All the Blogs for Older Women You Should be Reading Now

This article may contain affiliate links.

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!

Families & Relationships

Fashion & Beauty

Health & Fitness

Humor

Living Your Best Life

Midlife Musings

Recipes, Crafts, DIY & Other Hobbies

When I started Midlife Rambler I honestly believed there were no other lifestyle blogs that spoke to the needs of midlife women. I was wrong - so wrong! - but blogs for women our age do tend to fall under the radar. Here's a megalist of the blogs you'll want to start reading today.

    That is a fantastic list! Some I already follow, and a few more I will now add! Thank you! I would love to be considered for this list as well, I would fall under Lifestyle (I do both fashion and recipes. But I focus a little more on Fashion) And always a dose of encouragement at the end :) Mine is called "Your Favorite Chapter" because I believe no matter where you are at in life or what has gone on before, this chapter can still be your favorite chapter. http://www.yourfavoritechapter.com

    Awesome list! I'm 49 years old and do aerial trapeze for fun. My blog Fem40Fitness is all about being interested in extreme fitness after 40. I talk about good gear to buy, try to debunk myths about aging and fitness, and hope to be a body positive place for mid life women who want to push themselves. I'd love it if you could include my blog!

    Great list. But why leave out the guys? My new blog at http://www.inmidlife.com tries to comment on things of interest to both women and men. I suppose it would fit under Midlife musings, but tries to touch on most of the other categories. One recent post you may enjoy is about the joy of travelling with your adult children. Please check it out. Thanks!

    Thoroughly depressed by the constant onslaught of "pretty young things" on blogging platforms, I googled "midlife blogs" and found you! Wow! So glad to know I am not a voice in the wilderness - though sorry to se you don't appear to have an "environmental/ethical" category to pop me in :(
    May I be cheeky and ask to be the pioneer of this?? I write from thee heart about things that matter to me (and the planet) - responsible travel, ethical consumerism and anything that affects the environment - from the decks of a beautiful Dutch sailing barge. You'll find me here when you have a cup of your favourite beverage on hand and a comfortable seat to relax in ;)

    This is the list I have been looking for!
    I was getting somewhat disillusioned with all of the fashion tips, and felt all the parenting sites were aimed at people with babies and toddlers rather than late teens and older.
    I will grab a coffee and get to work on a mass read!
    And, if allowable a shameless plug of my own small blog. I am attempting to combat my mid-life crisis with a bucket list to keep me busy.
    It probably falls under lifestyle/life improvement as that is what I am trying to do over at Pollyspadblog.Com ( https://pollyspadblog.com/ )

    This is such a great blog. I have started a journey of my own, just separated and with an eminent divorce looming, next month I will be 50 and frankly, the whole process is overwhelming and I am scared about all the uncertainties. I have gone ahead and put myself out there with a YouTube Chanel to share my journey. I figured that it will not only be self-empowering but that sharing the whole process may be inspiring for others who may be going through the same situation. Please visit my YouTube channel here, thank you for supporting me in my journey! <3 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVPlHZfU9etVGoGbA6DM-6A

    This is exactly how I felt when I started my blog, Middle Aged Mama, about 5 years ago! I'd be thrilled if you added my blog to your list, probably under the Lifestyle category because I do a bit of everything. I'm in Brisbane Australia, and my tag line is "fashioning a new life after the kids are grown".

    This is a great list. Like you when you began, I have been hunting for blogs like mine and at first couldn't really find anything. I'd love to be included if you're still updating. Thanks again for the resource. I've been looking on Pinterest and everywhere to find similar groups.
