We’ve had quite the year! We launched Ur Basic Mom just one year ago as a collaborative blog about the daily struggles and laughs in momming. Since then, we’ve grown to a team of 20 and we’ve had posts shared all over the country. Our incredible reach and impact is a real testament to both our readers and incredible writers. We are excited for even bigger and better things to come in 2019, but we are also happy to salute 2018 and the posts that got us to where we are.
Here are the top 10 Ur Basic Mom posts of 2018!
