Here's another great one, very similar to "Early Mama." It's called, "The Young Mommy Life."
Tara Pringle Jefferson is the founder and editor of TheYoungMommyLife.com, one of the first websites created specifically for young mothers’ concerns. She is an author, social media consultant and young parent advocate. Created in 2008, The Young Mommy Life has been featured on Sirius XM, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, Ebony

global movement for changing how young mothers are perceived in the
media, by policymakers, and in our communities.

Tiny Blue Lines
This next site, "Tiny Blue Lines," is impressive too. The site is by Chaunie, a freelance writer, speaker, labor and delivery nurse,
and an advocate for women facing unexpected pregnancy. She's the mom to two
little girls and one "adorably chunky little man." And she's writing the
book on young motherhood.
