Guys, I’m all about being honest. And sometimes (all the time) I’m too honest.
Today, is that day. No one is shocked.
HVFH has been live since April of 2012. When we launched, I seriously thought our concept was original. And it was in a way, because we were “old” AKA – 30ish, and didn’t grow up with blogs. We thought this stuff was new and hip and totally breaking edge.
Turns out, there’s a few others in this online world thinking the same thing. And when I say few, I mean 13 trillion.
OK – that might be an exaggeration, but not really.
Our concept was being done by others who thought their idea was original, too. See where I’m going with this? Upon a bit more research, I have found so many people doing the same thing. Mom blogs, women blogs, blogs about cats, and laundry and crafts and kids and husbands and working moms and stay at home moms, and babies and college girls and old women and…
seriously. So many. So so so so so many.
I mean, it’s exhausting. And if I read or watch one more tutorial on how to make homemade baby food, I might just run down our very kid friendly street, located next to a school, with a bottle of wine in my hand and scream. Clothing, optional. See? I’m going to crazy town.
(Side note: I LIKE homemade baby food and wish I would have made it. I mean, I don’t wish I would have made it, but I wish I would have cared to make it. See? I do care, I just don’t want to see 3,891 posts about it.)
Where are you going with this, Leslie? Don’t you run a blog with tons of women writers contributing on a daily basis? Why yes. Yes I do. Thanks for noticing.
