My Yahoo! — a parent’s best friend.

One of the clearest signs that I’m getting older is how easily my two-year-old understands the smart phone and the laptop in our home. And how he doesn’t understand what a “record player” is. It’s easy, though, to grasp the power of the Internet to help organize your life as a parent and stay connected with your child. I have found the following apps extremely helpful.

Parenting Hacks constantly updates with ingeniously practical suggestions for making things more efficient or less expensive. And with a child, both time and money have a way of vanishing.

Babies Online is a fun source of unexpected information, whether it’s about a baby’s personality or some celebrity dad.

Sometimes you can feel like the only parent in the world having troubles with your kid. The stories in the parenting section of Shine are easy to relate to. There are great tips to be found there as well.

I love the simplicity of LifeTips Parenting Tip of the Day. One item daily, simple and specific. It’s easy to focus on, unlike the hectic fun of parenting.
