Moms Who Blog

A post from Mom-101 has been circulated around my PR firm in the last few days along with the overwhelming dislike for the term "mommy blogger." Two weeks ago, following a NY Times article on bloggers, a brilliant colleague (as did Mom-101) shared her opinion on our agency's digital blog . All of this attention devoted to the work of blogging by women/moms has really made me think about why I started this blog.

I'm not writing to get free products or make tons of money. I have a successful career in public relations and have enough to worry about with raising my son and maintaining my professional life (and trying to have a personal life). This blog is supposed to be an outlet for me to write and share my thoughts on a wide variety of topics related to my life as a working mother. I'm also a single mother and while I don't think this defines me, it is important to my point of view on topics of parenting and full-time work. I also wanted to write this blog to appeal to women/parents in Dallas. I know there are moms like me all across the country, but I want to bring a local perspective to what I talk about even if I don't do it in every post.

Am I on the right track? I have no idea. Maybe I need the Bloggy Boot Camp mentioned in the articles/blogs. Maybe I just need to talk to the brilliant people in my agency!
