Top 50 Mom Blogs, 2010
Babble's inaugural Top 50 Mom Blogger list began by saying that "mom bloggers make a difference." Well, it's 2010 now, and you'd have to be under a parenting stone not to know that already. Not only do they make "a" difference, but for many moms in cities and towns and burbs nationwide they make the difference, providing information, LOLs, "I've-been-there-sister" reassurance, and perhaps more than anything, the camaraderie that helps get you through the long, breakfast-till-you-put-them-down day.
As a collective, mom bloggers have given the previously too closed, too private, too go-through-it-alone experience of motherhood a voice. And does that voice travel! From major media figures including Lisa Belkin of the New York Times blog Motherlode to ma-without-pop operations such as Bacon Is My Enemy, these virtual sisters are broadcasting their real-mom experiences loud and clear.
And we couldn't be more happy to help them be heard. So for this year's Top 50, we had a group of mom blogger/parenting experts make their choices, then we dug over the data and compiled the 50 mom bloggers you should be following for 2010.
It was tough to trim it to 50, but that's where you come in. Please, please, nominate your favorites, too! Let the world know just how many and how great the mom bloggers out there are. We're all one big community, and the better we know each other, the more we all benefit. Look for your nominations on our 2011 list next year and, in the meantime, read, write, and link up. We're all in it together!

Jessica Gottlieb | Jessica Gottlieb
This list wouldn’t be complete without Jessica Gottlieb, a reigning Power Mom and Babble list repeat. Controversial and sharp, she is always engaged in the conversations that need hearing whether you love her or hate her.
Gottlieb is a busy woman: she is a panelist and vlogger for Momversation, makes frequent appearances on Dr. Phil and other TV shows (she was a recent guest on the Wendy Williams show) and also runs a consulting business that links women with branding opportunities. (Who says women never help each other?) And if that doesn’t seem like enough, she even has an iTunes app so you can get your Gottlieb fix on the go!
