10 Reasons Why Moms Should Read Mommy Blogs - Videos

Being a Mom is the best blessing in the world, and at times Moms don’t think so, but it is. Years ago Mommy Blogs were of the type where Moms posted family pictures, shared recipes, did journaling about the family’s day, or family trips etc., but in recent years Mommy Blogs have gained respect, prestige and influence as well as provide an income for the Mom Blogger. Motherhood is challenging and a support system is a must, especially for new mothers. Have you ever heard the phrase, “There’s strength in numbers?” Mommy Blogs provide strength to Moms all over the world. How? Let’s take a look at the value added things that Mom Blogs provide to Moms all over the world. Value added things that give a sense of direction and a sense of calm along with a sense of “Yes, I’m doing things right as a Mom” feeling. Here is a short list of reasons why Moms will benefit from reading Mommy Blogs along with a list of 100 Mommy Bloggers.

1. To connect with other Moms. Here’s a real good example. Suppose you’re married and live overseas with your husband and kids. You’re away from your and his family and your support system is nil. Yes, phone calls home are great, but expensive. You or your family back home do not have webcams so you may see and talk to one another, so you begin to reach out and you find other Moms online, and maybe some in your area – that’s great. You begin to build an overseas connection because there are international Mom Bloggers. Mom Bloggers will sometimes answer comments on their pages, and some will e-mail you back, if possible. If the Mom Blogger’s readership is HUGE then it might be a little difficult for them to return an e-mail. Connecting with other Moms is fun and productive for you and for your family. You may bring something new into your home based on the thoughts, challenges, and experiences of other Moms. You can also provide sound advice to other Moms. You may strike up some lasting friendships as well.

2. Parenting advice – boy, is this necessary, especially for young mothers. Parenting advice will come in different forms such as articles, podcasts, and interviews with other Moms and other parenting experts, in the form of books and/or newsletters. Subscribe to parenting advice columns and newsletters. Moms will share advice through success stories, family challenges, and maybe you’ll be able to submit your own stories which will encourage other Moms.

3. Product reviews – now this will save you money from buying junk. Mommy Blogs are consumer advocates and expound on kid’s movies, adult’s movies, toys, books, clothing, strollers, high chairs, kitchen and bath, items for teenagers, etc. Some Mommy Bloggers specifically blog on certain products like technology products, kids toys, and books.
