Lotus Carroll – I Am Lotus aka Sarcastic Mom – Sarcastic Mom is known to be a lil’ bit saucy on occasion, but mostly I find her blog uplifting, honest, funny, with a serious helping of eye candy. I’m a sucker for photos, and on that count Sarcastic Mom delivers more than a teenage Dominos’ driver. Also noteworthy are her weekly photography picks, crowdsourced and gorgeous. Samantha Moeller – Hipster Mom – As the founder of Missbehave Magazine, Samantha can definitely claim authority over the hipster mom moniker. She chronicles her adventures as an inked up mom, entrepreneur, and all-around fly Brooklyn lady, with humor, edge, and honesty. Her blog is a place to reassure those of us that even when we march to the beat of a dubstep drummer, motherhood can still be for us. Ashley Frankly – Ashley’s Closet – When it comes to mom blogs, honesty seems to be the best policy these days. Gone are the days of pretending to love every minute of the Dirty Diaper Show, and enter the truth-telling of women like Ashley Frankly. Sass, crass, and class are all over the posts of this beloved mom blogger as we follow her through the stickiness and sunshine of mom-dom. Tiffany Bird – Simply Modern Mom – Crafty as she is, Tiffany started her blog as a place to share all of her craft projects, but she came to the realization that most modern moms have one need in common: simplicity. So, she turned her focus to that, filling her blog with easy craft projects, pretty photos, innovative suggestions, and her signature sweet writing style. CJ’s Mom – Raising My Rainbow – CJ’s Mom is busy raising a gender creative son, one who loves Disney princesses and general fabulosity. She writes this brave blog about the challenges they both face with wit, grace, and aplomb, and reminds us all that being different is a gift, and one worth throwing some elbows to  protects.
