I just realized that it was May 26, 2007 (just over a year ago) when a group of mommy bloggers came together and met for the FIRST TIME over lunch organized by the Pinoy Moms Network which included Connie.
Wow, has it been one year already???
Most of these mommy bloggers are still active bloggers who I bump into every so often. Of course, the likes of Noemi and Dine are already steep into blogging and you can be sure that at almost every major event, they would be in the crowd and never without their laptops. However, every so often, I would also bump into the others like Chats who joined a recent dinner/reunion with Raquel at Dine’s bday celebration. Or twit with her, Feng, Cess, Julie and Kongkong.
Since I met this group of bloggers, life has not been the same, at least for me. My blogging has escalated several notches and my network of bloggers has expanded. We greet each other on birthdays and anniversaries and exchange tips of all kinds. Isn’t that just wonderful?
Lately, there have been a handful of DADDY bloggers already in some events and I hazard a guess there would be more. Husband-wife tandem bloggers are starting to crop up and recently, even brother-sister combinations. Family blogs are sprouting with each member of the family contributing articles to a blog. Wow, family blogging is born!
I can see so much potential in family blogs and who knows, this could very well be a topic in the next iblog5 summit! If technology is one bonding tool with this multimedia generation, why not in the form of blogging? Family events can be blogged about with each member contributing his/her own view and having all these combined into one post. Family memoirs preserved through blogs.
What do you think?
Hi Jane!! I missed out on the Mommy lunch…kasi di pa ako member ng PMN nun 😀
Still, it really did pave the way for fantastic friendships..online and offline.
Jane: Kongkong, it doesn’t matter when we struck up our friendship. What’s important is we continue to stay in touch. See you around! 🙂
hi Jane. oh yes, I remember, it’s been a year since we last had the PMN meetup. of course, there are side meetups after that and here we are, getting in touch not only though our blogs but via our twits.
hope to see you again Jane. 😉
Jane: Feng! I really hope to bump into you personally soon!
oh, it has been one near now? true, within one year, friendships have been developed and memories shared.
and yes, family blogging is here to stay, and move on to further heights.
miss you, Jane! you have been working so hard.
Jane: I miss you too, Dine. Will chat you up when time allows me….soon!!!
Hi Jane! So it’s been a year, JUST a year… And it seems like i’ve known you mommies SB (Since birth, hehe). I’m really thankful for that one mommy lunch that started it all. It’s nice to see these photos up again. 🙂
Jane: Chats, yes it seems longer than a year, no? Here’s to more mommy lunches!
P.S. My Patch has her own blog. She complains nobody reads her, hehe. maybe I should let her guest-blog in mine instead. What a nice thought – a family blog. With my kids’ growing interest in tech and blogging, it’s not a far-fetched thought.
Jane: Naku, yes…let her guest-blog. Like techie mom, like techie daughter!
I recently came up with a blog for my brother 😀
Jane: Mica, you were the one of those I had in mind when I spoke of brother-sister tandem. 🙂
it’s been a year, and life has never been the same for me too. my new friends are a blessing.
and i always look forward to exchanging twits with you. here’s to twitterring!
Jane: Cess, you are one of my counted blessings! 🙂
Hubby, my eldest daughter and my two younger children (though I am the writer and its about their homeschooling lesson) have blogs too.
Family blogs, why not, I bet it would be fun to read about different points of view 🙂
Jane: Yes, it would be fun to read the minds of each family member for family events, wouldn’t it?
