HELP! I Want To Be a Mommy Blogger

106 views 4 Comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Ok, so by now you know that I am not a typical mommy blogger. However, my friend, Dr Mommy, thinks I would be great at doing reviews. I am getting books to review and I am even doing some reviews on things to help mom relax. I will be starting those soon and would love to do some more. Here is my dilemma…

Mom Unplugged is not a normal Mommy Blog. I don’t do the Wordless Wednesdays like Ionce did, I don’t talk about other contests, etc, and I really am just not very “mommy blog” centered. Don’t get me wrong, I love moms – shoot I am one – but I don’t follow the crowd. I am just me!

My other problem is that this blog talks about some deep stuff and that is what most of my readers look forward to. I hit topics that many won’t on their mom blogs. I love what I write about and really don’t want to divert from it at all.

The cool thing is that I have done a number of reviews for some of the magazines I have written for as well as for Vegan Family Living (my old blog that hubby is taking over – supposedly) and I do enjoy writing about what I like.

So do I stick to book reviews only or do I branch out into true mommy blogger status?

Do I create another blog just for my reviews or just doing them here?

How do I get started with doing reviews?

Can someone help a sister out?

I say do the reviews right here. That way when folks come to your blog to see the reviews, they will be able to read the whole blog.

I prefer blogs that cover a lot of topics, from the personal to the soul searching and beyond – makes it a lot more interesting.

If you do decide to start reviews on this blog, my only piece of advice is to not the let the reviews take over. It is so easy to do. But I do think reviews in your topic would be good and I always love reading book reviews.

Thank you ladies!

Cee Cee, I think there needs to be some variety too.

Courtney, I am going to try and limit myself to 2 reviews per week and 1 contest every other month. I don’t want this blog to lose its flavor or reason for being.
