Moving up to the top spot for our 2025 update is In The Playroom, where Anna and Luciana have been busy writing about family activities, life, fashion, health, and relationships since its 2012 launch. Boasting five children between them, the In The Playroom duo (and their regular contributors) are experts in their field, sharing their know-how to ‘inspire creativity in your home and family’. Check out features focusing on home and lifestyle, tips for travel, and inspiration for future craft projects.
Still high in the ranking for 2025 is Jen Walshaw, the voice behind Mum In The Madhouse. A ‘firm believer in the joy that can be found in living a creative family life, even in this digital age’, Jen has been sharing this outlook with her audience for around 15 years now. Her blog sections are dedicated to crafts, recipes, and parenting, where Jen champions important subjects like diversity and ‘conversations about the role women over 50 play in the influencer landscape’ – all in addition to ‘the joys of parenting teenagers’.
Sticking at number three is Uju Asika’s Babes About Town, where parents can explore ‘cool finds, activities, and experiences’ around the UK capital city. Discover top destinations, must-read books, food hotspots, and weekend trips to plan for the family, as well as ways to look after yourself. Check out recent posts on the value of ‘me time’ and simple ways to help your home keep up with family life. Want more from Uju?

Heading north, we have North East Family Fun, which was launched back in 2012 by bloggers Sam and Steve. Now a ‘go-to resource’ for ‘things to do, places to visit and dine, plus holiday and staycation reviews’ in the North East of England, this blog caters to parents, carers, and grandparents looking for ideas, including child-free families, too. With a focus on days out, walks and playgrounds, restaurants and bars, theatre reviews, and short breaks, the site serves as a full ‘what’s on’ guide to the area.
5. Honest Mum
Let’s get honest – if you’re looking for upfront and candid parenting content, you’ve come to the right place with Honest Mum. Blogger, broadcaster, and published author Vicki Broadbent started this blog back in 2010 with an aim to rediscover her voice and confidence, and has since built up a dedicated following interested in her takes on family, food, fashion, travel and beauty. Check out recent posts on her 15 years in the blogging space, and the release of her latest book for children ‘Greek Myths, Folktales & Legends’.
Up a spot from last year is Rainy Day Mum, the ideal resource for indoor family activities when the UK weather makes outdoor adventures difficult. When it’s raining (or windy, or snowing), check out ‘simple and easy ideas to do with your kids to learn, create, cook, play, read and have fun’. Sections include Cooking With Kids, Kids Crafts, Kids Books, Gardening With Kids, Science, Nature, Maths, and History, allowing parents to keep their children engaged outside of school, and inside the home.
Chronicling her life through ‘cooking, running, searching for a healthier lifestyle’ and parenting at ‘What the Redhead Said’ is Donna Wishart, a self-described ‘Mummy. Blogger. Social Media Manager. Baker. Fudge Maker. Traveller. Lover of stars, rainbows and gin’. With over 13 years of blogging experience, Donna went full-time in November 2016 and now covers everything family, alongside general lifestyle topics. Just in time for the run-up to Christmas, check out gift ideas for each family member, as well as festive events to visit around the country.
Moving up from last year’s tenth spot is Yorkshire Tots-To-Teens – here to help ‘busy parents find family fun in Yorkshire’. Yorkshire-based mum Erin and her husband Bill provide event summaries, detailed days-out posts, as well as a full events calendar to make family planning simple. For quick help and inspiration, scroll on through the Days Out Directory by region, city, or category, and for the festive season, find upcoming family events in November, December, and Christmas days out in Yorkshire for the best of the best.
Entering the top 10 of our top 20 (moving up from last year’s 14th spot) is Working Daddy, offering ‘Life 360’ to readers in posts on travelling, parenting, finances, home and garden, health, and technology. This blog is now a ‘team effort of working daddies and mommies’, offering family holiday travel guides, parenting tips, and much more. It’s not all about the kids, though – this blog is also here to support the parents themselves – read up on tools that can save you time, productivity boosters when working from home, and business tips.
10. DIY Daddy
Covering the ‘trials and tribulations’ of fatherhood is DIY Daddy, who doesn’t just know his way around a tool belt, but also tackles important family matters. ‘Over the years I’ve found being a dad challenging and interesting, but most of all it’s the most rewarding experience of my life,’ says the blogger. If you’re a parent who is feeling overwhelmed, read up on daily practices for a clearer mind, ways to improve your domestic cooking skills, and building stronger bonds with your children.
