10 Best (Free!) WordPress Themes for Mommy Bloggers
I’ve always been obsessed with the design of blogs. To me, a design can make or break a website. If I click on a link and end up at a site that is poorly designed or organized, I’m out. Judgmental of me, I know. But I’m just not going to waste my time trying to figure out what I’m looking at and how to find the information I want. I hate clutter and blinking graphics. I like order and colors that work together well. That’s not too much to ask, is it?
When trying to decide on the design of my blog, I immediately looked into WordPress, because it is the best blogging platform out there. (IMO, of course). The designs are gorgeous, the dashboard is intuitive, and you can either host with them or self-host your blog. There are so many high-quality, free WordPress themes out there, you just can’t go wrong. I often grab a free theme and customize it to my liking.
When selecting the best themes for mommy bloggers, I kept both design and simplicity in mind. I looked for themes that had useful features and customizable options. And most importantly, I made sure they were F-R-E-E! Click on the images to go where you can download them.
1. Blissful Blog. Clean, simple, and classy. Not to mention, girly. 
For those of you who want to focus on content.
2. Bueno. This free theme by Woothemes is awesome sauce. It’s fully widgetized, has integrated ad management for you Google Ad lovers, and has 7 different color schemes. (But honestly, why change from the pink?) Woothemes has some other gorgeous free themes you should check out.
3. Licorice. How retro is this theme? It uses Google fonts and has a customizable background.
4. WordPress Diary. You can change the color scheme and it’s widget-ready, all decked out in CSS3 and HTML5. What? Forget it. Trust me, it’s awesome.
5. Lap of Luxury. How bling is this theme? Totally Kardashian. I love it so much I almost used it here. Perfect for a girly blog of any kind.
6. Chunk. Holy cow, do I love this theme. For the modern woman who wants to be heard. Simple, clean, and loud, baby.
7. Strange Little Town. For those of you who prefer more colorful, whimsical designs, this one’s perfect. What’s more, the background and header are customizable, if you’re interested in getting your hands dirty with some Photoshop.
8. Bold Life. Are you into the grungy look? This is the best free grungy theme out there. The focus is still on the content, and the theme has got a lot of great options.
9. Quintus. Vintage with lots of options. You can change the color scheme as well as the header. Love it.
10. Balita. This is a gorgeously girly WordPress e-commerce theme. Are you selling kids’ clothes? Toys? Baby gear? This is your theme. So perfect!

I think my two favorites are #4 (the diary)and #5 (the lap of luxury). In fact, I am going to get the Diary theme right now and tweak on it a little for one of my sites.
Thanks so much for taking the time to compile this list. (Even if I’m not a *mommy blogger*) =)
Cenay – So glad you found it useful! #5 is definitely my fave.
