" Blogging about products for their kids to growing trend for moms across the country but now the Federal Trade Commission considering regulating those mommy blogs."

" To be -- really need to be regulated by the government colleague Padilla is just one of those bloggers moms and she joins us from Philadelphia. Boy Cali you know it's like you have an opinion and now they want to take it away from me they want it. Kind of quiet it down what's story gives here give us your shot point of --"

" I think it's really alarming news because today the Internet it's not digital playground this is that we -- necessary information so it's really valuable. As not back home in navigating motherhood this is how we connect with each other and sharing information about. Products putting your children to sleep. What schools and they egotism this is it really valuable no kidding I mean as a mom myself -- use these blogs a lot of times to see what other moms they didn't. And that's basically all it is and now basically coming. You can get a -- like a lot of trouble you can have a lawsuit filed against you for your opinion if this thing passes with the FTC. Yeah -- was watching it closely. To see what's gonna happen but I think number one thing is that you if there is any kind of in a formal relationship with the company that you're disclosing. What's going on their web sites I think that's the number one thing. That we need to understand is to be chance parent with these product reviews and I'll just be honest and authentic about what we talk. Out and telling you don't it's or doing you'd -- would be the effectiveness for the safety of the products. Yeah I don't I truly you know that I'm not consumer reports and mom -- two children at the three year old -- here all of so it's this is based on my family and us using it while clean light what we'd love and actually talk about I've got over a thousand product reviews on -- and on the dot com. To share information with other new bonds and parents. If they're not like me and I like it they might tip. Right and this is just a place for moms to feel that connection to because we all know how important that is when your home. And you're trying to deal at the screaming kids it's not it's just to see what other -- been given that. I totally awesome and -- really I think experience you know just when when you're on maternity leave or if you do decide to leave your career and stay at home which is what I did. It was a way for -- to have this connection to the outside world but she's just wonderful I've made so many friends that. Learn so much about parenting through eight. But watch out to be -- a lot of trouble this thing passed since real quickly no corporate sponsorships is that is that what are your rules. You know I think it's okay have a corporate sponsors of the key issue here is that that relationship -- disclose when you do do a review our product that sponsor with a company that's sign especially if -- web sites ground many moms are doing. We just even let your readers now and no need to back products that you believe it you know my readers know what to expect they know the kind of things I like. So they know what makes sense for me to talk about -- calling Padilla classy money dot com thanks for your time today."
