some even more than once a day!

Slowly, over the past few years, I saw how social media evolved, not just blogging.  I guess I started at the right time and maybe did something right, which helped me establish my niche in the blogosphere.  I never thought I'd have an online persona (I use mymomfriday as my handle/username on my social network).

I also learned so much, and still learning, from people I have met through my social media network and from various activities I've participated in.  Aside from the many opportunities that came my way as a mom who blogs (I'm still not comfortable calling myself a mom blogger!), what I am most thankful for are the friends I've met, mostly like-minded women whom I share common interests with.  I'm blessed to have formed new friendships with them through our shared experiences as individuals, as wives, as mothers.  We literally got connected through the dynamic world of social media.  It feels great to be among fellow moms that I respect and share a voice with through SoMoms.
