Bringing Out the Well-rounded Mom in Me through unMother’s Day at Eastwood City
But before we can give our best self to someone else, we gotta work on keeping that well-rounded, passionate women we truly are. Let’s admit it. After the birth, it’s so easy to focus on just being a mommy — changing diapers, washing clothes, nursing babies. It’s as if the painter, the fitness enthusiast, the poet, the musician or the baker in us took an indefinite leave.
I’m grateful that on my 1st mother’s day celebration, I got an opportunity to participate in “unMother’s Day”, a special event for moms at Eastwood City.
The millennial mom that I am, I eagerly joined the babywearing zumba and hiphop dance. It made me reminisce the zumba classes I joined when I was still single. Back then, fun and fitness were a must.
The babywearing zumba session in the unMother’s Day event made me realize that fun and fitness need not be sacrificed just because we have a baby. Babywearing is a safe new practice that can help us moms multi-task and dance our way to fitness.

The event also featured a fashion show of moms and their kids. I wasn’t part of the show, but simply watching moms all dolled up with their children reminded me that beauty and fashion sense need not be sacrificed just because we are now labeled as moms. In fact, I believe a woman should be more beautiful as a mom because there is an inner strength that comes with the pretty face.

The three Ps mentioned in the talk — Passion, Potential and Profitability– need not be sacrificed just because we are busy being moms. We need to give time to pursue our passion, work on our potential and find ways to be profitable at the same time.
Other than the exciting prizes and giveaways, and the new mommy friends, being reminded to be a well-rounded mom is the best gift I got from this mother’s day event. We just need to be “unmothered” once in a while to become the best mother that we can be.
Happy Mother’s day!
