From Caroline G., mom of two, Fayetteville, TN
The bloggers behind Working Moms Against Guilt have a totally down-to-earth perspective on motherhood. Posts about kids and relationships, and goofy, fun videos and online finds make this daily updated blog a real standout. The four moms behind the posts all balance jobs, kids, and personal lives, and help us get rid of the guilt!
Plus, they have a killer blogroll that links you to tons of other great parenting blogs and sites. And the recipes rock!

Sure, we want Web sites that give us up-to-date pregnancy info, but sometimes we just want a good laugh. Alpha Mom has it covered. Their bloggers give real advice about beauty, money, parenting trends, and more, in a totally unpretentious way.
Be sure to check out their extensive list of product ratings, and the excellent, easily searchable baby name finder.
From Lauren P., mom of two, Cincinnati, OH
This is a great resource for expecting moms. Use their “tools & tips” to make your own birth plan, calculate how much coffee you really drink every day, or answer insurance questions. They also have birth stories from real moms and the newest trend in baby showers (setting them up as an open house is a great idea!).
Added bonus -- you can register to set up your own blog through iParenting.com as a way to share your pregnancy and motherhood with other moms like you.
From Terri S., mom of two, Jim Thorpe, PA
What’s better than free stuff? The moms behind coolmompicks.com give you lots of chances to win fun baby and kid toys, accessories, and gadgets, and they feature the latest innovative, mom-approved products. You won’t find health advice here, but you may find the perfect onesie (with organic fabric and a bright design, it’s different from all the other kids on the block).
If you’re looking for chic (and cheeky) maternity clothes, don’t miss their clothing picks section. Also, the mom bloggers behind the deals make sure that every product they feature is quality-made, and safe for kids.

FitPregnancy.com is all about being a strong, healthy mom — right from the start. The site's "Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby" message focuses on how to stay healthy, eat right, and look great while expecting, and how to get back into shape after delivering. You'll find tools such as essential gear guides, birth plan templates, a pregnancy calendar, an ovulation calculator, and a recipe finder. The website also features real-mom blogs, celebrity interviews, freebies, and FitPregnancy Club newsletters. If you're a new mom or mom-to-be, you'll love this site!
Frank P., dad of two
This service makes traveling with small children easier by delivering diapers, formula, food, and more to travel destinations worldwide. You can forget packing and carrying the diapers, wipes, formula, bottles, food, bathing supplies, and countless other items your baby will need while on vacation. They deliver worldwide, and carry a full line of organic products. To make the trip home easy, they offer a "Ship It Home" service that allows you to ship home your unused baby products and anything else you don't want to re-pack.
Meili W., mom of two
If you only have five minutes to spare online, this site is a sort of "Mommy's Digest." It's hosted by two SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) bloggers who comb the Web for giveaways, parenting ideas, and entertaining blogs so other moms can quickly read them all in one place. They also feature mom-owned stores and sites.
Carrie H., mom of one
This is a free way to scrapbook online, perfect for moms and moms-to-be to show off their little ones. It's also a great way to share pictures and memories of first moments (i.e., first tooth, first foods, etc.) with family members who don't live nearby.
Maureen N., mom of two
After I gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy, I started to wonder how on earth I was going to get the weight off! Luckily, I found this site where moms can connect with each other and form local run/walk groups. The camaraderie really helps keep me going. Some group members even bring their strollers. It's fun!
Michelle W., friend of moms
My friends and I love this site (and the magazine)! It focuses on home decor, travel, food, entertainment, and lots more. The articles are very well-written and the travel info is awesome. They do a great job of finding the best places to go with your kids! Definitely recommended for anyone with kids or who spends a lot of time with kids.
