Female Bloggers to Know and Read as a Mom

Female Bloggers You Need to Know

Over the past few years, as I’ve been working on our blog The Educators’ Spin On It, I’ve had the chance to connect more and more with women from all over the world. From the talented women in the Kid Blogger Network and the Multicultural Kid Blogs and even participants in the Multicultural Children’s Book Day. When I was helping to organize the twitter chat Teacher Friends and in our own Love Books Exchange I was so fortunate to connect with so many talented female bloggers. It continues with our Virtual Book Club for Kids CoHosts who have worked to build up a facebook group of 6000+ moms!

As I entered into the speaking world, sharing about Pinterest Marketing, I had the chance to connect with even more women who impact the business world each day in what they do. Their uses their voices and backgrounds to empower others, especially women. They actually inspired me to start INSIGHT Blogger Retreats.

A little background about me, I went to college to major in early childhood education which sadly meant I was surrounded by most of my career in schools by just women.  Take a moment now to think of all the teacher that impacted your life over the years.  Chances are you’re thanking a female teacher.  Why are there not more male teachers?  Salary unfortunately plays a big factor is this decision, which needs to see change.  Confession…. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t gone back into a classroom to teach again.

Which teacher made an impact in your life?

Joining a Moms Group

Once I gave birth to my daughter, I took a leave from teaching. Once she was around a year old, I become heavily involved in organizing our local mom group. I planned activities for our little ones and met so many amazing moms who also were putting their careers on pause to provide care for their baby and toddlers at home. I had always worked as I raised my oldest son and this was a whole new world for me.

Joining a moms group was one of the best things I did not only for my child but for me personally. I’ve many lifelong friends through it. We even formed a little Tot School for 6 of us from the group that met weekly.

Besides providing social interaction for our babies, our mom’s group worked on charity causes together like the March of Dimes and the Hope Lodge for the American Cancer Association. It was quite empowering to see how talented and powerful these young women can be.

Are you part of a local moms group? 

Using Blogs as a Resource for Moms at Home

Bloggers Connecting Moms and Building Family Resources

In this newer stage of life, I’m having the chance now to connect with female bloggers. I was reading a few when I first had my daughter and become a stay at home mom to get ideas like No Time for Flashcards, I Can Teach My Child, Living Montesorri Now and 1+1+1=1 and even from Ree at The Pioneer Woman to feed my family.

After hosting, what seems like 100’s of playdates, I realized that the ideas that float around in my head that help children learn don’t always come to everyone’s mind. It’s the reason that we started The Educators’ Spin On It. To share ideas with busy parents so that you could sneak in learning in your everyday moments of life. It’s the reason we wrote our book 100 Fun and Easy Learning Games for Kids

Over the past almost 10 years the world of blogging has blossomed.  There are so many websites out there for you to connect with individuals and the ideas they share with you.  Some of the most powerful sites in our lives are ones that simply help you realize you’re not alone in your journey as a female. They encourage us as females to share our voices and RISE UP for those without them through advocacy.

Do you have a favorite female blogger you connect with? 

The articles we see shared over and over again of facebook are ones that discover someone who’s brought our feelings and thoughts to life with words and images. Over the years, I’ve seen sites like Six Sisters Stuff and ScaryMommy and even Blogher curate content and write original work with contributors that does just that… connect with our everyday moments as a woman. 

There are some talented and creative writers and business owners that I want to celebrate today for International Women’s Day. They are individuals that I’ve been so fortunate to connect with through our website and speaking and attending blogging conferences.

  • Their ideas inspire me.
  • Their wisdom motivates me to learn something new.
  • Their creativity keeps me active. 
  • Their community surround me with support.
  • Their energy and drive motivates me to do more.

They’ve become my online moms group for me as a woman and female entrepreneur.
