I don't think any social media experts could have predicted anything close to what has happened with the "Mommy Blogs." It is kinda-sorta like the old pen-pals, but so much more depth because of the often-times daily, and sometimes instant, connection with news or a funny story or asking for a prayer. I know that my heart is attached to both Heather and Beth... Perfect post!!!! The friendships and sisterhood that have evolved from blogging is nothing short of miraculous.
