A Blog You Need to Read

Posted on October 16, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff |

I have been following a blog called Because I Said So for a couple of months now and it is absolutely hilarious. Then today, I finally got to read an interview by ABC with the owner, Dawn.  It was great. If you have any interest in Mommy bloggers, go check it out!

Because I Said So follows the exploits and adventures of six rambunctious kids (who sound a lot like Dorian, times 6) and their worn to a nub mom. She has a great writing style and frankly, I´m pretty jealous of her. See, Dawn was a little mom blogger like me for a while and then she tried to sell a pack of Pokemon cards on eBay.

That doesn´t sound too exciting, but she wrote this great story up about how her kids snuck the pack of cards into her cart when she wasn´t looking and she accidentally bought them. The auction instantly became popular and tens of thousands of people flocked to read it. She put up her blog address and BAM! Instant traffic.

So now, according to her interview, she gets 30,000 visits a day and is earning $4,000 a month. I am SO jealous. But she really does deserve it, because her writing is WAY better than mine . . . not to mention a toddler and a baby just don´t compare to six active kids. :D But I have to say that if I could earn even $1,000 a month, we´d be living large down here, thanks to the exchange rate!
