Now that their niche is being killed off by the rise of softly filtered 'lifestyle blogging', mommy bloggers are seeking new ways to stay relevant. Well now they can cling to a last shred of possible fame by applying to join the cast of a mommy blogger reality show. A major cable television network and an award-winning television production company are on a nationwide search for Mom bloggers to feature on a new docuseries. The call claims the "ideal candidate should be an active blogger with a big personality and a family who feels comfortable sharing its journey and experiences",...

Dooce, irrelevant, evidently went to the Problogger event and "told the audience how soul destroying it was to do sponsored posts". She told people who had paid to come and wanted to hear the "Queen of Mommyblogging" talk about how to monetize a blog that the "only way that you can make money in the States is through sponsored content". She then proceeded to call writing sponsored posts "a gruelling experience" and declared personal blogging dead. While at Problogger, where she complained about doing sponsored posts, she bravely confronted the soul sucking task of posting what appears to be a sponsored Target instagram. She then went...

Those following the Doocevorce have some new Sad Jon fodder to parse and puzzle over. Shortly after Dooce instagrammed that a relaxing moment with a beer was "Missing only one ingredient for total perfection" and began posting love songs, Mr. Dooce crafted one of his trademark "14 year old girl on facebook makes you guess the meaning" posts: (more…)

Mikayla Nogueira continues to blow through her money. Just months after her half a million dollar wedding, she has bought herself her 'dream car' - a BMW M4 convertible priced around $100,000.

Project Babies' Kristin, political expert, has made it clear how she decides her position on political issues in the past. Now she's defending her devotion to Romney in terms we can all understand: You heard right - social issues are simply not important if people can't afford valet parking at the mall. When a few of her followers tried to tell her that social issues were just as important as her being able to take vacations in France and buy "Latino-inspired" outfits for her baby to attend festivals, she schooled them but good: As folks continued trying to explain to...

Jenna Cole, open minded and accepting, is using twitter to alert her fans to an atrocious new form of racism: hating Magic Mormon Undies. When her twitter followers pointed out that a religious belief is hardly on par with bigotry against genetics, Jenna attempted to sound intelligent: @hernewleaf No no, the author wasn't implying that Mormonism is a race. The idea is that we mock people who wear "backwards" clothing b/c we...associate that kind of thing with other cultures/races who are uneducated and somehow "less than"...This sentence was key for me: rather, mockery of Mormon temple garments as “magic underwear” could...

Here's a little heads up for  mommy blogger Jess Gatlyn of Boho Baby Bump - some people are calling her out for the way she began her blog.  It seems way back in 2010 she put up a post announcing her intention to "quest for boho/vintage/jess style from bump, to baby and beyond". Supposedly she shops on Etsy, and is even starting an Etsy store to sell "dollies". So you'd think she would have noticed that the image she chose to use on her post was for a product up for sale on Etsy: While the post is over two years old, the Etsy...

Mommy blogger Katie Granju, of mamapundit, has practically based a career on the unfortunate and untimely death of her son Henry. She has managed to use that tragedy to some good, starting "Henry's Fund to bring awareness to drug addiction. There is even a race scheduled this weekend, May 5, which will benefit Henry's Fund. Unfortunately mom Katie won't be attending the race. Because she's still reeling from the recent anniversary of Henry's death? Perhaps, but that's not the reason she has given. It's because Katie will be busy at the Versace Mansion in Florida, attending the Mom 2.0 Summit....
