You've heard about this, right? Just so you know, I found this really cool video over at Role Mommy's place -- because, you know, we mom blogger types talk and like to share stuff online -- take a look at Classy Mommy on Fox & Friends as she discusses the potential FTC regulations on mom bloggers:
Bang on, right?
My take on the government regulating mom/review blogs, like mine:
I've NEVER claimed myself to be an expert of anything other than being able to listen to several conversations, at once.
I'm just a mom, who happens to enjoy writing about stuff that my family likes, or hasn't broken (yet) and sharing MY OPINIONS on stuff that perhaps makes life a little easier for families (like mine) makes me feel good...period.
Next, the government will be telling us how and where to spend our money...oh, wait...nevermind.

I am SO with you!!! Colleen did a great job on this interview, too. I hadn't seen it yet.
I honestly don't know how the government would begin to regulate this any way. I think they have far more pressing issues to solve!

I totally agree with you too. This is all a lot of hype, the government trying to regulate our conversations with friends. What will be next? Monitoring the coffee talk at playgroup?
