Are You an Online Networking Mama?

It seems that everyone is "twittering" away or loading pictures onto their Facebook accounts these days. Even President Barack Obama has a Facebook page to keep his fans in the know. I'm guilty and admittedly addicted to the latter, but stand strong against the urge to Twitter though I do follow lilsugar's!

As a mom, I often feel like I hardly have time to breathe, but somehow I find time to occasionally update my Facebook status to let my 550 "friends" know that I just ordered a pillow online. Some of my pals leak every detail of their lives through such methods and while I love to read about them, I'm afraid I'd be in danger of child neglect if I signed up for another group like Totspot or the like. And besides that I'm not sure who really wants to hear about my adventures in potty training! Which sites do you like?

Website of the Day: TotSpot

Last week I was spending some time with my friend and her baby and went crazy with "capturing the moment" - it was photos and videos galore! After uploading all my cutesy wootsey images, I couldn't help but wonder what options there are for parents who want to create an online space dedicated to their bundle of joy, but yet don't want their kids faces plastered all over sites like Flickr or YouTube.

And with that I bring you TotSpot, a secure and safe user-friendly site that allows parents to create a private page about their kids. With this page you can post videos, photos, and journal entries to share "privately" with family and friends. How great is that?!
