Favorite Instagram Mommas

Instagram is such a weird animal, isn’t it?  It makes you feel like you know people and their stories even though you have never actually met.  I love it!  It’s such a great way to find a little community of like-minded individuals and it can be a great source of inspiration and sometimes even validation that you’re not the only one struggling with a baby who won’t nap/the loss of a loved one/fill-in-the-blank-here.  I follow a wide variety of bloggers, big companies, small businesses and stylish mommas/kids, yet there are only a handful that I actively look up to see what I’ve missed.  So with Mother’s Day in just a few days, I figured I would share the mommas (who feature their kids every 6 pictures, give or take) that I enjoy following on Instagram, and a few words about them (in no particular order):

    I follow some of these accounts also, but I will have to check some of the others out! I love following you on Instagram, btw. I think that the pictures of you and Jack are so sweet and real! One of my favorite accounts to follow is OneFineA. She has a toddler and a great eye for design too!

    Thank you! I try to keep things real on instagram so thank you for that feedback! I just looked up OneFineA and started following her immediately. I love all her bright colors and her toddler is adorable! Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
