The BEST of Mamapedia Voices 2014
Agree or disagree, you have to admire bloggers. It takes a certain amount of courage to your thoughts out there. And to think, this courage comes with little or NO money, no 401K or bonus plan, health insurance, or even a guarantee of landing softly on the Internet. Most bloggers stay up late, or wake up early each day to share their lives with us for little more than the personal satisfaction of having made a tiny difference. It is brave. And it is a courage born from a passion to write and be heard… no matter the sacrifices.
At Mamapedia we publish daily articles which fall into one of four main catatories: Humor, Opinion, Advice and Inspiration. This is a list of the top 4 blog posts in each catagory. They are the Best of Mamapedia Voices for 2014.
