With so many smart, talented and creative mummies sharing their advice and stories, it’s really easy for expectant mothers to get the honest truth about parenting. From pregnancy guidance and life lessons to cooking tips and relationship hiccups, the world of mum blogs is a great place to hang out in these days.
To save you a whole lot of time, we’ve put together a list of the top eight Aussie mummy blogs in cyberspace.
Mum-of-three Katrina loves nothing more than sharing tips and tricks on cleaning and cooking to make life easier. She wasn’t always that organised, though. Katrina learned the hard way and now wants to share her secrets with you. Along with yummy recipes and topics involving household chores, she shares craft ideas, decluttering advice and more.
Not only is Tahlia a mum and the author of this blog, but she’s also a counsellor. She has an interesting take on motherhood and relationships and brings her own experiences to her writing. Topics are centred around family life, being creative at home and staying healthy. She covers every aspect of being a mum, including how to handle those tricky questions kids tend to ask.
Sonia takes you on the personal journey of a mum who is trying to be perfect but makes mistakes just like everyone else. She writes with an open heart and an honest tongue, making you feel more like her best friend than a reader of her blog. Sonia will make you laugh and sometimes make you cry, but those blog posts are worth every second of your time. She also talks a lot about how she and her husband work as a team to raise their children.
Constance doesn’t mince her words on her blog posts, but that’s one of the things that makes reading them so enjoyable.

Along with relationships, pregnancy and motherhood, she isn’t shy about sharing tales and snaps on the topic of body image.

If you haven’t already guessed, this blog is about how to make learning fun for kids. We’re not talking your typical ABC and 123 here, though. Kate used to be a primary school teacher before she became a stay-at-home mum, so her posts are well worth a read. She tells you how to implement learning and study time in the home and reduce stress for you in the process.
