Great Mom Web Sites

It always amazes me how much us moms can squeeze in to one day. Well, in case some of you have soooo much free time that you don't know what to do with yourself, here are two great web sites to check out: http://www.oaklandcountymoms.com/ & http://www.raisingthem.com/. They have some great information for groups to join, places to vent your frustrations, ask questions, the latest on health and safety of our kids, and on and on. Both are free to join if you so choose. Happy web surfing!

With the new year already upon us, it's time for us to stop grazing table side and lock up the cookie jar! Moms it's time for us to get back to our pre-holiday eating and exercise habits.
