Busy Moms Surf The Net

Writen by Mila Sidman

When our parents had us they probably went to close friends and relatives for information on parenting and help finding the resources they needed for their family. Or often times they used the library.

Today, times have changed. People are busy, there's very little time to call and chat to family and friends when you need a recommendation for a product or information on baby teething. So what do busy moms do?

They surf the net of course, and thank goodness for the flexibility the internet allows us moms. Whether you're a stay at home mom, go out to work or work from home the internet can be a moms best friend and helper when it comes to information.

There are sites out there ranging from health information to what's the best stroller to buy for your baby. If you need it, you'll find it on the net.

Plus the convenience of being able to shop online without having to brave the department stores or supermarket with a newborn and a toddler is priceless. You can buy anything from baby clothes to bread and milk online… all conveniently from your home.

However, there are a few things you should look for when surfing the net for quality family friendly sites.

Look for experience. Find sites which are written by other parents and include a variety of views and articles from a range of different parenting perspectives and backgrounds. If you're taking advice from someone it helps if they've "been there and done that".

Don't ever pay upfront for information, there are many good sites on the internet which provide quality information for free. Sure there are times when paying for a product is necessary but often times you can find information and help for free.

Look for sites which provide extra support and help. Many sites offer family friendly newsletters with free tips and advice on parenting and family related issues. A good site will provide support and care about their visitors by providing quality information and resources.

Find sites which provide unbiased product reviews and recommendations. You can usually tell this by reading the review. You can usually sense the excitement a person feels when recommending a good product. Reviews which include honest opinions such as criticisms and are written by a variety of different people are usually the real thing too.
