On Friday, we had our first “Friday is for Fathers” installment, featuring 3 funny dad blogs that will teach you something. Today we roll out our new Monday feature, “Mondays are for Moms.” We’ll be featuring some of our favorite mom bloggers and mothering resources from around the web — and we’re happy to take reader suggestions, so if you have a site that you think would be a great fit, let us know (@BetterParenting on Twitter).
This week we’re featuring a site that brings moms together and gets them talking, a too-cute creative site for the craft-inclined mother, and a site with great insight and tips around the challenges of being a mother.
5 Minutes for Mom
Why We Love 5 Minutes for Mom:
5 Minutes for Mom offers some great perspective on parenting in a very casual way that encourages community conversation. While you’ll get a lot of inspiration and encouragement from their posts, you’ll also find great support in the comments offered by the community. The site also hosts great giveaways and a fun section with photography tips — what parent doesn’t want to be able to take better pictures of their kids? A great place to connect with other moms.
Here are three posts that we enjoy from 5 Minutes for Mom:
Gourmet Mom on the Go
Why we love Gourmet Mom on the Go:
Nobody makes food as fun for kids as Mandy (aka Gourmet Mom on the Go). You’ll find loads of fun food crafts, including ideas for every holiday at this photography filled blog. Mandy gives great step-by-step instructions and her photographs make sure you’re on track every step of the way. Mandy also has a passion for gourmet cooking, so there are great meal ideas for adults as well. You won’t want to miss the super-mom’s creations.
Here are 3 of the cutest food crafts from Gourmet Mom on the Go:
The Confident Mom
Why we love The Confident Mom:
Parenting / family management coach Susan Heid and her guest columnists offer amazing insight into the life and challenges of a mother. With a friendly, inviting writing style, you definitely get the feeling that “we’re in this together” when you read The Confident Mom. You’ll walk away from reading Susan’s blog with practical tips to be a better parent, but also a strong feel the underlying principles that make these tips work. Susan’s also a must-follow on Twitter (@ConfidentMom).
