Being a parent is an amazing and magical experience, and it’s spectacular to see your kids learn and grow before your eyes.
However, if you haven’t heard, parenting can also be a challenge. There are thousands of Canadian parents just like you that are experiencing the same speed bumps, and it just so happens that a few of those parents share their experiences and tips online too.
Here’s a list of 12 Canadian bloggers that help parents (just like you) be the best parents that they can.
1. Joanna Venditti – nestingstory.ca
On nestingstory.ca, Joanna shares her stories of motherhood, interior design, lifestyle, and wellness.
Back in 2013, with twins on the way, Joanna decided to create a personal blog and share her insights and stories with others. Residing in Milton, Ontario, she continues to share her expertise and parenting skills through her very well-designed and inspirational blog.

3. Rebekah Higgs – diymom.ca
Rebekah Higgs is truly inspirational. After moving to Toronto from the East Coast, Rebekah became a single mother at the age of 31. With a lack of energy living in the city, she decided to move back home, where her father gave her the opportunity to live in a run-down rental property for free in exchange for renovating the house.
By the time Rebekah was 34, she created the Welcome Home Project, a web series showcasing how she renovated a 1951 styled home. Her love for home renovations and storytelling pushed her to create the DIY Mom blog in 2015, where Rebekah shares her creative ideas helping other single mothers like her who are in need of help, but on a small budget.
Today, Rebekah continues to share her wisdom, being an inspiration to mothers all across Canada.
