Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2012
The top mom bloggers — they make us laugh, they make us cry, and most importantly, they make us feel like we've got allies in this wonderfully weird world of parenting. Our Top 100 list is an annual salute to those who are brave enough to air their best and worst parenting moments, and includes blogosphere staples as well as newcomers. At Babble, we believe that all parents are in the business of raising the next generation together. We've brought people into the world who need us very deeply. And despite the "mommy wars" that hogged headlines this year, we need each other; we need to feel connected to those who are in the trenches with us. Here are the top 100 moms — narrowed down with the help of our esteemed panelists — who remind us that we're not alone. We realize this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the talent, humor, and kindness displayed daily in the blogosphere, and the way things are going, the talent pool of moms is only going to get bigger from here. So if you feel we missed a mom blog you love, please nominate it for consideration on next year’s list. We want this list to reflect your opinions just as much as ours — Christina Couch

Karen Walrond of Chookooloonks

Karen Walrond is on a mission to convince you (yes, you!) that you are extraordinarily beautiful — and she won’t stop until you believe it. This photo blog is dedicated to exploring the beauty of everyday life and parenting and includes projects such as the 1,000 faces initiative, Walrond’s photographic documentation of gratitude and her work with One Moms. But while reading about discovering beauty is one thing, actually doing it is another. So if you want to get your own Chookooloonks on, this Babble blogger and Houston-based mom of one also offers self-study programs.
Her three favorite posts:

Furiously blushing.
Oh, and to add to my previous comment… if you DO try to click through the slideshow, at slide 46 or so it inexplicably jumps to the Top 50 Dad blogs and won’t even let you see the rest of the Mom’s list…
…the heck is going on?
