#ThisishowyouNanay : A Not-So-Cheesy Story #EdenCheese

For more than 11 years, my field was parenthood and Eden Cheese has played a vital role in the growth of my kids.
I started out as a wide-eyed learner, convinced of the reality of kids, cooking, multitasking, all about being a mom. A few years of increasingly careful experimentation convinced me that everything you hear about being a mother is indeed factual. And as years went on, I realized that what I really want to be, though not easy, is still being a MOM.
Not easy? Hmm.. I tried to google what being a mom really is, and I saw this.

I'm not surprised at all. We’ve heard these words from everyone and have already said it ourselves on a near daily basis.
When the question about motherhood was being asked by Ms. Geli Victor to all moms present at the Eden Cheese media launch held at 25 Mushrooms Kitchen in Valle Verde5, most of the answers were "endless and exhausting" - words rooted in what we expect from becoming a mother - its not so easy.
It got me thinking.

Of course being a mother isn’t always hearts and butterfly kisses. It can be overwhelming but I don't think it's life threatening at all.
For me, what is truly hard is how to make them grow into good human beings. I want so bad for me to be a good example for them and I always tell myself to perform and do it right all the time. That's hard. Though I've been parenting 3 kids in tow, I still need to find a STAR mommy to help me go through all these.
Fortunately, Eden Cheese recently came across a fun loving mommy who is giving a lot of tips to all of us moms about how it is to be a NANAY or a MOM.

Mommy Star has always lived up to her name. As a hands-on single parent, the working mom loves to share her mommy stories on Facebook. Through her kwela videos about the most random life hacks and helpful tips and tricks, fans and followers alike have grown fond of Mommy Star’s antics. Mommy Star loves to entertain her daughter during her downtime by singing her heart out and when she dances, it’s like no one’s watching! Mommy Star is truly a show of her own!

With a huge social media following, Mommy Star has attracted the attention of fellow social media stars who have collaborated with her in an episode for their respective channels. Mommy Star has also been guesting in several TV shows, proof that this ordinary mom is now a star in her own right. Truly, more and more mommies on social media get hooked on Mommy Star’s helpful parenting advices and mommy hacks.

One of the most obvious favorite topics that Mommy Star likes to share on her page and through her vlogs is cooking and making sure that meal times are more fun and creative for her daughter. As a regular working mom who is hooked on social media, Mommy Star knows the importance of keeping food exciting so kids will always look forward to mealtimes and eat plenty.

"My daughter is a not picky eater but napansin ko na (I noticed that) she does not eat as much when I serve her food that she has eaten many times before," shared Mommy Star.

“There was a time I was just watching TV and I came across the recipe sharing commercial of Eden. Doon ko natuklasan yung Cheesy Tilapia at talagang na-curious ako nang bongga! Eh di ayun, ginawa ko at sobrang nagustuhan ng anak ko. Nakakatuwa talaga kasi madali lang siyang gawin, pero special talaga.” (I discovered the Cheesy Tilapia recipe while watching TV and I got curious. I tried making it and I was so happy that my daughter loved it. I especially like it because while it’s easy to make, it’s also a special recipe.)

Here to help moms take ordinary, everyday dishes to the next level is Mommy Star who embodies the brand with her fun and cheerful character, love for cooking, and knack for coming up with cheesy delights.
