homemaker2 mom blogging Over the past few years the number of women who blog has grown exponentially. There are over 18.9 million women who write blogs according to the Pew Research Center; and according to recent statistics, women blogs are wielding the widest influence. From Heather over at Dooce to Jill at Scary Mommy, women everywhere are saying that their voices need to be heard. A brilliant few are blogging with so much finesse and savvy that they’re eventually afforded the option of allowing their husbands to quit their jobs… All while still folding the clothes and mopping the floors.

With so many women bloggers fighting for the spotlight, many don’t make it past the first year often being lost in a heavily saturated niche. That’s why this list is so important. In order to help you in your quest to find some fantastic reads and highlight what I believe to be some of the most talented rising stars in the “woman blog” industry, I’ve put together a list of amazing women who are destined to shine over the next year.

From crafting to pop culture, from recipes to travel, this group of women are an exceedingly opinionated bunch… Which is exactly how we like them icon wink mom blogging .
I’ve selected these women based off of their exceptional writing styles, outstanding blog designs, and general popularity since the time they were established.
Here they are in no particular order:

This crafty lady makes her own strawberry vodka… ’nuff said.
With crafts not being one of my strong suits, I admire Ms. Amy for her resourcefulness and creativity – and you undoubtedly will too. Upon entering Baby Baby Lemon you’ll be immediately struck by her snarky tagline: “When life gives you lemons… suck it.”
Got to love it.

Amy’s ingenuity and wit don’t stop at her personal blog. She also has a food blog aptly titled SoupOrSaladBlog.com.
Stop by both of her little corners of the web and prepare to be inspired.

An already prominent voice in the blogosphere, Jamie beautifully chronicles her life as a mother and a wife of a transracial family. Often being mistaken for her Ethiopian born son’s babysitter, she brilliantly mocks those guilty of “ageism and racism” proving that just because her family is a little different, it doesn’t make them any less the “ideal” family.

Her unique approach to parenting proves to be a compelling read. A strong advocate of attachment parenting and extended breastfeeding, Jamie has solidified herself as a strong voice in the parenting blog community.
