MainstreetMom.com is for modern mothers with traditional values. It has many features to interest just about any mom. From Spiritual Growth to Work at Home to Pregnancy, and much, much more. The easy to use Site Directory helped me decide where to start looking. Being a methodical person, I started with the Family Budget and found tons of information for reducing debts, saving on monthly expenses and frugal ideas. (If you go to the Miserly Moms section at the bottom, you will find homemade recipes for Easy Bake Ovens. That alone makes the site worth visiting. Have you ever priced those mixes?)

Summer is coming which means vacations for many of us. The Travel & Leisure page has articles that may help reduce the stress of traveling with little ones. Or adults for that matter…

The Humor page has lots of cute stories along with a “You know you’re drinking too much coffee when…” article. My favorite answer to the too much coffee question was “…when someone says ‘How are you?’ and you say,’ Good to the last drop’.”

The Fun and Games page is very appealing to moms of small kids. Lots of fun stuff to do with your children and some are even educational.

Looking for answers to your work at home questions? Check the message boards. You may even have some great advice for another parent with a similar problem.

I can’t end this column without mentioning the Marriage page. Many different topics here for couples including In-Laws & Out-Laws, Building a Life Long Love Affair, Problem Solving for Couples and When Parents Disagree. Most of us can use help with at least one of these areas. Be sure to visit and bookmark this great site. Until next time.
