What?! WHAT DRAMA. I AM TOTALLY DRAMA FREE. Yep, no drama here. None at all. Move along, nothing to see here.

Thanks for your reply. And I understand what you are saying about the relationship between mom bloggers. I get it, I really do. My question is, at what point do you stop being a writer and start being the web version of the Avon lady?

This whole thing will do BlogHer NO favors, they don't see it yet, but they will.

Oh please, that's EXACTLY who will end up on the show. And the blogging community will tear itself apart choosing sides.

I totally get you. And I get really upset when people create businesses to take money from bloggers (PAY US AND FIND OUT HOW TO MAKE YOUR BLOG BETTER). Believe me, I am looking forward to BlogHer mainly to see other people who I have only talked with online.

PS…not all mom bloggers are blood thirsty sharks. A few have given the thousands a bad name. And I've seen PLENTY of drama within other niches of blogging. Just sayin'.

Welp…I have the best of all worlds. I blog about sex, fashion, being a mom of 7, social media and so much more. I see why non-”mommy bloggers” feel slighted but having worked with many companies in marketing, I understand why they target the mom niche. Moms have the power of the dollar. They make most purchasing decisions and the actual purchases themselves, if you look at statistics and consumer reports. When I blog about my kids, I talk about the messes, the stresses and imperfections of motherhood. People do find that interesting, hence shows like Kate Plus 8. So while I see value in all types of blogging, I understand why mom bloggers are being courted so heavily by the media.
And BlogHer is not the be all, end all of blogger conferences. There are tons of them out there. It just happens to be the biggest and that is why the first round of casting is being done there. They are also coming to LA and accepting online submissions as well. Just a little FYI.
Have a great day!
