Who's your mommy?

Check out Mommybloggers, a new blog launched Friday by the same trio who spearheaded the Mommyblogging discussion at BlogHer Conference '05: Jenn Satterwhite, Jenny Lauck and Meghan Townsend. In their "What we are all about" section, the trio writes:

"Mommybloggers wants to open eyes and change minds about the writers who call themselves "Mommyblogger" or those who have been called --or marginalized into the category of-- Mommybloggers.

"Love the term or hate it, Mommybloggers are here to stay. And mom by mom, we are changing our world!"

The site's first act is a profile of Grace Davis, whose blogging with Victoria Powell (see Hurricane Katrina Direct Relief! and Family to Family) has literally changed the world for a number of families affected by this natural disaster.

With this mission and their first posts (not to mention that hot-legs graphic!), Mommybloggers looks like it's off to a great, stereotype-busting start.

There's lots of other mommyblogger news that's come out in the past month -- such as Dooce's redesign with ads (I say go girl) and, last month the Spot-on relaunch featuring mommyblogger Deborah Klosky in Chris Nolan's stable-o-bloggers. What other mommyblogger news should BlogHers be aware of? Bring it on--links and comments -- below. Thanks.

Hi Lisa - Among other things (of course), I'm a mommy who blogs and the Stories of Strength anthology is out!! The website, www.storiesofstrength.com, has a thermometer on it to see how much its raised for hurricane relief disaster. Free pdf files of the book are available for those who can write reviews of it, and in just over one week, it's become the #61 all time bestseller on www.lulu.com!

I'll send you a press release under separate cover, but there are many mommy bloggers included in the anthology.

Thanks. :)

Not exactly mommy-blogging, but infertility bloggers have been shaking things up.

Most recently: In Indiana a bill was proposed to make it a requirement that couples wishing to use donor sperm or eggs be married and obtain a permit to be allowed to do it. After the story made it's way around the infertility blogs and an e-mail campaign followed, she withdrew the bill stating the issue was more complex than originally thought. How's that for the power of blogging? My post on the subject is here: http://www.jennsjournal.net/archives/2005/10/license_to_repr.php

Thanks for the shout-out, Lisa and gang! We love our BlogHers. I also love hearing about what else is going on in the world of mommyblogging.

Keep up the excellent work with BlogHer, ladies!
