Feature Friday: Mommy's Hangout

The BlogRollers are all about promoting the power of female bloggers and so much of that starts with you. We’ve created our BlogRoll so that we could show you a little linky love and so that others can find you, too. Every week we choose one of you lovely Rollers (via Random.org) for Feature Friday. We believe in promoting and supporting one another and there’s no better way to do that than by shining the spotlight on as many fabulous blogs as possible.

With that said, this week’s Feature Friday blogger is Jennifer from Mommy's Hangout. Once you’ve read her feature, make sure to go show her some love!



Name: Jennifer

Blog(s): Mommy’s Hangout & It’s just simply Unique

How long you’ve been blogging: A little over a year.

Tell us the 30 second skinny about your blog and give us links to three of your own favorite posts.
My blog consists of a little of everything! My rants, raves, product reviews and giveaways and my 5 year old daughter who really thinks she is a princess. (Which is driving my family CRAZY!)

Three of my favorite post would be:

Princess Jada HAS TO GO! I want my baby back NOW! ( The Princess has pushed the limits)

Mommy’s Hangout is changing…PR and readers PLEASE TAKE NOTE! (Taking the stand and bringing my blog back for ME)

I am the First Color of Choice at Blogs her color!! (Finding woman of color blogs and supporting each other)

What inspired you to start blogging?
I wanted to meet other moms like me. I also had this big dream that I wanted to be the next “big review/giveaway blogger” which I learned real fast that wasn’t for me!

How has blogging changed your life?
I have made some great friendships that I will always cherish. Blogging has allowed me to find other’s that are dealing with the same issues I am. Being a work @ home mom can be very isolated and lonely so the blogging world helps ease that.

What do you wish someone would’ve hipped you to when you started your blog?
HANDS DOWN I would say… PRODUCT REVIEWS AND GIVEWAYS ARE NOT ALL IT’S cracked up to be and to KNOW MY WORTH!

Spread the love; name three blogs in your reader.

Renée @ Cutie Booty cakes! (She rocks)

Nicole @ help mama remote ( Funny and Very supportive)

Sheliza @ mom Files (Sweetest Person ever)

Ok I know you said 3 But I can’t leave out Kristile @ Little tech girl (everyone needs to have her in their reader)
 
Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!
