A what? A SAHM- a stay-at-home-mum!
If one is to believe Sophie Blanc writing in "The stay at home mummy blogger" in The Age newspaper, there is more than a quiet revolution underway in the 'burbs around the world.
"I am struck by how we, particularly mummy bloggers, are not only discovering a vast creative potential in ourselves, but also how even as physical communities are diminishing, with neighbours no longer looking out for each other, or even knowing their names, in an online world, the opposite is happening - doors are being opened, connections that would never have been possible before are being made, friendships deeper than ‘real life’ friendships are being formed.
Blogging is a hugely powerful influencer of people’s spending habits, their family culture, their parenting, their mindset. It is an extraordinary phenomenon. Those who would, in the past, have done extraordinarily things that had gone unnoticed by the world at large, now find notoriety, be it positive or negative, as their work goes viral.
Borders are crashing silently around us and yet, those who don’t blog, who still see blogging as the domain of political ranters and cynical radio journalists or politicians trying to boost their ratings, are completely unaware of the social revolution that is taking place around them and of what it might hold for them."
