I am beyond words! When I received an email from Nuffnang, I felt I already won! 😉 Really, I did. I was beaming from ear to ear and I called my family to let them know of the nomination. And syempre, it wasn’t enough that I tell them, I had to make them read the nomination letter, out loud!:-) It is a solid validation that all the hard work I put in the blog is of significant value to the parenting community.
When I started blogging, my only thought is that I wanted to write. I used to write for the collegiate paper and it is one of my true passions. Blogging has given me the opportunity to write once more within the confines of my home, a topic closest to my heart, parenting. Blog posts came naturally as the experiences I share came from my everyday life as a mother. It covered my confession as a serial shouter, my hilarious experience with our Quentin Tarantino maid, my insight on the reality of marriage, my tips to avoid petty theft at home, to my desire for my kids to love their Filipino identity. It also covered our family travels laden with information. And not to be discounted, as it is an integral part of the blog, are the 1,000 plus worksheets I have made for my kids, as I personally tutored them in their early years in school.
I wrote. And, I posted. And like in the movie Field of Dreams, I built it, and people came.
Readers started dropping by as I see my statistics rise. Readers started commenting how they find the site helpful. And pretty soon, advertisers noticed it too. I have been asked several times how to be noticed by advertisers and cliché as it may sound, it just boils down to content. Give people good content and they will read it. Give people something of value and they will value you. That has been the central theme of TheGoMom, I aim to make each and every post, helpful and informative with a few dots of amusing and funny in between.
Nuffnang Philippines noticed me too! And that is the biggest break I or any other blogger in the Philippines could ever have. Nuffnang is the World’s Leading Blog Advertising Community and to be part of it can make a difference to a person’s blogging career. It made a difference in mine as it helped me connect to brands I would never have access to. Nuffnang is TheGoMom’s face to advertisers as they presented my blog content and statistics to brands. Since starting with Nuffnang, my sponsorships has risen from ground zero to the 100th floor!
Nuffnang also opened its doors for me to meet and connect with other bloggers who share the same passion of writing and sharing through the world wide web. And with this nomination, Nuffnang has helped me to be recognized in my craft. Nothing is more satisfying than being recognized for our hard work.
If you want to support TheGoMom further though, hehe, please cast a vote for me. Malay nyo ma lucky strike ako, nominated na, winner pa! My contenders are cringe worthy (established top bloggers with legions of followers) so I have tempered my expectations and rest in peace that the nomination is more than enough for me.

To Nuffnang, a million thanks for this nomination.
To my readers, thanks for being there all these years. And, hehe paki click naman ng vote. Pretty please:-) Thanks!
I have been surfing online more than three hours today, but I by no
means discovered any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will likely be a lot more helpful than ever
before.
Thanks for your kind words Christine:-)
