What is Mom-101TM?
Mom-101™ is the personal blog of writer Liz Gumbinner, whose tagline is "I don't know what I'm doing either." It is a long-running, voice-driven parenting and lifestyle site rather than a structured resource: readers came for candid essays and commentary on parenting, media and culture, written in a wry, self-deprecating first-person style.
The page now functions mainly as a signpost. The author notes she is "not here much anymore" and directs readers to where she is active instead, including her Substack, Blue Sky, Threads, Instagram and Facebook, plus the Spawned podcast.
Who it suits, and what to expect
- Readers who enjoy personal-essay parenting writing and want to follow a specific writer's voice.
- People looking for a podcast or social feeds rather than a browsable archive of how-to articles.
- Anyone expecting current, frequently updated posts will likely be disappointed; the site's own page points elsewhere for new work.
Practical next step: if you want the writer's recent output, treat the homepage as a directory and follow one of the linked channels; if you want a sample of the original blog style, read the archived posts before deciding whether the tone is for you.
Where can I find Liz Gumbinner's current writing and updates?
Liz Gumbinner's Mom-101 blog is no longer her active home base. A note on the site itself says she is "not here much anymore" and points readers to where she now publishes.
Where she points readers now
- Substack ("I'm Walking Here") — her main ongoing writing, described on the site as similar to the blog "only better." This is the best starting point if you want new essays and updates, and subscribing gets them sent to you.
- Spawned Podcast — an award-winning podcast she co-hosts, useful if you prefer listening, especially on parenting topics.
- Social accounts — she lists mom101 on Blue Sky, Threads and Instagram, plus mom101blog on Facebook. These are better for quick updates, links and conversation than for long-form posts.
Practical next step
If you only want one destination, start with the Substack: it is where the blog's style of personal writing has moved, and it is the only option built for regular delivery by email. Add one social follow if you want shorter, more frequent notes between posts.
For context, Mom-101 sits alongside other long-running personal parenting blogs such as Dooce and Amalah, which followed a similar arc of moving much of their day-to-day conversation to newsletters and social platforms.
How do I subscribe to Liz Gumbinner's Substack newsletter?
Liz Gumbinner's Substack is called I'm Walking Here, and that's where she now publishes instead of on Mom-101. She describes it as "a bit like this place, only better" — so if you liked Mom-101, that's the successor.
To subscribe:
- Go to Mom-101TM and look for the post titled "Where to find me now," which links directly to the Substack.
- On the Substack page, enter your email address in the subscribe field.
- Confirm via the email Substack sends you, then choose free or paid if both are offered.
One practical note: the post is from 2015, so the exact link may have moved. If it doesn't work, search Substack for "I'm Walking Here" or "Liz Gumbinner" directly — Substack's own search is the most reliable way to find the current subscribe page.
If you'd rather follow her without email, the same post lists her other accounts: Blue Sky, Threads, Instagram and Facebook under the handles mom101 and mom101blog.
What is the Spawned Podcast and where can I listen to it?
The Spawned Podcast is a parenting podcast co-hosted by Liz Gumbinner, the writer behind Mom-101TM. The site's own note calls it "an award-winning podcast" and points readers to iTunes as the place to listen. That note is dated 2015, so treat the description as a snapshot rather than a current listing — podcast catalogs and hosting arrangements change.
If you want to try it, search "Spawned Podcast" in your usual podcast app (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Overcast) rather than relying on an old direct link. If nothing turns up, the show may no longer be actively distributed; in that case, Liz Gumbinner's more recent work lives on Substack, Blue Sky, Threads, Instagram, and Facebook, all linked from the same Mom-101 page.
For context: Mom-101 was a long-running personal parenting blog, and the podcast grew out of that world — two parents talking through the messy, unglamorous parts of raising kids. It suits listeners who want conversational, opinionated parenting talk rather than expert-led advice. If you prefer structured, research-driven episodes, this style may feel loose; if you like hearing from people who openly admit they're figuring it out as they go, it's a good fit.
How can I follow Mom-101 on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Threads?
Mom-101's own site now serves mainly as a signpost rather than an active blog. A short 2015 note from Liz Gumbinner says she is "not here much anymore" and points readers to where she actually posts.
Where to find her
- Instagram: the handle listed is mom101
- Threads: mom101
- Bluesky: mom101
- Facebook: the page name given is mom101blog
- Newsletter/writing: "I'm Walking Here" on Substack, which she describes as similar to the old blog but better
- Podcast: Spawned Podcast, with a direct iTunes link on the page
Practical next step The simplest approach is to pick one platform and search that exact handle, since the same "mom101" name is reused across Instagram, Threads and Bluesky. If you mainly want her writing rather than short posts, subscribe to the Substack instead — that is where she says her blog-style content moved. For Facebook, search "mom101blog" rather than "Mom-101," because the page name differs from the site name.
Trade-off to consider Short-form platforms give you frequent, informal updates but scattered across apps; the Substack concentrates longer posts in one place and usually emails them to you. If you don't want to manage several accounts, following on one platform plus the newsletter covers most of what she publishes.
As a concrete example: if you liked the old Mom-101 blog format, start with the Substack, then add Instagram or Threads only if you also want quick day-to-day posts. Note that the site's own links are from 2015, so handles could have changed since — verify by checking that the account matches her name and links back to her site or Substack.
Is Mom-101 still actively updated or has it moved to another platform?
Mom-101 is no longer actively updated as a standalone blog. The site itself says so directly: the author notes she is "not here much anymore" and points readers to where she now publishes instead. The most recent post referenced on the page is dated 05.21.15, which confirms the blog has effectively been dormant for years.
Where the writing moved: the page directs readers to Mom-101TM's listed alternatives, including a Substack newsletter called "I'm Walking Here," plus social accounts on Blue Sky, Threads, Instagram and Facebook, and the Spawned Podcast. So if you came for new essays, the Substack is the closest continuation; if you want short updates, the social accounts are the practical option.
If you're deciding whether to keep following: subscribe to the Substack if you want long-form posts in the same voice, and follow one social account if you mainly want links and quick commentary. Treat the blog archive as a read-only back catalogue rather than a source of new material.
