I first started my blog as a bit of a creative outlet; a little place where I could connect and share through our journey of motherhood.

Yet over the couple of years I’ve been here, it’s become so much more. It’s become a place where I’ve made some wonderful friends, both online and in real life (and in my head – nudge nudge, Zoe).

These amazing ‘Insta-mums’ are also bloggers, authors, entrepreneurs, and all ’round legends — and they are absolutely dominating the world of IG in my opinion. So get those thumbs ready, ladies, to have a scroll through a few of favourite ‘Insta-mums’ feeds.

Zoe Foster Blake: @zotheysay

So I thought we’d just start with the obvious, right? I mean, Zoe’s amazing, and has that ‘she can totally be my bestie’ vibe about her. Plus her husband is hilarious and her baby is cute AF.

Rozalia Russian: @rozalia_russian

Roza, a Melbourne-based lifestyle and fashion blogger, is one of my absolute favourites. She is also mumma to adorable Willow, with another on the way. Roza is hands-down one you need to be following – especially if you love a stylish bump. You can also check out my interview with Roza here.

Revie Jane Schulz: @reviejane

She is the crossfittin’ mama who recently took the world by storm with her gorgeous bump. I am in absolute awe of this babe and her adorable family. Every day she is inspiring women everywhere with her positive approach to body image and self love. She’s definitely at the top of my ‘must-follow’ list on Instagram.

Tara Dixon: @taradixon

Remember those fabulous friends I said I met through the wonderful world of Instagram? Well, meet my internet-turned-real life bestie, Tara.

This woman is incredible, and kinda crazy if you ask me. She runs several successful businesses, including the uber-stylish Branche, providing original sequinned monogram tees for you and your little one.

Plus her kids are adorable and she likes dumplings and wine – it kind of makes her the perfect human in my eyes!

Jules Coffey: @newmumstheword

You know you’ve found your soulmate when you spend all your time tagging one other in hilarious memes about, well, casual alcoholism that are “so us”.

But seriously, this woman is hilarious, she’s intelligent and she’s a massive babe. Plus, she has an adorable baby, a French Bulldog and a husband with a ‘Harvey Spector’ hair cut – honestly, can we tone down it down a bit, guys?

Jess Dempsey: @whatwouldkarldo

So, this is where my inner-creep really comes out. I’ve literally been following Jess since before Instagram existed, I think, back when I was actually ‘cool’ and cared about fashion. I have followed Jess on her journey to motherhood and beyond (yet she stayed stylish AF while I’m still wearing the same maternity leggings from pregnancy number one).

Kelly Freestone: @freestylemama

You know those perfect squares, all white and matchy? That’s Kelly. But Kelly is an absolute beautiful soul both inside and out. Oh and of course her adorable son Mason with his infectious smile. OK, and maybe we kind of arranged a marriage between our children – can you blame me?

NAME CHANGE. I’ve been doing some thinking and decided that we needed a bit of a change. For a few reasons, but basically because it was brought to my attention that when we have another baby said child may feel left out if they aren’t included in my Insta name (like they would care really, but I would feel bad) and I didn’t want to end up having a name that was longer than a news headline. My friend Jules suggested @freestylemama and I laughed at first, but the more I thought about it I realised how smart she actually is. Let me clarify,
