Playgroups Are No Place for Children reminds us that not all mom blogs have to cover sensitive subjects to catch our attention. 2009 Top Mom Blogger Jennifer Doyle is extremely likable in a way that makes us wish she was our best friend. She’s funny without being snarky, loving without being overly sentimental, and self-deprecating without being a downer.

Her kids are adorable, her recipes mouthwatering, and her writing sharp. Sure, she may complain sometimes, but what mom doesn’t? Doyle gives us good reason to keep coming back to her blog: We can’t get enough of this Tennessee mom and the Southern charm of her everyday life.

Jennifer's Quotes on Wisdom from Mom Bloggers

It's really hard to pick one favorite read! I love so many writers, for their way with words, for how they can reach inside of me, and for their wisdom.

One of my favorite bloggers is Stacey from Is There Any Mommy Out There. She is simply an amazing storyteller. I'd probably enjoy reading her grocery list.

I also love Amanda Magee from The Wink, Mr. Lady from Whiskey in My Sippy Cup, Megan from Velveteen Mind, and Stephanie from Adventures in Babywearing. And about 100 more. It's so hard to narrow it down!

From: Which blogger is your favorite read and why?
My husband is the hardest working, most loyal man I know. Because of him, I get to play on the computer all day, wait ... I mean, I get to stay at home and nurture our children through engaging and educational activities.
From: A shout-out for your other half: Why are your lucky to have him?
I love my mom because she instilled in me confidence with humility.
From: Why do you love your mom?
Well my iPhone, of course. How the heck did I entertain my kids in restaurants before?
From: What is the one parenting product you could not live without?
Ella, age 3: “Because you make me peener butter and jelly.”
From: Why do you love mom? The bloggers' kids respond!
