Who reads this blog?
Primarily moms. They span the entire age range from early twenties to empty nesters. They hail from over 100 countries and are faith-based women looking for encouragement that what we do matters – especially because we moms spend so much of our time between dishes and dirty laundry, carpool and cubicles.
Since Lisa-Jo launched the blog is 2009, it has grown into a community of women the world over who can relate to her honest take on motherhood and ability to laugh at herself and learn out loud from her parenting mistakes. Lisa-Jo’s readers are interactive, funny, compassionate, helpful, encouraging and are tremendous cheerleaders of her and one another.
For example, in 2014, Lisa-Jo’s blog readers raised over $50,000 for an initiative in her homeland of South Africa to build a water point, laundry center, vegetable garden, playground and community center for a community of 250 orphans and vulnerable children and their caretakers.
And in January 2015, Crystal Paine of Money Saving Mom traveled with Lisa-Jo to introduce her own blog readers to the project and on Valentine’s Day weekend 2015, their combined blogs raised $12,000 by inviting readers to become project partners at $10/month for a year.
How big is this blog’s influence?
