The author of this story reports for NPR, which is where I heard a snippet of this article. I write my blog for far-away friends and family who want updates on the adventures of our family. I struggle sometimes with the desire to post my opinions about events, politics, religion, etc., but so far I've chosen to keep it light and simple. Perhaps one day I'll delve into the Universe of My Strong Opinion, but in my neurotic need to be generally liked (or at least not hated), I have so far refrained for fear of offending my 3 readers. I save my opinions for my poor husband and my friends within earshot--lucky them!--but who knows? Maybe I'll decide to lay it all out there one day and you will all get an earful.
One thing is certain: Moms are a powerful market force. We talk to each other a lot and value other moms' opinions. We buy stuff. We often buy EXPENSIVE stuff if we think it will make our children safer, happier, healthier or cleaner. There is a whole world of moms who buy the hip colored strollers, the preciously monogrammed dress, the custom-made cakes. (I'm not judging, I am often one of them!) So this mommy blogger thing is big--and has the potential to be bigger. So keep your eye on us (well, them?). Women may yet change the world, one poopy diaper story at a time!
