Lifestyle blogs in Canada you’ll love reading this year

When it comes to parenting hacks, real-life routines, home style, wellness, and messy kitchen moments, mom (and dad) bloggers still have it covered.

Canadian lifestyle creators aren’t just sharing recipes and DIY tips – they’re building communities that feel honest, comforting, and sometimes hilarious. These aren’t just polished Instagram feeds. They’re places where real families talk about what works, what flops, and how we can all feel a little less alone in the chaos.

Here are our top 6 lifestyle blogs to follow in Canada this year – written by moms, dads, and creatives who make everyday life feel more connected:

  1. Nesting Story
  2. DIY MOM
  3. Milk & Coco
  4. Bit of Momsense
  5. A Dad’s Adventures
  6. Ottawa Mommy Club

1. Nesting Story | @nestingstory

“Motherhood, identity, and finding yourself again.”

Joanna Venditti’s blog is a go-to for many Canadian moms navigating life after babies. What started as a personal space to document postpartum body changes has grown into a full-blown platform on motherhood, identity, and personal evolution.

You’ll find honest reflections on family life, career transitions, and what it really means to find yourself again, without pretending it’s easy. Her writing stands out for its openness, especially when discussing mental health and body image. A recent post reflecting on fitting into “mom jeans that make me look fat” struck a chord with many readers.

2. DIY MOM | @diymom.ca

“Stylish DIY projects you’ll actually try.”

If you’ve ever looked at a beautiful room makeover and thought, “I could never do that,” Natalie from DIY MOM will change your mind. Her blog blends minimalist DIY projects with family-friendly design, often using affordable materials and a lot of humour.

She recently showed how to paint a KURA bed from IKEA, and it’s already a hit with parents of toddlers. Whether she’s organizing a frock box unboxing or recommending the best nightstand alternatives (hello, NESNA nightstand), her ideas feel fresh, doable, and stylish.

Milk & Coco is a lifestyle blog with heart. Run by a Canadian couple navigating parenthood, this blog offers everything from baby gear reviews to candid posts on family life as parents of colour.

They’ve posted helpful tips on cooking chicken in a Breville oven and even shared their favourite dark chocolate cherry bark recipe. Their tone is warm and welcoming, and their posts often tackle the everyday things that matter most, including how to survive Disney on Ice Mickey’s Search Party in Vancouver with small kids in tow.

Tyler – dad of three, engineer, and photographer – brings a refreshing West Coast perspective to the parenting blog scene. A Dad’s Adventures focuses on family tech, gear reviews, and hands-on parenting stories with a Vancouver Island twist.

Whether he’s discussing how long to deep fry frozen spring rolls or reviewing equalizer bars for road-tripping families, the blog combines gear smarts with family feels. He also shared a heartfelt post about choosing a leather wristlet keychain for his daughter’s birthday.
