Childcare Issues While Working at Home, Part I
Here are a select few of the best of the web resources that I used to help my family determine what is best for us, while not breaking the bank. The links are fewer than normal, but are so full of information that I didn't think any parent would be able to wade through all of the information in only a week's time. So, I have broken up the usefulness of the links into two sections; the remainder will be posted for your viewing and searching pleasure at a later date.
Enjoy!
