Fashion meets mom life? Sign us up! Lainy Hedaya is great for some fashion inspo and adorable baby pics. She calls being a mom on social media “interesting,” and while some moms feel the need to share everything with their followers, she does not. “I spend a lot of my time just him and I … and most of what I capture of him gets sent to family,” she said. “On another note, he’s really so cute and I am beyond obsessed with him.”

Livvie Jane
Livvie Jane not only serves cute mom content but also beautiful interior design. She says that her kids influence her decor. “The best part of motherhood has been the way it’s shifted my perspective to live more simply, slowly and intentionally,” she said. “Childhood is such a magical and fleeting time and I want to be as present as possible for my kids. I’ve observed that by slowing down, I can engage more deeply in whatever I’m doing and by simplifying life (activities, belongings, rhythms, everything really) I’m making space for what’s most important.”

Not only is Tiffany Jenkins freakin’ hilarious, but she is also here to serve the mom realness we all need. “As soon as I saw that I was able to impact people’s lives by sharing openly and honestly about my past with addiction and mental health, I made that my purpose,” she told Life & Style. “I realized that the internet needed something real on their newsfeed and so I made it my mission to be as awkward and weird as possible so that others know they aren’t alone and it’s okay to be exactly who they are.”

Sia, the self-proclaimed “Home Workout Queen,” combines the best of healthy living while balancing life as a mother. She said that her little ones make the best business partners. “If it weren’t for my children, I would not have this wonderful business or be a mommy influencer, so I owe them for my success. I am always happy to feature them on my page because my followers love seeing them and they light up other peoples’ days.”

I Mom So Hard
“When we started #IMOMSOHARD, we were blown away by all the strong, funny and fantastic women who started to follow our page,” Kristin and Jen said. “We continue to create content and hopefully deliver the laughs because this ‘mom game’ is tough and can be isolating. We want women (moms or not) to feel like, for a moment, that it is perfectly okay to be just okay. There are so many forces telling women ‘you aren’t enough’ and we are here to tell you ‘you are plenty.’ And then we pour a glass of wine (if that’s your thing) and toast to surviving another day.”

Jacey Duprie is all about having her photo albums online for the world to see. “There’s an underlying assumption that having a documentation of your family and photos is negative. I would have loved to see my life and footage of my childhood, my parents and grandparents. I think you just have to check yourself and be cognizant of boundaries for for your child’s future self. Many people say, ‘What if June (my daughter) doesn’t want to be on social media?’ My answer is that we live in a very digital world now and that is not moving backwards. I am not prohibiting her from becoming anything less than her best self by sharing photos of her online.”

“Being a mother and also an influencer has truly changed myself and my brand,” Lindsi Lane told Life & Style. “I went through a very tough pregnancy with my baby boy Tallin, and through that journey, have connected to so many incredible mothers all around the world, who have given me their support and love.” Not only is Lindsi a badass mom, but she is also a killer businesswoman and recently collaborated with lingerie brand Hanky Panky. “Opening the ‘lane’ to motherhood on my feed has also opened so many more doors for new and exciting job opportunities, that I, of course, was not able to explore prior to motherhood. I’m a working mama doing it all right now. With Tallin in one arm and my iPhone in the other, it’s a tough balance but that’s what amazing heels are for.”

“As a mom in the digital age, my kids have both been on social media since they were born,” Rachel Pitzel shares. “There are so many myths about motherhood, and so many things that no one will share publicly. Many of my posts I get few comments and my DMs are flooded with parents sharing their stories, asking me questions and thanking me for my honesty. My son, Grayson, has dyslexia, and I’ve found parents are very nervous about sharing anything that’s perceived as less than perfect publicly. But he’s taught me that we all have our unique idiosyncrasies. Some are more visible or noticeable than others, but only by sharing and engaging in a conversation can we learn what’s actually occurring as opposed to being told what’s ‘normal.’ Right?! People often ask me if I’m nervous that my kids may be bullied in their teenage years. But I can’t worry about things that may or may not happen. I love sharing our reality and I feel like parents are more open today, and we are therefore raising more accepting children.”

Mama Watters has another little one on the way and somehow manages to keep life serene. “The uplifting community, inspiration and day to day beauty on social media is what keeps me sharing our family’s story there,” she told Life & Style. “I also love learning from the way others choose to do life and enjoy the creative outlet that being a mommy influencer offers in this season of my life as a mother of three soon to be four little ones.”

Lauren Gores
Lauren Gores makes motherhood look chic, effortless and real. She is proud of the community she gets to represent online. “I am so grateful to be mothering at a time when I have a community of other women to both lift up and lean on,” she tells Life & Style. “I have intentionally chosen to share my own journey of motherhood with others — from my pregnancy, to the emotional early days of welcoming my son, to launching a business while he was still a newborn, to now — as I very openly share the imbalance of mommying and working. I find so much joy and inspiration from others on this path, and my hope is that I do the same for anyone looking in. Being a mom is hard and unpredictably trying. It’s also overwhelmingly happy. And what I love about my community is that we don’t have to experience it alone. I do think it’s important to note that I have chosen to share my son through my lens, but I am careful to not write his narrative for him. So while I am very open with my own journey, I always want his own life story to remain his to tell.”

Mama and Tata
Candice Miller, the woman behind Mama & Tata, is here to help NYC and L.A. moms and empower the next generation. “I set out to help and support women, particularly mothers, find the best, most trusted resources in major cities and inspire them to follow their dreams by sharing other female founder’s stories,” she said. “Empowering women, supporting them, elevating them and collaborating with them is what has gotten us to this incredible evolutionary time in history, and it’s important for me to spread that message through my blog,” she added. “I’m raising the next generation of leading ladies, and that is what inspired me to start Mama & Tata on a personal level. If I can have a hand in helping create a stronger sense of community for women, a place where women feel inspired to follow their heart, feel safe and speak freely, then my platform is everything I’d hoped it would be.”

“Being an influencer is what I do, while being a mom is who I am,” Mattie James told Life & Style. “I’ve always been the kind of creator who has a level of transparency with my followers and showing my experience as a mom does just that. I love my children and getting to do work with them in some of my campaigns is a win-win!”

Mom and influencer Wynne is a special soul to say the least. She juggles her fashion blog in addition to taking care of her daughter with special needs. “As an influencer, I share my love of fashion, handbags and accessories (coffee, too!) within the context of living in L.A. As a special needs working mom, my family is the foundation of my life and source of pride,” she told Life & Style. “Through my IG stories, I share glimpses of who we are – a family that, despite unexpected circumstances, celebrates everyday moments, big and small. Beyond a mutual obsession for fashion and luxury handbags, is discovering the common threads of love and inspiration that binds us all. I am grateful to have a platform that showcases both of those identities.”
