Parent-authored blogs that chronicle the ups and downs, the poignant and the mundane, and funny and the serious—all those moments that make up the warp and woof of everyday life with children—are everywhere, and seem to be multiplying at the rate of, well, today’s parents. But with mommy blogs in such abundance, how to decide what to read? With that in mind, we thought you’d enjoy perusing Babble’s current list of the 50 top mommy bloggers—it’s broken into categories like funniest, best written and most controversial. You can also check out Lisa Belkin’s thoughts on mommy blogging on Motherlode. Finally, we love the New York City Moms Blog—it’s authored by a conglomeration of moms from different backgrounds who, like us, have chosen to raise their kids here.
