13 Salt Lake City Bloggers to Follow
Contents
Perhaps the Mecca of mom blogging, Salt Lake City and its surrounding Utah suburbs are host to no shortage of amazing mothers sharing their stories online. In Utah, many of these blogs were started as a way to update extended family about grandchildren, nieces and nephews and all the things families get up to.
As time went on, mom blogging became a different beast. It wasn’t just family members checking out these blogs anymore; other moms started joining the readership ranks, too. Some bloggers turned their sites into businesses, leveraging them as a way to bring in an income while helping other parents out there on their journeys.

Ever Clever Mom
Ever Clever Mom is the type of blog you think of when you think of an adorable mom blog–with a couple twists. Its owner, Carly Morgan, shares reviews of baby and children’s products, summer reading list suggestions, recipes, musings on parenting and more.
Morgan’s blog also ventures into health issues, as well, though. When he was still a baby, her son had to undergo surgery for craniosynostosis, and she has another child with food allergies. She shares these parts of her life openly, allowing mothers in similar situations to know they’re not alone.
Mrs. Lady Wordsmith
Kerry Smith of Mrs. Lady Wordsmith writes a mom blog that strongly incorporates her LDS (Mormon) faith. If you’re looking for recommendations for clean books for your book club, Easter posts that focus on the resurrection, or tips for laundering garments, Smith has you covered.
You don’t have to have an interest in the LDS faith to find value in Smith’s work, though. Smith is a mother of two sons, the youngest of whom has Autism. Mrs. Lady Wordsmith follows their family’s journey into the education system, ways to work on social skills and even specific resources for Utah families.
She also discusses fun family activities in Utah, does product reviews and provides free printables for her readers.
