Mummy Blogs UK Top 10
Last updated 07/03/2024.
Vuelio uses a proprietary algorithm to create these rankings, based on topic-related content in blogs on its system – you can read more about the process here. Our research team actively seeks out new blogs and bloggers for inclusion, but if you think we’ve missed someone, please get in touch to let us know.
1. Honest Mum
Still top of our list for another year is Honest Mum Vicki Broadbent, who is a busy mother, indeed – describing herself as a ‘filmmaker, content creator, and broadcaster working across print, digital, TV, and film’. Adding to this workload is her blogging, which takes in topics ranging from ways to keep families happy to looking after yourself as a parent. Vicki also catches up with other inspiring women – recent interviews include a Youtube fitness expert, a children’s TV author, and a popular podcaster.
We’re still mad about Mum In The Madhouse’s Jen Walshaw, who originally started her blog as a digital diary, and continues to share ways to keep kids entertained at home and out in the world. While the UK weather is decidedly chilly and damp, stay inside with Jen’s ideas for tasks in the kitchen (menu planning and cooking with children) or head to the biggest tabletop for crafts activities. Particularly helpful for keeping things calm – seasonal activity inspiration. Get ready for Easter with Mum In The Madhouse’s ‘complete resource’, all in one place.
Babes About Town is back again with more inspo for families based in, or visiting, the UK capital. Originally launching her blog about London living after having two boys and bringing a baby with her on trips around town, Uju curates cool ideas and experiences for city-based parents. This blogger is a multi-talented mum, too, with the Evening Standard having picked her book ‘Bringing Up Race: How to Raise a Kind Child in a Prejudiced World’ as one of its Best Books back in 2020 – read our interview about her work here.
Moving up a spot in this year’s ranking update is In The Playroom, where Anna and Luciana – who are raising kids ranging from toddlers to teenagers between them – are ‘inspiring creativity in your home and family’. Originally started in 2012 by Anna as a way to share the realities of life with youngsters, the blog has expanded to include guest contributors and additional team members. Do you have kids who might need some guidance with what to get for Mother’s Day? Check out the blog’s downloadable templates for crafty gift.
With lots of rain right now, and the wet weather set to continue for a while across the UK, the parents’ saviour is here – Cerys Parker of Rainy Day Mum. Cerys, a marine biologist, teacher, and mum of two, has plenty of ideas to keep kids from getting bored when they’re stuck inside. For learning, creating, cooking, playing, reading, and just all-round fun things to do, check out the blog’s library of good ideas by subject, by season, activity, or age. To take note of now – the best books about Spring (because the sun will make a reappearance soon).
Sticking at number six for another year is Talya, the former editor-in-chief turned blogger behind straight-talking Motherhood: The Real Deal. Launched in 2015 ‘on the back of the pure frustration (and of course amazing experience!)’ of becoming a parent, Talya shares ‘bold, authentic’ family experiences. For mental health for parents and their children, read recent pieces on nurturing maternal wellbeing, how to navigate the social media jungle when your teenagers are online, as well as calming activities for kids.
7. My Baba
Moving up a massive three spots from last year’s number ten is ‘family lifestyle destination’ My Baba. Leonora Bamford, Elllie Thompson, and Christina Walter head up My Baba, which started life in 2012. Now sharing advice from professionals and experts in the field of pregnancy and parenting, topics tackled range from health and education to modern aspects of family life including internet safety and finding support systems for the difficulties that can come with dyslexia and neurodiversity.
Another non-mover in this year’s update is Donna Wishart’s What the Redhead Said. Donna has been busy sharing her parenting journey ‘and everything in it’ since November 2016, writing about days out, longer trips away, milestones, recipes to try, and reviews of family finds. Planning to stay in the UK over the next few months and hoping for bright skies ahead? Check out things to do on a sunny day in London. More positive that a trip abroad will bring sunshine? Head over to Donna’s suggestions for planning a holiday to Orlando in the US instead.
Also sticking in the same spot is Sarah Anguish’s Boo Roo and Tigger Too, which tells the tale of a ‘working mum, sharing life with children and being a wife’. Former hospital administrator Sarah (that’s ‘Boo’) is used to juggling multiple responsibilities and is hard at work sharing the ins and outs of family life, home decor ideas, places to travel to, ‘and everything in between’. Alongside the lighter parts – Easter Egg Hunt ideas for teenagers – this blog dives into serious subjects, including how to navigate change and supporting your child through difficult times.
We finish up with a blogger who may have moved away from purely family-related posts, but still has a dedicated following of parents out there. Slummy Single Mummy is Jo Middleton, who has broadened her content focus since her children have grown up, and now loves writing about food and travel, also covering topics ranging from UK mini breaks to pension planning. Started in 2009, this blog now covers things important to parents themselves. Recent pieces explore how to save time on laundry and where to go in Copenhagen when you’re done.
