This week I have a special guest, Jennifer James from Mom Bloggers Club. I originally invited Jennifer to join me to share tips from her article ‘How to Become an A-List Mom Blogger‘ – but to be honest, I got a little distracted
Talking with Jennifer was a little like having coffee with a friend from the office. I’m really pleased to have had the opportunity to get to know her and look forward to having her back on the show in the future.
We talked about mom review blogs, sponsorship, events and more. Listen in and share your opinions here on the blog!


I had such a great time with you yesterday. Can’t wait to do another. Thank you for putting me on your podcast.
Jennifer James´s last blog post..My Grand Opening Giveaway!
Jennifer, thanks so much for being my guest!
I actually don’t mind a Mom blog having a review or two on the main blog here and there. And with blogs like naturemoms.com/blog where I’m learning about things (it isn’t about her daily Mom life per say, but rather how to be green) I love and appreciate reviews.
What I don’t get are all the many many blogs just for reviews. I’m surprised they have a large following. I don’t like going to a blog full of reviews and only reviews. And what makes one better than another? Maybe if more Moms would pick a niche and create a review blog around that one niche then I’d be more apt to follow that type of review blog.
My two cents on review blogs.

If you just created one it can take a little while for it to propogate
Okay. That explains it. Hopefully. :–)

Great podcast.
I think many of the review bloggers do it because of the potential of free products and nothing more. A lot of the review bloggers have great giveaways so I assume that is why they have a big following. Just some thoughts.
Looking forward to hearing from Jennifer on this podcast again.

Nell, thank you for pointing out what I also noticed, there are so many mommy blogs full of reviews! I was very surprised about that once I looked at other blogs for research (I just started my own, no cute name, just DagmarBleasdale.com). I want to be a resource for other moms, not just a mom who tries to sell them something! And what is up with “awarding” each other awards?
