Being a Mom is something that was in my cards but I didn't realize that I'd be a solo momma to an awesome three year old boy. Believe me, I have no regrets and I take parenting one step at a time each day - hoping against hope that I'll be able to pass the parenting exams with flying colors. Haha. 

Choi is now 3 and I am still clueless as to how to feed, discipline and teach him the basics. We still get those Momma and Baby running after each other when it's feeding time episodes and the "You don't love me anymore, Mama" lines when I get a teeny tiny mad at him. 

So when I heard about Smart Parenting's Mom Workshop that is focused on toddlers, I knew it was a chance for me to finally pick up bits and pieces of parenting advice that is fitting for a Mom with a 3-year old rambunctious boy. 

All About Toddlers:

Fulfilling its task to provide Filipino parents vital information about caring for and raising their child, SmartParenting.com.ph , the largest parenting news and lifestyle brand in the country, successfully held the first leg of Smart Parenting Mom Workshops on May 14 at Richmonde Hotel, Ortigas.
