About

About
The Mommy Abroad is Shi‘s personal motherhood and parenting blog to chronicle this exciting new journey in my life. My first child, a bouncing baby girl, was born in April 2016.

This website has been live since 15 September 2016 and part of Very Shirley. My main personal blog is located at Shi Bytes.

The domain was originally created on 28 November 2014, a day after the confirmation of my first pregnancy, along with various matching social media accounts. Following a heartbreaking miscarriage, I allowed the TLD to expire in 2015.

During my second pregnancy, I registered TheMommyAbroad.com again. I purchased the domain at NameCheap on 14 March 2016, exactly a month before my daughter’s due date. Web hosting is provided by A2 Hosting.

This blog is powered by WordPress. The following plugins are used: F2 Tumblr Widget, Instagram Feed, JetPack, Really Simple SSL, Regenerate Thumbnails and Remove Category.

Our current design is named Peony, with very special thanks due to 17th Avenue Designs, Pixabay, StudioPress and Unsplash.

All original source/s of articles, images and other resources are always credited and/or linked back, whenever available.

All donations for the upkeep of this blog and its associated sites are very much welcome through PayPal. Feel free to contact me if you have any queries or suggestions.

Shi is a multi-lingual published author, award-winning journalist, blogger, web savant, grad student and master home chef. By trade, she is a finance advisor, international fitness coach and pro shopper. Originally from Philippines, she and her husband have lived in Muscat since October 2007. Their first child, a bouncing baby girl, was born in Oman on April 2016. Please feel free to share some love ♥
