Let’s start a Carnival of Mommy Bloggers! First carnival will be Tuesday November 4th!

A carnival is basically a blogging event and The Carnival of Mommy Bloggers will take place every two weeks and feature recent posts from the best of the mommy blogger community.

More details are on A Modern Mother

This is how it works: every two weeks a different mommy blogger “hosts” the carnival. The blogger community submits posts. The rules are one post per blogger and it must be something written in the past two weeks.

The host blogger then compiles the carnival entry post from their pick of the top 25 (can be first 25 submitted, or best 25, but we need to cap it or it will get unwieldy). The post links to all the full posts, and all of the submitters in return post that “The Carnival of Mommy Blogger Carnival is up” with a short write-up and link to the Carnival.

This is a great way to create traffic and link love to all sites involved. I’ve seen it work really well for HR blogs.

I volunteer to organize this and will do the first post. I will keep the schedule on A Modern Mother.

The first Carnival of Mommy Bloggers will be Tuesday 4th November on A Modern Mother. Please send entries to me at amodernmother (at) gmail (dot) com to be included!

The Best of the Mommy Bloggers Carnival is up, check it out!

The next one is November 11, check the schedule if you want to be included.
I will understand if it is too late and will chime in the next time, This is a great Idea

Also if you get a lot of participants, you could segment or focus the carnival, like to "lifestyle" or "fitness" "moms mean business" or basically niche them.

Heres my post
I started a blog carnival once and utilized the widgets at blogcarnival.com -- they make it very easy!

I ended up turning over my carnival to someone else to run..it's still going...I just didn't have time for it any more.

Pick one post....I cannot imagine which one of mine....I've been blogging for too long.
I would love to be a part of this. I am a new blogger so this will give me feed back on my posts, traffic, comments and maybe subscribers. I'm so excited.
The next carnival is November 18 at Under the Big Blue Sky. Please email entries to jistvan1 (at) yahoo (dot) com
This is such a great idea! Thanks for organizing it. I've always wondered about blog carnivals. Can't believe all that I learn on this site.
This sounds interesting.. how do go about it?
Are you going to do another one? I just missed it.
The Nov. 18th edition is up at Under the Big Blue Sky, take a look ladies...
I thought you did a great job with it. I've posted about it and have commented on many of the featured blogs. Power to mommy bloggers!
