Resources for Stay-at-Home Parents

Posted by Diane Laney Fitzpatrick Dec 5, 2007

Isn't the Internet a wonderful thing?

If you're my age or older and you stop and think about how we used to get information 20 or 30 years ago, it's mind boggling how much easier things are now. We didn't know how bad we had it!

If you want to know how to build a gingerbread house, make a quick, easy Christmas tree ornament or learn how to get blood stains out of carpet, where's the first place you go? Your computer, I'll bet.

The latest time saving service is to take the nearly infinite information on the Web and categorize it so you can find everything you need in one place.

Two of the best of these indexes that I've seen lately are:

• Suite 101's Christmas event, a compilation of all the Christmas holiday related articles on Suite 101. It's a long, comprehensive list of articles on holiday decorating, entertaining, crafts, holiday travel, culture, and gift ideas.
• "50 Useful Blogs for Work-at-Home Dads". Somebody took the time to surf the 'net and pull together 50 (yes! count 'em! 50!) blogs and sites that are specifically for dads who work at home. If you're a stay-at-home dad, check them out.
