Must Follow Mommy Bloggers

July 14, 2016

 Must Follow Mommy Bloggers

Let me preface this by saying I strongly dislike the term “mommy blogger”.  Once you look at the amazing women I’m about to introduce you to, you’ll understand why.  We blog about so much more than motherhood!  I’d really like to change the title to “badass bloggers who are also mothers” but I think it may be too much of a mouthful.  Anyways, here is the first installment of my Must Follow Mommy Bloggers *cringe* series.  The second post is HERE.  I look up to and admire every one of these women!  I hope they brighten your day just as they brighten mine!

Must Follow Mommy Bloggers Pt. 1

 

Get on Pandora right now. Shuffle Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, and Fifth Harmony. Dance in your kitchen with your kids while eating Popsicles. And don’t fold your laundry. That’s how I beat those Monday blues. 

A photo posted by Sadie Jane Sabin (@simplysadiejane) on Jul 11, 2016 at 12:34pm PDT

Simply Sadie Jane– She’s so many #goals it’s not even funny.  Fitness enthusiast, fashionista, and inspiring mom/wife.  I’ve been following her for years and her posts either make me want to run to the gym or go shopping!

 

Feeling a necessary pull to post this article today. ?link in bio?What’s holding you back from choosing generosity instead of picking battles?

A photo posted by Lindsay Katherine (@itssimplylindsay) on Jul 11, 2016 at 5:08am PDT

It’s Simply Lindsay– Huffington post writer, style guru, and inspiration.  She writes beautifully and I love the topics she covers!

 

When I first agreed to go on @greatdayhouston for a segment about mixing patterns, my first thought was, “what have I gotten myself into?” But it turns out @nweakly seriously knows her stuff, and picked the cutest outfit for me. Loved this look, and even at 12 weeks #postpartum, I felt good. 

A photo posted by e s t h e r || cuteheads™ (@cuteheadskids) on May 16, 2016 at 6:02am PDT

Cuteheads– Esther is sunshine on a cloudy day.  We’ve been e-friends for years and she really is a ray of happiness.  Supportive, hard-working, and has both a beautiful blog and children’s clothing company! 

 

Today, on beautyandthebinky.com, I’m tearing apart the notion that we always do what’s best. 

A photo posted by Jaclyn Kent (@beautyandthebinky) on Jul 6, 2016 at 6:00pm PDT

Beauty and the Binky– Jaclyn is a stylish mama of many trades!  She covers everything from current events to fashion to beauty must-haves.  

 

These two manage to melt my heart on a daily basis. “mommy, hold it?!” Is what Maddie Grace says now when she wants Tripp to sit in her lap, and she loves to help feed him and give him kisses. I know it’s a new weekend (thank goodness ??????) 

A photo posted by Claire Cervino (@claire_cervino) on Jul 8, 2016 at 3:30pm PDT

Casual Claire– I mean this one’s a no-brainer.  She’s my blogging bestie so I’m biased, but you’re missing out if you haven’t read her blog.  She covers all things mommy, baby, fashion, beauty and travel!

 

This is my real body after 4 kids. My hips are wide. My boobs are non existent. My thighs are thick. My skins not as tight as it used to be. ………. The reason I am finally okay with posting this photo is because after being challenged by my Pastor to pray each day this week to have God show me how much HE loves Me,this happened…

A photo posted by Christina Boyce//Va Blogger (@_christinaboyce) on Jul 4, 2016 at 2:35am PDT

Christina Boyce– Talk about inspirational.  This mama tells it like it is, with a few well placed curse words if need be.  She makes being a mother both funny and truthful and I LOVE her honesty. 

 

When you fall asleep nursing your babe on the couch and wake up hours later like…? Story of my life! Anyway, today on the blog I shared how to shop designer on a budget PLUS there’s an awesome (40% off!!!!) coupon code for @thredup! This Current Elliott romper was under $50! Head over to the link in my bio to grab the code! #secondhandfirst #ad

A photo posted by Lauren McBride (@laurmcbrideblog) on Jul 13, 2016 at 8:43pm PDT

Lauren Mcbride– Talk about a gorgeous feed/blog/family.  Her instagram and blog are lovely and filled with great fashion and home decor.  

 

#tbt to yesterday of me and my best girl

A photo posted by Chanel van Reenen (@chanelvanreenen) on Jun 30, 2016 at 6:11am PDT

Chanel Van Reenen– another honest and hilarious must-follow.  Her fashionable kiddos and fantastical party themes are such eye candy!

 

when life hands you a pineapple, you take a picture ? #duh

A photo posted by Krista Horton (@krista.horton) on Jun 3, 2016 at 4:16pm PDT

Krista Horton– You guys.  She’s amazing.  Her feed and blog are pretty much happiness.  Plus, she just started her own interior design business!

 

Mommin’ Ain’t Easy! 

A photo posted by Jenna Wodiske || BLOGGER (@espresso.ever.after) on Jun 24, 2016 at 7:52am PDT

Espresso Ever After– Jenna is a fashionista mama who shares great beauty tips, childrens’ gear, and recipes to name a few!

    What a great round-up! I’m always on the prowl for some new badass bloggers who are also mothers to read. Wait…that came out sounding a little on the creepy side! I’m already reading a few of their blogs, but there are several here I’ve never heard of!

    I follow some of these women already and agree about how beautiful and awesome these mommas are! I need to catch up with some of the others! Love this roundup thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the suggestions! I haven’t heard of most of these!

    Thanks! I love finding other moms to connect with. I don’t mind the term mommy blogger. I’m a blogger and a mom, and most of the things I blog about come from the “mom of a young child” perspective. I’m okay with that!

  6. chelsea jacobs says

    July 14, 2016 at 2:53 pm

    Ooh, off to follow all of them!

    All the above mommy bloggers are so fashionable and beautiful! Including you 🙂

  9. Terryn Winfield says

    July 15, 2016 at 6:27 am

    Oh my gosh, I love this post! I am always looking for new ladies to follow who inspire and encourage me. And I totally agree- I can’t stand the term mommy blogger. It makes me cringe and gives a strange vibe and moms are SO much more.

  10. Lindsay says

    July 15, 2016 at 7:19 am

    You are so sweet to include me! I know and love most of your picks and am looking forward to to checking out these new badass women who are also moms who I don’t know yet.

  11. Jenna - Espresso Ever After says

    Such an honor to be a mommy blogger that you follow! Thanks friend, you made my day!

I travel with her now so she’s not impressed by I travel with her now so she’s not impressed by someone’s crusty son trying to take her to Myrtle Beach. 😂

Kidding! I do believe travel is so important for kids though: not only will we cherish these memories forever, but I want to introduce them to as many people, cultures, and beautiful features of the world as possible. 

👉🏻Why do you travel with your kids?
