If you’ve spent any time on the internet at all you’ve likely run into a Mom Blog or two, or three. There are quite a few out there and today, my friend Carmen Brown (Married by His Grace) is giving us the scoop on her favorites.
Carmen and I met in person a year ago at a retreat for some close blogging friends. This mom of five (from teens to below one year old) is passionate about being a godly mom and it shows. For today’s #SummerSizzleBlogHop post, she scoured the internet to find the best mom blogs for Christian moms and she’s sharing the goods with us.
By the way, the #SummerSizzleBlogHop features nine inspiring Christian bloggers. We’ve pulled our best Christian faith content from our treasure chests to encourage you this summer. Follow our Summer Sizzle Pinterest board to catch them all and be sure to stop by next week to see who’s in the spotlight. We’re keeping this party going all throughout June and July.
Today, Carmen’s turning the spotlight on some amazing mom blogs you don’t want to miss.
Favorite Mom Blogs for the Christian Mom
By Carmen Brown
Mom Blogs are the most popular and categorized blogs out there. Women love them. Motherhood is what the majority of us women are either embracing, on the way to embrace, or hope to one day embrace.
Most Mom Blogs will walk you through pregnancy, raising children, and keeping marriage healthy while raising children. How to diaper, nurse, and what to feed your children. Mom Blogs also help in areas of raising children in the home, outside of the home, through divorce, remarrying. And raising them in the church.
As mothers we want to feel confident in our position. Knowing that we are not the only one that sometimes forget to pick up our kids from school or lunch snacks from the grocery store give us a sense of relief as a mom.
We find security in knowing that literally crying over spilled milk is normal.
Honest, compassionate, understanding writers for the purpose of motherhood always brings comfort to the soul.
In 2014 statistic showed there were 4.4 million active Mom Blogs.
That is astronomical but then again not…. Because truth is, each blog has it unique story, it’s own writer, its own testament, and it own perceptive.
Just like I would want to see that many Christian based Blogs have that number on the statistic grid for blogs; this is a well put number for all the different kind of moms and backgrounds that there is.
The only question is, what kind of mom blog are you looking for?
As a stay at home mom, finding bloggers that write about motherhood, parenting, and building a home that is based off of Christian principles is most important to me.
In my home, Christ comes first. The biblical principals is what me and my husband strives for us to raise our children.
As we learned from the statistic there are many Mom Blogs out there, but are they in alignment with what comes first in your home? Do they offer what will feed your hunger as a Christian mother?
Here are 33 Christian-based Mom Blogs:
