All the Blogs for Older Women You Should be Reading Now

One of my most popular posts on Midlife Rambler is a quick list of five other Midlife Blogs that I really liked. As I wrote in my original post, I started Midlife Rambler because I honestly believed that there were no other lifestyle blogs that spoke to the needs of older women – those of over 40 or even 50 years of age.

I was wrong – so wrong! – but blogs for women our age do tend to fall under the radar.

I’ve continued to discover amazing women bloggers during my blogging journey and it’s time to recognize us all! I’ll keep this list updated and evergreen so if I didn’t list you, let me know in the comments. We all deserve a little love!

So without further ado, here are all my favorite blogs for women over 40 (or 50):

UPDATE: I’m not surprised to discover that this is just a small subset of midlife bloggers! If you’d like to be added to this list, please comment on this post with your blog’s URL. I’ll update the list once a week and delete your comment when you’ve been added to the main list. Thanks so much!
