15 BEST BLOGS FOR MOMS
These are some of my favorite parenting blogs and in my opinion are some of the best blogs for moms out there. Each of them helps focuses on a different area, and even if it isn’t what you need right now, it might be later. I really encourage you to start building up your ‘parenting toolkit.’ Start a favorites bar and save the sites you love. Being a mom can get hectic, and finding great sources of info online and amazing communities to connect with can make a huge difference.
MEDICAL STUFF
One of the biggest worries for parents can be all the medical questions that arise. After all, pregnancy and birth is a massive biological change for your body, and then at the end of it you have a whole new human to care for! Luckily, Mama Doctor Jones is on hand with tips and advice for lots of the most common medical questions that pop up. The info is high-quality, educational and research-driven, making this a great resource for parents.
PARENTING GEAR
It can be so difficult as a new parent to know exactly what to buy (or not to buy) for your kids. Which things essential and which aren’t, what kind should you buy, and the big question- how much should you spend? If this is you then you will love Lucie’s List. They have the ultimate list of shopping guides for parents. From baby-proofing to setting up nurseries, feeding to sleeping, they have ideas and recommendations for all your parenting supplies.
TRAVEL
Travelling with kids is a lot of parents worst nightmare. However, after travelling full time with kids for 6 years, World Travel Family has amazing tips and resources to make it that little bit smoother. They cover vacations, long term travel, adventure travel, budget, luxury, group tours, and more challenging destinations, making them the ultimate travel resource for parents!
TECHNOLOGY
Technology is an area that affects every child, and as a result, parenting! Tech Savvy Mama is all about parenting in the digital age, and empowers parents to foster a love of science, technology, engineering, and math in their children.
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
There are countless niche sites available for any hobby or interest imaginable that your child might be into. It’s impossible to cover even a tiny fraction, but these are just five of my favorites.
Science Kids is packed with experiments and fun facts that make science cool.
For kids interested in animals and nature, the National Geographic Kids’ Site is really worth exploring.
Cooking With Kids is an awesome resource with recipes, videos, and activities that will ignite your child’s love of food and get them excited to be in the kitchen!
Want to make a DIY kite, piñata, or Christmas Cards? In the Playroom has an amazing craft section that will give you piles of craft ideas to keep your kids busy and develop their creative side!
For kids who love reading, there are lots of online resources. StoryPlace is great for preschoolers, while Read.gov is a great place for school aged kids and also includes author webcasts, writing contests, and extensive book lists.
PREGNANCY
If you want support or info about a) getting pregnant, b) being pregnant, or c) after being pregnant, then Pregnant Chicken could be the best resource for you. This site tackles the big questions- from problems with IVF to sex after pregnancy. It answers the questions that never get asked aloud!
CHILD SAFETY
Keeping kids safe is more complicated than ever before. NSPCC can help. While this charity is known best for tackling child abuse, they actually support all parents and families to keep their children safe. They provide advice on a range of topics, from children’s mental health to staying safe online, and where to find more support.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Love That Max is all about a mom’s journey in parenting a child with special needs and providing support to other special needs moms. If you are in this position, then this blog might be a place you can connect and feel a little less alone. This is one of the most encouraging blogs for moms who might otherwise feel super isolated and alone.
BILINGUAL PARENTING
43% of the world’s population are bilingual, and 13% are trilingual, so bilingual parenting is a hot topic for the parents of more than 12 million kids in the US alone. Bilingual Kidspot is the one of best blogs for moms raising bilingual or multilingual kids. It’s packed with tips for bilingual parenting, and includes expert advice and language resources.
GRIEF

It’s based on a mutual support model and includes an online magazine, online support groups, local meet-ups, outreach and education.
