In this crazy world of parenting, especially now, it’s important to create a community for support. Find your moms who can give advice, ideas and make you laugh and don’t let them go. We’re all clambering through the process of turning tiny humans into functioning adults. We might as well have some company along the way.
In addition to a few resourceful Facebook groups and hyperlocal influencers, I follow several accounts that either provide fun inspiration, reassuring and relatable humor, or solid answers and advice:
Big Little Feelings – Run by child therapists, this account is a great go-to for anyone with kids ages 1-5. Managing tiny tantrums and finding gentle and practical ways to encourage healthy emotional development is their specialty. Their Instagram Stories provide a two-way resource for parents with questions and relatable moments to share.
IMomsoHard– Two professional comedic writers and entertainers, Kristen and Jen share all the good, bad and bizarre there is to know about being moms. After their video featuring the two of them trying on swimsuits went viral, they started touring and most recently launched a special on Amazon Prime. I saw their live show in Phoenix and it was hilarious! They give me the laughs I need to get through motherhood.
Bunmi Latidan– This poetic soul has spirituality to help you through tough times and a sarcastic, raw sense of humor to get you through the worst. Creator of The Honest Toddler blog and author of Toddlers are A$$holes, Confessions of a Domestic Failure, and her most recent book of poetry, Dear God, she’s a force of motherhood that has surely helped many others along the way.
Dude Dad– This vlogger is a fun-loving handy-dad who specializes in home projects, engineering hijinx, sketch comedy and more. He’s launching a new show called Super Dad on Magnolia Network, and I think it says a lot about him that he posted individual shout-outs and photos with each member of his production crew, showing his appreciation for them.
Kids Eat in Color– This account is run by a dietician and public health expert with picky eaters! She shares tips and tricks for parents to provide the best food for their kids. With cookbooks, meal plans and more, there are a lot of resources to choose from. My favorites are her colorful infographics that make choosing snacks or portion sizes easy.
