>Don’t Mind Me… I’m Just Aggressively Promoting My Brand.
>I’ll follow up the Great Mommyblogging 2.0 Debate with some fabulous links for you all to savor this weekend.
First off, the whole mom blog/ marketing debate was on a lot of bloggers’ minds this week. Mom 101, Motherhood Uncensored, City Mama, Meagan Francis, Send Chocolate, and A Mommy Story all wrote about various apects of it. Check them out- and if you wrote a post on the issue and you’d like a link, let me know and I’ll add you to the list.
Second, my favorite Backtalk yet debuted this week. It’s all about Sex and the Mommyblogger and it’s well worth checking out, in my opinion. Here, I’ll make it easy for you.

Third, (still there?) I wrote a post for Backtalk with links to several of the posts we loved and didn’t manage to get into the show. Be sure and check them out. They include some AWESOME Facebook flame wars and my favorite sex post EVER WRITTEN.
>Lindsay, I agree with you ladies. I’d get a kick out of reading sex posts on other people’s blogs, but I’m not really comfortable posting about the topic myself. I’d probably have to create a separate blog for that! My one and only blog was designed to keep extended family “posted” on our lives, since we all live in different states. I wouldn’t really want my father-in-law reading about how my 6-year-old walked in on my husband and me recently and asked if she could join the “Naked Party.” She thought she had discovered something very exciting that she definitely needed to be a part of. I distracted her by saying that she and little sis could have a naked party in the bathtub instead.Shawnashawna-mygirls.blogspot.com
>I loved your post on parents.com about your daughter breaking away. My oldest is four as well and she’s starting to do the same thing at bathtime. It shocked me a little to see my baby turn into a little girl practically overnight! I wish I could go back to 2 or 3 as well, when she called me Mommy and not Mom, when she liked to snuggle in the mornings while we watched cartoons. Ugh. The days are long, but the years are so short…Rhondahttp://knittingirl.typepad.com
>I remember reading (somewhere) about a mom who wished we had a way of recording “lasts”. The last time your baby nursed to sleep, the last time your daughter needed the extra goodnight kiss-the butterfly kind. All those little rituals that slowly disappear and you can’t really remember when the last one was.
>I came back here to leave my comment because I didn’t want to “log in” or whatever at the paper. Either way, I knew this was coming on the blogging front. It’s been a slow process but I could see it coming. I personally would love the attention, but I prefer to write sentences like “I don’t know what that word means because it ain’t in the dixtuhnery” and I think it’s funny…marketers…no so muchAnyway, my biggest hang up now is that twitter is no longer fun like it was at first. Every other tweet is a marketer of some kind. Even the folks that I know and that I’ve chatted with the whole time I’ve been on twitter are now retweeting others tweets to gain popularity or they are posting links to other folks sites to gain popularity, crap, I just wanna talk, like in a chat room, like it was about 7 or 8 months ago…..Blogs took a long time to evolve into the marketing thing in my opinion, but twitter, crap people just grabbed it by the horns and tore it to pieces quickly.I want to add that you are a really beautiful lady and I left the carnival before the cheeseburger party because I am a complete wuss and can’t take the late nights…that and my foot felt like it might rot off…see I don’t know how to censor my writing and market folks want censorship quite often…oh well, that’s all I have to say, hahaha all, as if
>Lindsay, I wrote a post about the whole Mommy Blogger 2.0 thing. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s you.Check it out and tell me what you think? Blog-What? (Or Why I Will Never Be An A-list Blogger And That And $3 Will Get You A Cup Of Coffee)T.
