The go-to website when it's your turn to organize a group gift! www.fromeveryone.com

Whether it's time to show your appreciation for a teacher, thank a coach, welcome a new baby, or say goodbye to a colleague - from: Everyone makes group gifts simple! No more collecting checks or passing the hat around the office, from: Everyone automates the process from start-to-finish. Because giving should be simple.

Don't forget about http://vickyandjen.com/!

The internet radio show "What Really Matters" on VickyandJen.com is brought to you by two moms who have taken "mom networking" beyond the next level. Co-hosts, VIcky and Jen will make an impact on the way you and your family value your time, interviewing a wide variety of guests from professional organizers to chefs, parenting experts to doctors, and television personalities to best-selling authors, all about making life simple so you can enjoy what really matters. Each show has a supporting page of "show notes" on the website with even more simple ideas!

I would definitely add www.etsy.com to this list. It's basically a marketplace of artisans who make everything from kids clothes to jewelry, housewares and more. It's kind of like eBay but all of the items on the site are either handmade or vintage, so you're supporting artists and getting one-of-kind or small run, original items at the same time. You can put in key words like "baby girl" or "teacher gift" and come up with great, fresh gift suggestions in a big range of prices too.

You should check out Yumkid.com also. In addition to coming up with kid friendly recipes, this site also focuses on educating parents and children about diet and nutrition. We look at alternatives to the heavy sodium loaded goldfish crackers, what vitamins should be given to children, how many calories kids need to eat daily, super foods for children amongst other things. Basically, anything that can help moms and dads raise healthy, well adjusted children.

Thanks so much for including The Well Mom in your list. There are so many creative moms out there putting up terrific content up on the web. I feel honored to be counted among them. Congrats to all!

Have you been wondering at some point what happens if you take more than one medication at the same time? Is it better to start your kid on antibiotic at the first sign of an ear infection or would it make sense to try something else first? What are the best supplements for kids? Which type of probiotic supplement is doing a better job after the course of antibiotic treatment? Or why does orange juice get fortified with calcium?

Doing your own research on any of the above subjects online could be productive but in many cases the results coming back are overwhelming and sometimes quite contradictory.

To alleviate some of the confusion, I would recommend a website http://www.healthialist.com that has a wealth of information on those and many other very specific pharmaceutical questions. Here you will also find a lot of great insight on questions related to children health. Better yet, if you can't find what you are looking for, you can post your question and a highly qualified pharmacist will answer them for you, in many cases quoting the source publications.
