Make your blog more social and mobile with NuffnangX. The NuffnangX mobile app is available at GooglePlay and at the iTunes store.

On the web, you can sign up your own blog and even bookmark your fave blogs on NuffnangX using your Nuffnang, Twitter or Facebook account.

Give MommyCow a big heart on NuffnangX and do follow myblog :)

NuffnangX covers all the blog niches which you can easily follow on your mobile. I'm not much of a blog stalker, but I'm more of blog hoarder, if I find some interesting blog posts I usually follow these blogs and read them during my downtime. Glad NuffnangX is banking on its own community of blogs for a more social experience.

Mommy Blogger Philippines: Hey Mommy Arge!

A soon-to-be Mommy I know has recently taken up blogging. This is especially interesting since she has worked as a web specialist for years, I love the idea that in a few months she will be posting pictures and updates about her baby. Here's Mommy Arge's website.

Well most moms do start their first blog when they have their first baby (I know I did!) it was the most practical way to keep track of all the wonderful baby milestones.

Well, Mommy Arge, I hope you enjoy blogging as much as pinning nonstop on Pinterest :)

Nuffnang Reboot: So How Do You Like the New Nuffnang Ad Dashboard Interface?

Though I am very much used to the old one, which I wasn't able to get a screengrab of before it was disabled. This new one is cute, but would take me a few days to get used to. The same stuff is still there and where it should be. The difference? new color theme and drop down menu for the blog list... well that's what I've noticed so far.


If you're not keen on the social media option - "Nuffnangers who recently viewed your blog" - you can always turn it off in the privacy settings tab.

Baby Choy Choy: Our New Baby Cow!

Haven't had time to upload his baby pics as of late. But this is my new babycow in his moo moo onesies (which is bursting at the seams). Super chubs na baby ko!

Though we let him crawl on the grass, there were no bugs whatsoever, our picnic blanket is just inches away. Choy loves the grass by the way. He likes pulling a lot of it haha! This was taken last Sunday @ the Terra 28th Park at Bonifacio Global City.

Johnson & Johnson Philippines: New Gen Care for New Gen Moms

Johnson & Johnson baby care products, a trusted partner of Moms in the Philippines for over a 100 years, just recently came out with a line of New Gen Care baby products for the ever-changing needs of the New Gen Mom. My personal baby care favorites are Johnson’s® Lavender Bedtime Bath, Johnson’s® baby Top-to-Toe™ Self Foaming Wash and their sunscreen series which includes the Johnson’s® baby Daily Sun Protection Lotion.

What's a New Gen Mom to boot? A New Gen Mom is what we can call a modern mom with a new set of contemporary challenges- balancing work, family time and personal goals. New Gen Moms are master multi-taskers, highly expressive with ideas and constantly cultivates a habit of action when it comes to prioritizing their children.

My baby Choy loves the new foam wash, he's learning to grab and grasp bubbles lately, so bath time has been oodles of fun for the family. The Johnson’s baby Top-to-Toe Self Foaming Wash has an easy squirt nozzle, smells great and very gentle too.
