In doing so, I compiled a list of some of my favorite posts about "mommyblogging" as a genre topic for my own research purposes.
My research resource is your research resource.
Want to know why they do it?
How they feel about it?
Who reads them?
Who pitches to them?

What they want from you?
It's here.
