1. She brought in her own personal addiction by sharing the irony of it by saying how she was a depressed, overworked Ph.D. student along with her friends. By bringing in her own situation you relate to her feelings. You also get a better view as to how she interacts with the mommy blogs in contrast to her life.
2. Throughout the writing she is constantly labeling the blogs and the bloggers live's with word like adorable, lovely, old fashioned, comforting, easy going, happy and many others. The use of the descriptive words helps you to imagine what the blogs are like. Like I said earlier, it sets up a contrast with the feelings in the world today which are harsh, sad, judgmental and definitely not comforting.
3. She brings in the counter argument saying that they're dishonest in the way they portray married life, raising kids, and just being a mom. She taps into the pressures of being a mom in Utah and how many feel the pressure to be perfect in all they do. She turns the counter argument to her favor however because she uses it to highlight the bloggers in such a way that you see them as human and choosing to see the positive side in life. This helps the reader to further relate to her argument as to why the blogs are a great thing.
