After a very long while, I was able to visit n@w egroup again, my fave yahoo group of all time. I used to be very active in this egroup, right mommy bloggers? I owe all my parties’ success to n@w as this was the place where I learned of all my party suppliers for both birthdays of Sophia (the 1st and the 2nd). For a while, my day won’t be complete without checking posts from my fellow n@wies (how we usually call each other) and post an entry or two for myself. I loved exchanging insights, opinions, views and what-nots with my fellow mommies in this wonderful egroup. I can relate to almost every concern they have when it comes to child rearing, husband stories, yaya concerns and of course party plans I came to know most mommy bloggers I’m now friends with in this egroup too. I felt so at home with n@w back then. I raise very concern I have, ask every stupid question and post and share every party pictures my daughter has as I thought I somehow owe it to the group. N@wies were a bunch of ready to help mommies just like me. That no matter how strangers we all are to each other, we still get affected, concerned, touched and manage to help each other out on different things. I just loved it there. It became my guide, my reference, my basis, my comparison site every parent like me should be thankful for. I loved reading other’s experiences as I learn from them, from child related stuff to traveling to shopping to parties etc. I take note of the good, the bad and the what-nots all in my head and use them as reference whenever the need arises. The few scandals and tsismis from my fellow n@wies added spice too of course Not appreciated but was welcome, HAHA.

But then…

I ventured into paid blogging. The stay-at-home-mom who used to have all the time in the world to read posts from every mom here and and abroad who were a part of n@w suddenly got busy as I had deadlines to meet. The not so good multi-tasker that I am, slowly forgot all about n@w – the very egroup I have learned to love and I should be grateful to for a lot of things I neglected. Its not until now that I visited it again and got to read posts. I missed a lot! I should have been one of those who are raving about how being a stay-at-home-mom rocks. (But kudos to yayaless SAHMs which sad to day I am not one of, obviously!) I should have been imparting a thought or two also on how it is to travel with a toddler in HK as I’ve done it many times already. I would have given my piece too on one mommy who was asking for party ideas and which planner she should get and last but not the least, I would have scored a starbucks 2008 planner too at 1k with free shipping! LOL. I am no coffee drinker thats why

Now, I’m hoping to be back – to being a n@wie again that is. I should be imparting same hospitality, same kindness and accommodation that I got when I was just a newbie. I got answers to every concern I’ve raised and how I felt good. Now should be payback time
