2020 Top Momy Blogs
One of the ultimate authorities on Mommy Bloggers is this list that is periodically updated. You can scan this list to learn about the content and focus of the websites. You can learn about how many followers each one has earned.
While this list gives a quick summary of information, we would like to share a more in-depth look at some of the top mommy bloggers out there. We will discuss their appeal, and what you can learn from each as you begin your life as a new mommy blogger.
Please note that when making our list, we tried to narrow our choices down to blogs that seem to be operated by fewer than five people. Some of the blogs that receive a considerable following have staffs of people, such as Scary Mommy and Moms Rising Blog.
We mean no disrespect for the women who grew those blogs from scratch. In fact, we are impressed with the work they have achieved. We just know that as beginning bloggers, you may connect more with the bloggers who are achieving some success while just starting in the blogging world.
About A Mom
About A Mom was created by a mother and daughter living in the south. The content is pretty straightforward. Visitors of the website will see recipes, simple craft ideas, and Florida travel tips.
About A Mom uses affiliate marketing links well. For example, in this post, where she describes how to make a sundae bar, she provides a link for the galvanized trays she shows in the photos.
She’s active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. She is savvy with each platform. Her topics may appeal to older moms and less to those who are just entering the parenting game.
One thing that we love about this blog is that it is well crafted. We know that she is trying to make a living by providing useful content.
We also like her writing style. She’s upbeat without being braggy. She asks interesting and helpful questions of her readers periodically. She uses photos of herself and her child, but we don’t feel as if she is oversharing. She makes no claims of having a perfect life, but you can tell that she works hard to provide content to make ours better.
Design Mom
Design Mom is a mother of six living in Oakland. She has won a ton of awards for her blog and has received serious accolades for her work.
Her blog focuses on interiors (she is a designer), parenting, foods, crafts, style, and travel. But most of her posts are hard to categorize. She has written about women who have lost sexual desire and dentist scams. She writes a lot about women’s issues, religion, and politics. It’s easy to get sucked into her website.
She uses affiliate marketing to sell products related to her life. For example, on one post about lice (ew!), she has a link to a metal lice comb from Amazon. Many of her blogs have no affiliate links, so the marketing side hustle is not over the top.
It’s hard to tell if she has a staff assisting her with her blog. It has a ton of content, but she’s been in the business for over a decade, so that’s not surprising.
We love this blog, but it may not appeal to everyone. She is “fancier” than most middle-class moms. Her kids are older now, so she doesn’t write about breast or bottle. What is most appealing about her work is that her topics are unique.
Baby Boy Bakery
Looking for sweet stories about a young family? Baby Boy Bakery offers a blog that describes life with young ones.
Written by a mom of two living in California, the blog focuses on family, food, and fitness. Besides covering these topics (that you would expect in a mommy blog), she also shares personal stories as well.
Instead of offering affiliate marketing links, she has a page on her website called “collaborations.” By clicking the “shop now” buttons, you can purchase jewelry, shoes, clothing, and swimwear.
Unlike the previous two examples, Baby Boy Bakery shares a lot about the children. There are many photos of the young family. She also shares cooking videos as well.
As a beginning blogger, it would benefit you to spend a great deal of time looking at the most successful mommy blogs out there now.
But don’t try to mimic these three examples. Find your own voice.
