Before the explosion of the internet, moms were pretty limited when it came to parenting resources. There were no quick and useful ways to share information. Doctors, books, and immediate family and friends were your only “village.” More than a decade later, so much has changed. The internet, smartphones, and the information age have come together in the perfect confluence, and the world is now our village. 

Parents from the far corners of the world now have the connectivity to share their journeys and their wisdom, not to mention every win, both big and small. Mommy bloggers, in particular, have been leading the charge. Armed with experience and powered by their sense of community, these women share everything they’ve learned from pregnancy and self-care to recipes and craft ideas for a rainy day. 

Of course, the web is a big place, so it can be hard to figure out where to find the most valuable information.

So to help you out, here’s a list of 10 of the best mommy bloggers to follow in 2021:
