The Story Behind Revolucionmama

Parenting advice arrives from every direction, often at the same time and often in conflict. Revolucionmama aims to be a calmer place to read about family life, one that treats mothers and the people around them as capable adults.

The site is arranged under four headings that mirror how a household actually runs.

Ground covered

Motherhood. Pieces here deal with the experience of becoming and being a mother, from early weeks to later years. They acknowledge that families differ and that there is rarely one right way.

Family Life. Routines, relationships, schooling, money and time together are discussed with practical suggestions. The aim is to make ordinary days easier, not to set a standard to measure up to.

Health & Wellbeing. Physical and emotional wellbeing for parents and children is covered in general terms, with sources named. Where a topic needs a professional, the article says so plainly.

Home & Lifestyle. Cooking, organizing, decorating and managing a busy home are treated as skills that can be learned. Ideas come with realistic notes on time and cost.

Written for

Expecting mothers, parents of young children, and relatives and friends who want to understand what a family is going through will find it useful.

Our approach

Articles draw on health agencies, reputable organizations and published research for factual statements, and on lived experience only where it is described as such. Pages are reviewed and corrected when better information appears.
