OK, not really. It's not like they ever asked me to talk about the whole "Mommy Blogger" phenomenon. Probably because Manic Mommies is not profitable like Dooce (You Go, Girl!) or created by a former software engineer who now makes more money as a blogger than she ever did working for the man. In fact, Kristin and I still work very hard every day at our real jobs. And every day I sit at my desk, trying to balance my love for Manic Mommies and our community of crazy busy moms with my need to bring home the bacon. It's not unlike any artist, writer, or musician you might meet who has a love for their craft, but is unable to make a living doing it. And it's not unlike the moms who are home raising kids every day...the hardest work of all...with no compensation.
Anyway, I say kudos to the moms out there who are doing what they love, and making a living! If you missed the Today Show segment (many of the interviews were conducted at Blog Her Business—I think I saw myself on stage for about one second) it's below. Heather Armstrong did a great job. And Kathie Lee, I have to laugh. I guess little Cody was the one who pulled the plug on her career all those years years ago.
