About Mommies with Style

Founded in 2004, Mommies with Style is a community of Moms who like to chat about what products we buy and use with our kids. Our daily blog discusses a variety of products from diaper bags to Dad products to kids toys. We like to throw in a coupon code or discount with most posts.
We’re just a bunch of real Moms. Some of us come from an industry background, some don’t. If you’re here, you fit in just fine as we cover a wide variety of topics. We even have lots of non-Mom members like aunts or friends looking for gift ideas, so feel free to jump on in, no matter who you are.
Community is important to us. This site is a collective of the works of many Mom writers, members and columnists who make this site what it is. Without our members, our readers and our writers, this site would not be the success that it is – and for that, we thank you.
If you would like to contact one of the writers below, please email info@mommieswithstyle.com and your email will be forwarded to the appropriate person.
