can i make money through writing a blog?

I love writing and would like to start a blog, with the hopes it would be successful and I could earn some extra money for it.

I'm no longer going back to work because of having a premature baby (27 weeker), even though he's ok he's really small still (6lb at 4 months old) and is developmentally behind, I know I'm not going to want to leave him. We can just about get by on my husband's wage, but it would be good to make some extra money.

Does anyone have a blog that earns them some money?

I don't have much talent sadly, I know a fair bit about vitamins and supplements bit that seems already done. I'm trying to raise my child in an environmentally friendly way so I thought I would write about that and help other parents make positive changes. Does that sound good enough?

Any recommendations on how to become successful, what site to use and if I should pay for a better one to encourage me to do better?
