I’m often asked why I do this blog, and there are many answers. But the big reason I do it is to connect with other working moms against guilt and also help them feel like they’re not alone. We’re all dealing with lots of the same challenges, and celebrating some of the same joys — why not do it as a community? Virtual, in real life, or some combination thereof. It’s all good, in my opinion.
One way I like to see what other interesting WMAGs have to say is by reading their blogs. If you’ve never noticed the “You Might Also Like” blogroll in our right-hand column, I hope you’ll check it out. I use it almost every day to jump into the worlds and conversations of cool, smart, witty moms all over the place.
We recently went through and added some new blogs to the list, as well as removed a few who stopped posting or otherwise went off the grid. Here’s the updated list of top blogs and sites that we consider to be worth visiting — frequently!

See any glaring omissions? Please share in the comments! We’re always looking for new and interesting blogs to check out.
And because I’ve become a more frequent Twitter user lately, I went ahead and created a WMAG Twitter list. (Lists are a new feature on Twitter, allowing you to organize the people you follow and discover new and interesting accounts.) On the list, you’ll find bloggers, individuals and publications that are tweet about working mom-related stuff.

I'm a working mom who blogs (and reads WMAG) … http://www.jesser.org … little and relatively unknown, but I'm out there!
Same here, Jesser. I'm working and trying to establish a blog (http://wifeofhousehubby.blogspot.com). Right now it is definitely little known, but I'm working on getting on the radar. I love to read WMAG. It makes me feel better about my decision to work.
Thanks for including me on the list!
Two more working mom bloggers from Nashville I would add:
Amy at http://www.Milkbreathandmargaritas.com (@amy2boys on Twitter)
and Jessica Nicole Turner at http://www.themomcreative.com (@JessicaNTurner on Twitter)
Thank you so much for including me on this list at About.com Working Moms and @KatherineLewis! I love your blog too — it was one of my first finds on the working moms net.
Entrepreneurial moms should also check out my small business group blog at CurrentMom.com or @CurrentMom.
Looking forward to continuing the conversation about how we can be great moms and also work!
I'm a working mom and reader.

Wow, you have me in some very good company. Thanks so much for including me on your list! Yours was one of the first blogs I started reading…and still do!
Wow. I am honored. Thank you!
Excellent site, keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read…
"Keeping Tabs on WMAGs Like You" is a very nice article and news….

Awwwwwww, shucks. Thanks kid!
I blog and I work from home full time and out of the home part time..my blog is a good laugh some days, a good cry others, and a "how the heck did they do that???" other days. Come see me raise my little tribe.

I have been reading your blog for some time and finally got the courage to start my own blog: http://www.copmama.blogger.com
Thanks for having a spot for us working moms to come to so we don't feel alone!
Another blogging working mom here who loves your site!

What a great list (and not just 'cause you included me….). Its nice to have so many places to go online for support and inspiration!
Feel free to add my blog! I post almost every weekday!

Thanks for including me! I love reading "mommy blog" type blogs and tweets, but I am also enjoyin finding folks like Penelope Trunk and others who blog about their non-mommy work but still find time to mix in the humor and reality of their family life amidst the business, law, engineering, marketing, and life mayhem. Love WMAG! Keep it coming!
Thanks for the mention…very kind of you. Love your blog as well. Go working moms!
Deborah, from
'Mom and a Microphone'…that is.
Have a great day!
This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??
