11/8/10 - By heather

The web is a beautiful and ever-changing thing. Amidst the web clutter, every once in a while, a cool new web site springs up that is so awesome it's hard to imagine how you lived without it before. We've been keeping our eye on a couple of new ones that are super useful or just plain fun for moms and dads, with great info like finding good family friendly restaurants in NYC (finally!), a tech blog for non-techy mommas, a site just for Jewish moms and one just to make you laugh (till you cry).

Funny Because It’s True 
Featured in the NYTimes back in May and named one of Time magazine’s “Best Blogs of 2010”, S*it My Kids Ruined not only gives you a laugh, but you realize the bits of mac ‘n cheese on the floor is nothing compared to the clean-up (and repair) some of these moms have to deal with. One of my faves is the July 8 destruction of a beige couch.

When your Bubbe is Busy 
Okay, I’m Lutheran, my husband is Jewish, and my kiddo is both. What’s an interfaith NYC family to do? Click on kveller.com.
