The 2007 Mother’s Day Central Top 100 Mom Blogs Awards
We Think Mom Bloggers Deserve a Little Recognition!
Hey we all know that moms work hard. But mom bloggers work hard, and run blogs. We think that deserves a little extra recognition. After all, mom bloggers are also helping other moms.
So, we took a shot at putting together a list of Top 100 Mom Blogs. These women, and communities of women, have in our view displayed particular excellence in areas including:
- Originality
- Passion
- Humor
- Personality
- Creativity
We understand that your favorite blog may not be mentioned in this list. We had a difficult time narrowing the contestants down, because there are so many qualified mothers who blog. Please email us any notable blogs you feel should have been included.
One thing was clear when reviewing all of the great mom blogs out there. Just being a mom brings plenty of ammo for discussion, community, and endless entertainment! So without further ado, here is our first list of Top 100 Mom Blogs:
Adoption and Family Life
Get a feel of the adoption process by reading what others have experienced. Read the posts on family life where you may identify, laugh, cry, and comment. (Numbers are for ordering, not an indication of rank)
Arts, Crafts, and Hobbies
Look what other moms are doing to enjoy their spare time. Techniques are often revealed, along with upcoming projects by the authors.
Breastfeeding
This controversial topic has spawned a few blogs to keep you informed of current issues related to breastfeeding.
Entertainment and Celebrity
From one of Angelina Jolie’s new children, to the next celeb in rehab;
these blogs follow who’s in the spotlight along with witty commentary.
Fashion and Style
Just because you have a kid doesn’t mean you can’t be hip! See the latest products and trends for babies and kids.
Food and Cooking
Tired of making the same spaghetti and meatballs? Head over to one of these blogs for new recipes to treat your family and friends.
Health Conditions
We all know someone with a health condition that needs special attention. These blogs catalog the good and bad times of living with certain ailments.
Home Schooling
As discontent with the quality of public school education grows, so will home schooling.
Many mothers blog about their schedules, lesson plans, and other helpful home school information.
Humor
Need a laugh? Some mothers use humor as a break from their day to day routine. Read along and join others in a laugh today. It’s good for you!
GLBT Parenting
Get an insider’s perspective! Read how some non-traditional households are getting along in today’s cultural environment.
Portal and Community Blogs
Connect with other moms who have the same interests as you. These blogs are great resources to begin your search.
Sex and Relationships
Having a child certainly changes sex and relationships; sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. Get advice, opinions, and experiences from these 3 women:
Shopping
Save money, find a new cool toy, read reviews, or get something for yourself. Who doesn’t like shopping?
Single Moms
Many families today are single parent households. Here are two women who share their thoughts, activities, and experiences of life as a single mom.
Spiritual and Religious
These moms have dedicated part of their lives to a higher power and have used blogging to spread their message.
Work at Home Moms – WAHM
Would you like to make money and be around your children at the same time? Read how some mothers are managing, or get help on how you can become a WAHM.
Other Winners
Most moms who have a blog use it as an outlet for anything they want to write about. As such, we couldn’t categorize the great writing of some women and we listed them here. You will find many of the most original, interesting, and entertaining blogs in this group.

We are so happy that you gave an award to our own wry, local blogger, Kat Wilder (#40)
even though only her closest friends will know “she” got it. And the award led me to your bountiful and fun site.
For those afflicted with “Mommy Guilt” (as The Today Show dubbed it) for not spending enough time with their children, consider trying another local find – a “do good” social enterprise, LaborFair.com that is an online job referral network. YOu can fine and contact reputable household help fast.
Again kudos for shinign a spotlight on so many treasures.

Thank you for awarding me (although, truth be told, I am NO June Cleaver!).
But I think many divorced fortysomething moms with teens will relate to at least some of what I write.
And, because of this award, I’ve been turned onto some really great blogs that will now be part of my daily reading requirement.
Happy Mom’s Day, one and all!

You should really have a listing of the best mom books. Hands down, “The Book of Mom” by Taylor Wilshire would win! It is a hilarious, summer-like read that you will not be able to put dowm. It’s about an overwhelmed mom that gets help with a bunch of Oprah-like tips on living a more authentic life.

Inventing Matilda Says:June 17th, 2008 at 10:06 am
How wonderful to see all of your blogging champions. The neat thing about blogs is that now communication and creativity are not limited to the pages of formal magazines. The internet has created a niche community of amazing writers and compilers. Watch out Magazines, now you have more competition than just other magazines on the rack.

I, like many of you, am a busy, working mom and wife to a hardworking, hungry husband. It is my desire to be able to do EVERYTHING and still be able to put a healthy, delicious meal on the table for dinner. Getting dinner on the table is a difficult task when we are managing the daily lives of our families as well as ourselves. That is why I created this blog. Consider it a tool to help you get organized, so that making dinner is not as impossible as it might seem. Each week I will give you four recipes, that take approx. 20 minutes to prepare. I will also include a shopping list and a list of items that you may already have in your pantry or fridge. Some meals are large enough that you can have 1 or 2 “left-over nights” per week. Give yourself a much needed break and order out one night, or go out for dinner! All meals are generally for 4-6 servings, and the shopping list reflects this. So, change the amounts accordingly. Also, remember to check recipes for known food allergies and substitute or omit ingredients as needed. Most of all, take the time to enjoy dinnertime with your loved ones!
Ann Says:April 14th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I just started blogging (www.3girlsandapug.com) and love having this media as an outlet to other writing I do professionally. Your top 100 listing really showcases all of the great mommy blogs that are out there. Thank you! I can’t wait to see the list for 2009.
rachel Says:June 17th, 2009 at 5:54 am
Nice blogs but what about mine? Mountain Mom Report is good too! There are some other location-interesting blogs too. That would have been a good category. I love to see how motherhood intersects with the location they live. I am always trying to find a good blog about what it’s like to be a mom in Hawaii, for example. I’ve found some in Paris.
Kim Says:July 18th, 2009 at 7:58 am
I just started my own blog and I need some helpful advice. My page looks so boring. How can I spruce it up and maybe be a Top Mommyblogger myself someday?
