Of course our goal is to be on this list. But, because we are new and have not built any “Authority” yet, it is understandable why we are not on this list.
However, we can study this list and figure out why they are on the list and what we need to do to get on this list.
The following list of the best parenting websites and blogs have found a way to crunch all the important information for parents.
It’s not easy to run one of the best parenting websites online. I run a lackluster website and it’s hard damn work. I can’t imagine how much effort goes into a website for real!!!
Keeping up to date on the constantly changing information, facts, research and studies about kids and parenting is a thankless job plus add in all the fads, trends, crazy news stories and it takes a huge staff to keep it all flowing on the daily. The following parenting websites and blogs have found a way to crunch all the information together and present it to busy parents. I thank thee.
Here’s my list of the best parenting websites and blogs online today. I’ve broken the parenting website list down into two categories. The serious websites and the not-so-serious website. You’re smart enough to understand the difference. At least I hope so, for your kid’s sake.

Out With The Kids — From the creator of OWTK “I’m Jeff Bogle and I started Out With The Kids (OWTK) when my 1st daughter (known around here as The Bear) was 2-years old.

Since that modest blogging birth, OWTK has grown into a recognized and oft quoted voice in the kindie rock music world, and, occasionally, in the kid’s theater, literature and toy worlds…and my family has grown to include a 2nd child (The Mouse.) I am kid’s music’s toughest critic and most fearless champion.”
