Sarah Palin Causes Stir on Mom Blogs
Sunday, September 7, 2008
Leave it to a woman named to the Republican ticket to cause quite a stir among mom bloggers. Many wonder how in the world could Sarah Palin successfully balance being vice president of the most powerful country on the planet and help raise five children, one who happens to be 17 and pregnant and another who has special needs. And other moms see Sarah Palin as the right woman this country needs to push forward women's and mothers' issues. The LA Times says mom blogs were buzzing about Palin and the Richmond Times says stay-at-home mom bloggers are talking more about politics these days than potty-training.
In other mom blogging news: The Biz Reports talks about how to cash in on the mom bloggers craze and the furniture industry interviews Maria Bailey of BSM Media to find out how furniture execs and companies can best leverage the value of starting a conversation with mom bloggers. And, finally, the New York Times wrote a piece about mom bloggers who came together virtually to help a mom blogger and her husband who were in a plane accident.

Mom Bloggers in the News
Wednesday, September 3, 2008
As often as possible we will post round-ups of mom bloggers who have made it to the news. Although there have already been many, many news stories about moms who blog in the news, we think it's a good idea to keep a running tab for posterity's sake and also to share the good news about how influential our genre of blogs really is.- On Monday, reporters at the New York Times wrote an article about mothers' reactions to Sarah Palin and mentioned UrbanMamas is their coverage. Urban Mamas was noticed by the reporters because of a heated conversation about the Republican Vice Presidential pick's mothering style. She went back to work three days after having her fifth child who has special needs.
- If you haven't heard yet, Wal-Mart tapped 11 influential mom bloggers to vlog about ways to save money. They received a flip camera and will visit the Wal-Mart corporate headquarters in October. None were paid by Wal-Mart, but each hopes that this opportunity turns into more opportunities and increased traffic to their sites. Read more here.
- Lifetime Networks acquired ParentsClick network, home of MothersClick and the Mom Blog Network. Read more.
