Mommy Blogging

Blogging is new to me. Even reading blogs is something I only started doing in the past few months - it all started while I spent hours and hours on the couch nursing and holding Alex with a laptop by my side. And what is amazing to me is just how many blogs there are out there, and how many Moms are blogging.

I just came across an article that addresses this very issue. It highlights how many Moms are using blogs to change the face of motherhood.

I think the best thing about Mommy Blogging is that it is providing a forum for women to be completely open about their experiences and struggles as Moms. I am a firm believer that by sharing experiences we all become more aware that we are normal. Talking about postpartum depression helps other Moms to recognize it in themselves. Talking about how hard breastfeeding can be helps other Moms know that they are not alone in finding it hard. We need to do more of this type of open sharing and if blogs give us a forum to do so, I think that is fantastic!
