Retro Mummy
This fellow blogger is an Australian who is getting a lot of (very well-deserved) attention for her blog and parenting activities. I have no idea how she finds the time to update her blog/twitter/facebook etc so often. She is also the online Mum that I tweet when I have a question about something baby-related!
She has recently revamped her blog after her fifth (!) child and it looks amazing - as do all of her babies and not-so-babies. With headings such as blog, family, bake, sew, quilt and a few others, her site is a great resource for any new Mum!

Annabel Langbein's Blog
I adore Annabel. From the husky way she introduces her TV episodes, to the advice she gives about growing your own in her cookbooks - she is brilliant!
Annabel has two children (I think) that are mostly grown-up now but continues to feature family friends children and her own family in her TV episodes and cookbooks. Annabel is such an inspiration for me, as a woman who has achieved that work-life/ family-life balance doing what she loves and not compromising on her standards.
As someone who wishes that they were a bit of a Francophile I can see a lot of French influence in the way that Annabel approaches life. I believe that she does have quite a few French friends and has spent some time there.
In Australia, her new book Simple Pleasures has just come out but the TV series has not started yet. I have flipped through her book in the bookshop and am hoping to find it in my Christmas stocking as it looks jam-packed with new recipes and ideas. Are you listening husband?

Sprouted Kitchen
This blog has the most stunning photography going - ok I know that there are many others up for that prize! This blog is authored and photographed by husband and wife team Sara and Hugh Forte (what a good musical name).
The Sprouted Kitchen features recipes designed around wholefoods and they have just released their first cookbook Sprouted Kitchen: A Tastier Take on Whole Foods. The blog also features discussions on food trends (such as ingredients and new coffee making methods), travel and reviews of other cookbooks.

Supercharged Food
Lee Holmes (another Aussie) is probably not a new name to you but I had to include her website in my list. Just loading her page makes me feel like being a healthy domestic goddess. Lee is a health coach but graciously offers a lot of information and advice on her website for free!
Lee's website has recipes for food, recipes for natural cleaning products, tips on dehydrating food, links to cooking videos (mostly raw food), a online shop and is all done in the most enchanting, retro-fairy-princess style imaginable.

Elegant Musings
This is another blog that you probably all know about already but as she is expecting her first child - she is going to be the most stylish mother going! And how cute will her baby look in all those hand-made outfits.
Casey Brown blogs about sewing projects, daily outfits, recipes, things she finds thrifting, crafting and she also has a great section of tutorials for sewing and crafting items. In the past she has hosted sew-alongs with great results - it is my goal to complete one of these one day. Casey is also great at updating her blog regularly with her maternity wear and for my next baby I will certainly be stealing her style.
