Interview with “Metropolitan Mama”

“Metropolitan Mama”

http://metropolitanmama.blogspot.com

Blogging has allowed me to meet so many incredible women who are an inspiration to me. I love the “relational” aspect of blogging - it’s such a great way to connect with people from all over the world.

I started blogging in January 2007, 3 1/2 months after my daughter was born as a way to connect with other moms, to share my experiences, to learn new things, and to figure out my writing niche.

Sample Topics:
* Fitness
* Fashion
* Freebies
* Labor & Delivery
* Pregnancy
* Sleep Solutions
* Healthy eating/recipes
* Breastfeeding
* Book Reviews
* Product Reviews
* Working Motherhood (P.S. All moms are working moms!)
* Contests and Giveaways

A. Read and comment generously on other blogs.
B. Write high-quality posts every day (or at least every other day).
C. Use photos in your posts.

I blog seven days a week in my home office or in my living room or in my bedroom - especially during naptime and after bedtime. Watch for late night postings.

Too much!

No, I generally find new blogs to read through blogs I already read (either by browsing blog rolls or the blogs of commenters).

No, but I’m one of the new editors for Sk*rt, a great site to help women be “in the know” about the latest and greatest things happening on the web.
