Oh there’s a new sheriff in town and it’s not a man.  The Internet is now inundated with swarms of Mommy bloggers.  Ten years ago there were about two bloggers and they certainly were not Moms.

The new trend is a grassroots movement.  No need to be Jennifer Aniston or Brittany Spears to get viewer’s eyeballs to land on a website.  Mom blogs are getting web hits comparable to the celebrity sites.

The Mommy blogger gets online daily (or all day) and speaks her mind through blogging, twittering, vlogging or hosting an Internet radio talk show.

Yes, I’m one of those ‘mom’ bloggers myself, but my Go-To Mom Site is not just a blog. It’s a multi-media parenting site where parents can watch 2-minute videos on child discipline.  Publishing companies and parenting magazines sponsor my videos.  Although my videos are research-based and of a serious nature, I do try to add a little humor and silliness.  Even thought I am a child therapist by trade, I am a goofball at heart.  Just ask my kids. 

I wanted to compile a fun list of some of the Mommy Blogs that I have found to be quite entertaining and/or educational.  Enjoy!  Be sure to check out my site monthly, I have a new book coming out and a cool mommy talk show premiering soon.

The Go-To Mom’s mission is to give parents invaluable information in a short period of time. A specialist in non-coercive, non-aggressive parenting, Kimberley is both an expert and a hands-on mom. “I teach moms and dads the basics of parenting through relationship,” she explains “Most of us have been taught parenting through coercion which is not only ineffective but is damaging to a child. I advise parents to review how they were parented, so that they don’t repeat the same mistakes. From my perspective, parenting through relationship is not a strategy but a philosophy.”
