As Jessica G. said, really only we understand the value of what we're doing -- those with such judgment are either not moms or may be a bit envious of what moms can do online.

I spoke to an editor of a regional but largish paper--trying to pitch the idea of mommy bloggers doing good. Not only Bloganthropy.org, of which I am a founder, but also bloggers on service trips, efforts like Catherine's Give Good Blog, etc. There are TONS of amazing projects out there. But this is just the latest version of if it bleeds it leads...if it sounds entitled, whiny, and frivolous, and mocks women (even better, moms) it headlines the lifestyle or style sections. The writer says she stands by the article...but I really hope that what she submitted had a different tone and the editors chose that awful title.
