Blessings Abound




I have to admit—I have been a very sheltered blog reader, but to be fair to myself—I think the web creates that ability to filtered out unwanted or maybe just unrequested sites. So when I started to toss my search engine net out wider to explore in the Marketing Mommy Blogger sea I found something I really was not looking for. Like Jesus teaching people to fish—my net came back full of Christian Consumerism. I had a feeling it was all connected...and apparently I was right. WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) is clip coupons, stay at home with lots of kids, enter giveaways and make the perfect ribs using a slow cooker and a can of Coke.

I know...scary, but it is true. It is whole different world out there. NYC is not the rest of the country and let me tell you—the NYC rules do not apply out there. I think the epitome of this type of Mommy Marketing blog—is Blessings Abound.

http://www.akblessingsabound.com/about/

This is a site of a mom who is Blessed to live in Alaska with her best friend husband and their four (home-schooled) kids, one name Liberty. She has a “passion for product reviews” and “hosting blessings” which I believe are giveaways...but my innate fear of religion stops me from clicking through to investigate further.
I know people must go to this site, but who are they and what are they getting from it? No one can really believe the product reviews since they are sponsored by the companies...
I know there must be better sites out there for moms marketing to moms. My search continues.
