Sites I Like
(And Think You Will To)
Part of the benefits of having your own website, is that every now and then you get to be somewhat narcisstic and write about YOU like.
I consider the following websites top-notch and worth a bookmark. All of them offer a motherload (get it? motherload?? sigh)
of information.
Nine of these eleven sites are written by moms like myself, who want/need to earn some extra money from home. We are all using the
same company to do it. This is my fourth year on this website, and the monthly income it provides has been a God-send. It is now part of
our monthly budget.
Site Build It took me, an Internet-imbecile, email-only mother
who was afraid of forums (Facebook? Forget it.) and taught me how to make The Essential
Infant Resource. If you're looking into ways to bring in
money at home, letting you stay at home with your precious children, I highly recommend Site Build It.
SBI delivers what it promises. My 4-year-old, monthly-income-producing website can attest to it.
www.Moms-Living-Debt-Free.com
Moms Living Debt Free provides high-quality information for moms (single or married) who struggle with balancing
the budget and paying the bills. This section in particular, on budget baby shopping, is particularly helpful for
moms.
www.Stages-in-Pregnancy.com
If you're currently pregnant or trying to get pregnant, I highly recommend stopping by Stages in Pregnancy.
This site, developed by mother-of-6 Lori, is not only adorable and fun to browse through,
it's full of information you'll want to know. Click here to browse through this treasure-trove of
pregnancy-information.
www.Babies-and-Sign-Language.com
Babies and Sign Language lessens frustration and tantrums
and boosts your baby's development by teaching your infant signs to clearly communicate
specific thoughts, wants, and needs before speaking. Site
features include: detailed baby signing information, tried-and-true tips, baby sign language articles, photos of babies using signs,
and listings of baby sign language classes in your local area.
www.Little-Kids-Games-Online.com
Little Kids Games Online has a specific section on various games you can play with your baby from newborn up
that can help in your baby's development. I've even used this site to help find activities to play with my 4-year-old.
A one-stop-shop to get ideas for playing with your baby and older children. Click here to see all the baby activities you can
play.

www.Child-Adoption-Matters.com
If you've read my brief bio, you'll know that I worked in foster care as a Social Worker before we had children.
For this reason, I'm a huge advocate of adoption (international or national). In fact, Cameron and I are planning
on expanding our family through adoption in the next 10 years.
Child Adoption Matters provides information on every type of adoption you may be interested. Adoption is a long
process that can be confusing. Visit Child Adoption Matters to start your education on why and how you can adopt
your own infant or child.

Read Aloud Magic, you learn how to accelerate your child's literacy development and academic
success in only 10-minutes a day. Read Aloud is the gift of knowledge and it lasts a lifetime. Read Aloud Magic is where you'll

www.Celebrate-Motherood.com
Celebrate Motherhood is an up-and-coming website about...guess what? Motherhood!
just-like-us mom Kimi shares inspiration and good 'ole information on this exhausting-yet-exhilirating profession of ours. At home, on the job,
at the store, where ever life takes you, the title of "mother" is an awesome responsibility. It's a fun site to read through, and the information
is spot-on. In fact, I would consider the section on the different seasons of motherhood a must-read!
www.inthepublicsquare.com
Okay, so I realize this is not directly a parenting site. But in many cases, what I learn and think about through this site affects my parenting.
My husband Cameron and I whole-heartedly support the idea of intelligent discussions and debates about the culture and political climate of our nation.
In the Public Square is a thoughtful discourse for Christians about how God would have us live in this nation of freedom. I appreciate the intelligent,
logical reasoning that is used in assessing positions and discussing the moral questions and issues of the day. Host John Snyder keeps things interesting
and lively, and refuses to engage in emotional name-calling and yelling. It is a safe place to consider various facts and discuss their meaning and
implementation on a national scale. Click here to visit In the Public Square.
