I’ve long realized that for many parents who feel deprived of contact–what once would have been sitting around the well, if we lived tribally–the Internet is the true substitute.

Add to that the huge need for parents to feel connected and supported as they raise kids and it’s a recipe for blogs to explode.

An exciting time, for sure.

Great post, I’ve been thinking about blogging for a while, but as a mom to 3 haven’t found the time yet. I’m glad I finally started though, it gives me a daily outlet!

You know, I don’t think it’s that strange. Everyone networks in some way on the net… And mommy blogging is kind of exactly the way woman interact with each other. You can gather a circle of friends who ‘listen’… who don’t mind if you chatter on about stuff that maybe your family doesn’t want to hear… You can be verbose, as um, some woman tend to be. I am.

I don’t know, it makes perfect sense to me…

“Moms have a wealth of material to use” That’s quite an understatement! Who, other than a mom, could be a banker, a chef, a baker, a maid, a bookkeeper, an event planner, a taxi driver, an escort (the list goes on and on) AND still keep a reasonable amount of sanity?!

It’s great to see this niche market finally get the recognition it deserves. There are as many different mommy blogs out there as there are different kinds of women, but it’s pretty clear that the cream of the content will rise to the top and the stars of the momblogosphere will shine and marketers will take note! I was recently voted one of the top 100 British Mummy Bloggers and it’s been amazing to see how many PR companies have come banging on the door since (from the sublime to the ridiculous). However, readers can sniff out a paid promotion a mile off so if a blogger genuinely promotes your product, it’s worth its weight in gold.

Or is it that people are looking for a more authentic experience, and many moms write a great deal of truth in their words, thus making mom blogs popular?

Michelle, great article. I started blogging a few months ago and find it quite liberating. For some odd reason, I find that I share things about myself on my blog that I don’t even share with friends. How weird is that? I am constantly looking for simple solutions for family and home so that’s what I share. I am a follower of your blog as well so thanks for all the helpful tips you provide.

This was a great article. I think that moms like myself choose to blog for another reason not mentioned. Blogging keeps my mind fresh. It means that I am thinking about something other then what time dinner should be, how to pay a bill and who needs to be changed. I think that many mom bloggers are educated women who find that they are stuck in the rut of motherhood. This is a way to express who we really are!

Although today’s moms want to appear as super mom, through their blogs they come to realize they need help from one another and that it’s OK to ask for advice.

I agree!
I just started an LA based Mommy Blog, LACityMom.com and it is going great guns! I think Moms want to hear what other Moms have to say about things, rather than get some manipulated pitch from advertisers.

It’s nice to see people finally standing up and finally noticing us! Not only do we love blogging but getting the chance to share money saving tips and provide giveaways for the Holiday Season to our readers has been such a blessing!What a great topic.
I hope this will make people more aware of what we have to offer!

I completely agree with the article. In fact, I am writing this with my baby on my lap! Well written, to the point and three cheers for mommy bloggers!

I’m with you Debbie. I actually don’t blog much about mummy stuff – ocasionally. But I write heaps about business things and things relating to women in business.

All true- except for you left out alot of topics that mom bloggers blog about! We’re not just blogging about the mommy-girly stuff you mentioned. Don’t forget BUSINESS, technology (yup, many mom bloggers are college educated, with bachelor degrees in computer information science or masters degrees in information technology….) internet marketing (moms and women in general are up and coming in the internet marketing world…)

Mom bloggers and mom business owners are everywhere, in every niche, and we won’t be stopped :)

It’s so great to see that mom blogs are doing so well. They are so real and incredibly inspirational to moms – and people – everywhere. The power of words should never be underestimated and as moms, we continually prove how resourceful, how intellegent, and how determined we are every day!

Thanks for the outlet and the great article. Check out some of our ideas at http://www.empoweringmomblog.com.

This is a great article. I’d love to see more on this subject, particularly what makes a good blog and how to attract and manage advertising for your blog. As a new blogger (any-mom.com), I realize that strong writing and compelling content is a core component of blogging, but what about the other elements of blog management?
