Family and Homemaking Blogs


Family and homemaking blogs cover a wide range of topics, such as child-raising issues, activity ideas and household cleaning tips. Many mothers have turned to blogging to help other mothers improve their parenting skills and raise healthier, happier families. While parents still pass family and homemaking advice to their children as they grow older, many new, more technologically savvy young parents are turning to blogs for advice on how to raise their children and keep house.

Some of the more prominent blogs include Nell Minow, who reviews movies and culture from a moral perspective at MovieMom.com, Jenny Lawson, who calls herself “The Bloggess,” Heather Armstrong, a Utah mother who details her colorful life under the name “Dooce” and Ree Drummond, blogger of “The Pioneer Woman” and author of several cookbooks.

Some websites have a collection of blogs related to parenting and family issues as well as homemaking tips. Notable websites aimed at mothers include Momlogic, Momversation and Babble.com, while Green Hour gives tips on how to create a greener living space.
