I don’t work for Land’s End clothing or anything (just a fan), and I don’t get anything for it, but I thought you might enjoy the Land’s End Free Shipping Code on my personal website, Busymom.net.
It might be a good time to stock up on a few things for summer, graduation, Mother’s Day or Father’s […]

If you work in an office or have school age children, you are intimately familiar with the cry of the office or the soccer team social coordinator, “Here, sign this card”. I don’t mind signing, but I sure hate to be the one who has to circulate the card.
I ran across Squidnote where you can […]

Reader Leonard pointed out a website that I wasn’t familiar with, Qlubb.com.
Qlubb.com is a simple web-based group coordinator that has event calendaring, sign-up sheets, photo sharing, member rosters, task reminder service, and bulletin boards.
For example, you can communicate with other parents in your child’s classroom by notifying them of events, manage party sign-ups, share photos, […]

Tender Tidings is a company that bills itself as a “solution for working parents”.
“Solution” to what?
It’s essentially streaming video that you set up at home to view whatever you’ve got going on at home that you need to see while you’re away.
That’s all well and good, and, it might be a great application for some […]

I’m always writing notes to myself, or, calling home to leave myself a message on the answering machine about a work matter, the kids’ schedules, or, to remind someone at home about something.
Jott is a way to create reminders, send text messages, e-mails and blog entries to yourself or other people, all with […]

I ran across the website Business Travel Logue, and, thought I’d share.
I don’t travel much for work, but, the site looks like it has some useful information about airlines, hotels, entertainment and such.

Since many of us have a career that will help send our kids to college, it might be wise to learn about the process.
Since, as hard as it is to believe, we are about 5 years away from our firstborn going to college, I have to face the fact that I need to educate myself […]

The Expecting Executive is a blog I’ve been enjoying recently.
Billed as a place “Where Women Talk about Motherhood, Eldercare and Careers and Managing Life’s Details”, it covers such topics as daycare, traveling with children, and going back to school.
Check it out!

Like all parents, working parents depend on reminder systems, sometimes.
What? What do you mean by, “Yeah, I’m sure you do.”
Anyway, I ran across this cool website, oh, don’t forget, where you can send text messages to yourself or someone else at the time you specify. I even used it to remind myself to post this. […]
