Expo Mom 2011 with Monch

After breakfast at Mercato Centrale today, baby daddy dropped us off at the Rockwell Tent for the Expo Mom 2011 event.

As with most activities involving only Monch and me, I had my own program for the event. At registration, I would sign up for the Mommy Mundo Privilege Passport. I would drop off my art materials (donations) at the MomShare booth. Monch and me would have our complimentary picture taken at the Digiprint booth.

I had a list of booths that I wanted to visit and, of course, I wanted check out the other booths, too. And the reason I decided to go early, I wanted to catch the Laughter Yoga talk/activity.

I was able to do everything on my list and more!

One sponsor had a photobooth, and, being the photobooth addict that I am, I could not pass that up. So, even if Monch was taking his mid morning nap in the front carrier, we still did the photobooth. Yes, with props.

I also found a booth selling Gerber Graduates puffs. This is the first time I've seen them being sold in the Philippines, so I got Monch the banana flavor and the strawberry apple flavors. I was also able to get Monch a second pair of swim diapers. There were a whole lot of other stuff that I wanted to buy but I was scared of getting buyer's remorse so I got the sellers' contact information instead.

There were also a whole lot of freebies. Starting with the re-usable Mommy Mundo tote. The tote was filled with freebies, too. The exhibitors were giving out freebies, too - from soaps to detergents and from dietary supplements to candy bags.

Needless to say, Expo Mom was a success in our eyes.
