As a mum we are constantly comparing ourselves to other mums! We vow to never do it but just can’t help ourselves. These days there are so many social media platforms that it can be somewhat overwhelming and seriously time consuming to be on everything and emulate everything we see. No one has that much time, especially us mums.
Whether I want to see new fashion, cooking, home trends, Instagram and TikTok are my go to platforms. My obsession since becoming a mother is following other mums. Some give me envy, others fill me with a warm feeling of meeting a long lost friend. Whichever category they fit into the one they definitely fit into is interesting. So, here are my top 10 accounts, which I am sure you will love as much as me.

Diana Abdallah (@insta_doonz) • Instagram photos and videos
This has to be my most favourite account of 2020, which is when I discovered her. She is an Arab mum living in San Diego, USA. She shares her mum life with us. She has 3 young kids, 2 being twin girls. She shares what they get up to but with a large dose of humour. Her sarcasm and humour about her kids is brilliant. It’s mum humour at its best.
