With an estimated 82.5 million women in the U.S. with children and birth rates higher than they have been in 45 years — that’s right, a baby boom! — moms represent the most powerful consumer group in the U.S., controlling 85 percent of household spending estimated to be worth $2.1 trillion.
Bottom line: you’ve come to the right place, advertisers.
In fact, the baby boom shows no sign of slowing down, positioning high-quality, parent-focused blogs such as The Laughing Stork as significant influencers on all sorts of topics, from fashion to food, TV to travel — especially as studies reveal moms spend more time surfing the Internet than watching television.

Published by former television writer and expectant mother Candy Kirby, The Laughing Stork is not just another mommy blog; Candy’s unique first-person writing style and humorous approach engage readers and encourage a more interactive community, providing an entertaining and intimate context for brand-building messages.
