I have been blogging for four years now. Having the word "mommy" in my blog title, being co-editor/founder of Mommybloggers.com, being one of the editors of BlogHer's very own Mommy & Family section as well as being on their first mommyblogging panel, I feel I am pretty qualified to make observations about mommyblogging.

Over the years, mommybloggers have been accused of being everything from being boring and fluffy--lacking substance-- to narcissistic and self-absorbed. Actually, I find that to be the exception rather than the rule. I read many, many mommyblogs every week. Rarely--if ever-- do I leave a blog without a story. A story about a family, a person, a child or a life that has been changed. Every person has a story to tell-- if you can get past the preconceived stereotypes that the word "mommyblogger" may have lodged in your head.
