Discover 8 blogs about motherhood

About 15 days after quitting her job, publicist Shirley Hilgert found out she was pregnant. As she already had a blog about reading, many people suggested that she also write about motherhood, but, since Shirley hadn’t changed a diaper until that moment, she didn’t think it was her thing. One day, she forgot her house key and waited for her husband to arrive. So, she took a pad and started to write the Mother’s Lifehacks🇧🇷 Thus was born the blog, which was filled with very practical tips that Shirley was testing in her daily life. Now that her son is born, she uses her experience to answer questions that all mothers face and shows that motherhood is not always a bed of roses.

So, they hired a web designer and spent four months researching the topic and writing texts, allowing the blog to go live full of information. The range of subjects is quite large. It ranges from education to fashion, passing through health, parties and suggestions for innovative products in the national and international market. But the big difference Just Real Moms is that the posts seem to be taken from a conversation between mothers and talk about topics that are rarely addressed in other media, such as “The 10 things that almost nobody says about breastfeeding” and “How grandmothers should behave”.

When her daughter turned 1 year old, Nívea decided to share on the internet everything she had learned in those 12 months of motherhood and that she believed would be very useful for other mothers who are going through the same difficulties: calming down the little one, making him wake up less during at night, facilitate the introduction of a solid diet.
