By Lelia Hall


Moms have an important source of inspiration and information today that did not exist for mothers in the past. Mom blogs written by other mothers who understand exactly what they are going through can make a real difference. Whether they are battling with simple, practical issues such as what to put in a lunch box for their children to more serious issues such as behavior problems, bloggers offer some amazing advice and encouragement, born out of their own experiences.

You may have to read through quite a few to find those that appeal specifically to you and your situation. However, some help comes in the form of lists and directories of what are considered to be the best. You will be able to skip many and go to those with descriptions that address your issues. Bookmarking these sites makes it easy to return to them when necessary.

Advice on just about every parenting topic imaginable and every stage of parenting can be found. However, it is not just advice that mothers need. They also find comfort in seeing just how many other people are experiencing what they are and some write about their struggles in such humorous ways one cannot help but laugh. The kids may be ill and everything may seem to be going wrong but laughing about the ironies of motherhood gives one courage to face another day.

One of the benefits is the sense of community that may come about simply from following a blog. There is nothing quite like sharing with other mothers following the same blog. Mothers who are are feeling stressed and unable to cope may find that a specific blog gives them what they need to feel better and carry on. Sharing stories, photos and advice can be very helpful.

Every stage of motherhood is covered by bloggers from teenage pregnancy to mothers experience empty nest syndrome. Teen mothers can be greatly encouraged by finding out that they are not alone in their situation. Even pregnant mothers can receive advice on anything from what type of birth to have to how to breastfeed successfully. Mothers trying to deal with the fact that their children are grown up and do not need them in the same way anymore can share with other mothers on how to deal with this.

A mother who has a strict budget can find many helpful ways of saving money. Bloggers write about different products, giving reviews and they may even have giveaways as well. Mothers are made aware of cheaper products and discounts offered so they can source products that offer the best value for money.

Another source of inspiration for mothers is those bloggers writing about health and beauty. Mothers are usually so busy that they have little time for themselves. Many of these bloggers stress the importance of looking after oneself as a mother by exercising and eating correctly. Tips are also given on fashion and how to look great.

With the wealth of advice, tips and inspiration available to mothers today, there is no reason why they should feel isolated, unable to cope and too busy to spend time on themselves. There are other mothers out there whose experience they can benefit from to help them make the most of their lives.
