    FINDING READERS IN A CROWDED ROOM How multi-tasking Mom Bloggers attract audiences inside and outside the parent blogosphere Remember, the person you love is still in there, and they’d love to share their world with you. Be patient, and understand that the blogosphere they enter is entirely real, and actually does make them happier and more productive in the end.

Again. -Alexandra Rosas, Good Day Regular People, from her post “When Someone You Love Has a Blog, Part 1” Alexandra Rosas published her three-part blog post, “When Someone You Love Has A Blog,” to explain to husbands and family members the peculiar habits of Mom Bloggers, a subset of online writers who have become famous, collectively, for engaging thousands of readers with their musings on motherhood and domesticity. Mom Bloggers like Ree Drummond, Heather Armstrong and Kelly Oxford have established lucrative 1 media careers after humble starts writing earnest personal stories for a tiny audience of friends and family. Rosas’ witty series hints at the methodical work, above and beyond writing, that Mom Bloggers do to attract a following. Close to four million women in North America identify as Mommy Bloggers, and about 14 percent of women in the United States read or contribute to these blogs, according to media consumer watchers Nielsen and Arbitron. Women often prefer this personal narrative style of journalism to traditional media.
