Our moms may have chatted over the back yard fence, over coffee and cards, or while getting to know the other regulars at the playground. Today's parents connect in a new realm: online.

Candace Cameron Bure
enjoys a ‘Full House’ as mother, wife and writer
She is known to millions for her role as sunny, fresh-faced DJ Tanner on the hit 1980s sitcom “Full House” and for her recent roles in such films as “Moonlight and Mistletoe” and television productions like “Make It or Break It.”
Now, Candace Cameron Bure, 34, has successfully re-shaped her life and career to include the titles of wife, mother, national bestselling author and successful entrepreneur.
“I loved acting. My family just fell into it; my parents did not have an entertainment background. I never felt pressure to do it and always knew I could stop at any time. It was always ‘as long as you’re having fun.’ It was a wonderful experience,” Cameron Bure says of her work on “Full House.”

Blogs That Can Save You Money
Briana Carter wondered if she was annoying her friends and family with all her stories of the good deals she was finding. Yet, despite her weird obsession with coupons and bargain hunting, they seemed interested in learning how they, too, could save money. Her desire to share led her to start a blog, www.bargainbriana.com, where she could post great deals that could benefit friends and strangers alike. By doing so, this mother of 4 from Tipton, IN joined the ranks of some pretty savvy moms.
It used to be that women shared their household secrets at the local quilting bee, PTA bake sale, or weekly bridge game. At such gatherings mothers had the opportunity to swap recipes, cleaning tricks, and fugal tactics. Today you don’t need to know how to sew, bake, or play cards in order to get the skinny on money saving methods. The World Wide Web is a gateway to a veritable treasure trove of frugal wisdom.
If you’ve ever read a blog, then you’re familiar with the digital journal format. Short

Failures into Victories

A seeming failure may not be what you think it is. Sometimes God uses our biggest challenges to produce great victories.
I tend to be the optimistic/Pollyanna type of person. (You’ve figured that out already, huh?) I can dream big dreams and envision such fun, exciting projects.
Sometimes, those big[…]

You will deliver your baby around the same gestation your mother delivered you. This was an old wives tale I wanted to believe. When I was 33 weeks pregnant, I drove back home to the Chicago area to visit my mom. She was throwing me a baby shower. The night[…]

After listening to the recent PregTASTIC episode on Hypnofertility, I was reminded of the time when we were actively trying to conceive. What had started out as an exciting project over the months became a chore, a science project and finally a desperate “I’ll do anything” approach…

Top 10: Newborn Must-Haves
I love lists, especially if it’s not a terribly long one. And 10 is manageable. Inspired by a certain late-night show’s regular segment, I decided to launch a short TOP TEN series (emphasis on “short”) on anything relevant to getting ready for a new baby.
