After the fun activity, it was time to hear these amazing moms talk about being a mom.

Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio showed us photos of her son, her (mountain climbing) adventures and, of course, her family. She gave us questions to answer and to ponder on and to share with our seatmates. One question struck me and it was, “Aside from being a wife and mom. Who am I?”

After her talk, Ms.Maricel Laxa-Pangalinan was next. I was very inspired with the stories she shared and how funny she was. She reminded us that we shouldn’t forget ourselves, even though we already have our roles as mom and wife. That we should find time to pamper and connect with ourselves from time to time.

During the program, raffle prizes were given/drawn to lucky moms! Prizes ranged from baby carriers to bottles to a brand new crib (yes, a crib!) and even a 3-month supply of Huggies diapers! Woah, right?

Soon-to-be Mrs.Garcia! Nikka won in the raffle!

Of course, an event wouldn’t be complete without food. As we all enjoyed K. by Cunanan’s delicious catering, we were also able to chit chat and get to know each other even more.

Everyone also got to take home a goody bag full of awesome goodies! (: It was indeed an afternoon of laughs, chats and spoilin’ as we moms had the chance to spend some time and re-connect with ourselves.
