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!

Jenny | The Bloggess
How could we ignore a site with the tagline “Like Mother Teresa, Only Better”? Jenny, AKA The Bloggess is who she is, and she doesn’t care what you think. A blogger for the Houston Chronicle, satirical sex columnist, and mom to a five-year-old daughter, The Bloggess is routinely hysterical, vulgar or both.
The Bloggess gives us an uncensored look at motherhood not normally seen in the mommy blogosphere. And even though her most controversial posts (Have you seen this one?) come with a search tag of “Posts That Will Get Me Hate Mail,” we find The Bloggess absolutely irresistible. And we’re not the only ones – she counts Ellen Degeneres and Barack Obama as fans!
I just wish Jenny were my friend and we could hang out and talk zombies. If I’m having a bad day and need a laugh I just do a search for her post about ‘Why are there so many ostriches?” and laugh until I cry and then the world looks better.
A Pearl of Great Price
