I'm a wife, mommy and spa owner. I've always been a quiet blogger, blogging after having an epiphany or a nice thought that I felt was important to just "put out there." I am not sure if I even have readers as I have minimal spare time to blog and since blogging when epiphany hits is not usually a daily occurrence, any readers I may have might want a little more frequent content…..but in my mind ~ it is just nice to have a place to say something. ( I blog at Zaneology.com). The web provides us all with a place to find common ground, be ourselves, find ourselves, learn and look up a quick recipe for Easy Potato Soup. (What I do each time I make it! LOL). My most recently discovery is Twitter ~ I didn't realize how much I needed to connect and expand. I equate Twitter to going to a vintage clothing shop that has already picked all the best items out of the thrift stores so everything you have to choose from is stellar. I love the links to articles, the tech news, the daily news, the witty commentary and the speed at which it all moves and gets RT (ReTweeted), etc. It's even how I found your blog….and, yes….I am a MILT! Currently #3 on the Shorty Awards Leader Board. Top 5 move into finals on January 1, with winners of key categories giving 140 character speeches. How fun! Thank you for your article, I am inspired to blog a little more...beyond epiphany and my daily Twitter micro blogging. Simon, this article is wonderful. I’m a wife, mommy and spa owner.

A couple of years ago, I presented to some sales ideas to a group of "momtrepreneurs", some of which were personal friends. They are a tight bunch, and it's great to see your thoughts about that here. Great post – I like what you say about Mommy blogs be in it for the sharing info and not to “one-up” one another.

But I am now again a "mommy" and I blog so yeah, I'm a mommy blogger and I don't step back from controversy. I DO say it like it is. My audience is an unusual blend of parents, small biz profs and marketing gurus so ya just never know. And MILT? well I hope I'm one!

Now I am just all over that acronym. YOU are right on with this post. I rarely call myself a "mommy blogger" because I think I don't post the traditional diapers/scrapbooking/cute pair of shoes stuff on my blog, but I'm a seasoned Mom (24 years now) so I think I can relate to the daily toils of other women. As far as business goes, I know a fair bit about that as well and the "education" you get as a Mom teaches you how to be a great business woman, whether you work outside the home or not. Great post.
