Another Take on Mommy Blogging


I have always been a fan of women who share their lives via their blogs, particularly the subset of "Mommybloggers." I got to hear from some fantastic mommy bloggers at Blogher. I realized just today I know another group of amazing mommy bloggers on the March of Dimes - Share Your Story site.

Last week we (Lee, the March of Dimes and yours truly) launched a site redesign which enables any user to start their own blog. Take a look at the amazing stories these women are writing. They are writing about their experiences of having a premature baby or a baby who has to spend time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)). Look at the comments. I hope a few dads start blogs as well, to bring their perspectives. (A fantastic daddyblogger is Snowdeal, dad of Odin who was also born prematurely. I'm in love with Odin - what a beeyouteeful kid!)

This particular community also exhibits many of those "community indicators" I've been blabbing about.

Wow what a wonderful site. I read their stories and it brought me back to my own incident, mine didn't have an happy outcome.

I'm so glad this is there for those women to share their stories.It's so important to be heard.

Michele, thanks for reading their stories. I'm blown away every day. They are an incredible community.

I went and read some of your blog today. Oh, Michele, your words are so powerful. I almost felt as if you were telling me your story. I hope that that your path unrolls and fulfills your dreams, even the ones you don't know yet.

This is why blogging matters. After http://www.blogher.org I'm also seeing it particularly through the eyes of women.

Thanks
