8 Long Island Mom Blogs We Love

3/20/15 - By Linda DiProperzio

As the mom of two boys, I often turn to the ultimate experts when I need parenting advice on raising kids on Long Island: other moms. And aside from the women I know personally, I also enjoy reading blogs by local moms willing to share their words of wisdom and insider tips on everything from saving money and where to find the best deals to product reviews and how to raise healthy kids. Here are eight sites definitey worth checking out. And if you have your own personal favorite, feel free to share it in the comment section below.

Long Island Parent Source
Launched in 2006, LI Parent Source aims to be a go-to resource for moms and dads on not just cool events across the Island, but also product reviews, discount codes, yummy recipes, travel tips and craft projects. There are also interesting guest posts, like a recent one by a dad coping with his wife’s multiple miscarriages and their struggle to conceive.
