We use this at my work and it's a great way to communicate. Unfortunately, my company is prohibiting us from using it as it's not secure enough.

I have an ergo baby 360 and its my favorite carrier. My son immediately passes out when hes in it and it well supports my back. Its a little tricky to figure out in the beginning, especially when you have to use the newborn insert. However their newest model, the Omni does not require a newborn insert and has a pocket for your phone. Its approved to prevent hip dysplasia. I have never tried the Baby Bjorn Carriers, but some of them look concerning because the Babies legs look like they hang down.

This is one of two major password saving websites (lastpass is the other). I prefer this to lastpass because I found lastpass confusing to use. On the other hand, Dashlane is very simple - you download the plugin and it starts to save your login and passwords as you go to various websites. You can even have dashlane automatically log in when you go to the website. It is free and there is a charge for the premium service. Definitely worth checking out as internet privacy is becoming a larger issue!

Rottentomatoes is a great place to get movie reviews. I like how it takes in account both critics and real movie goers. I don't think I have ever not liked a movie that was well reviewed on rottentomatoes.

I always use this site when traveling, especially internationally. I have never had a bad experience with a well reviewed hotel or restaurant.

I don't know who created this. But, I needed a program to merge several different PDFs into one and did not want to pay a lot of money for Adobe. It is a little buggy - but for free, I cannot complain!

This is THE national organization of pediatrics - all reputable pediatricians are members. Good reliable information. Go to healthychildren.org for their patient-centered website.

SiteJabber is my go-to-site for when I am considering using a new website. It's like Yelp for websites... speaking of which, I should write a review of for Yelp!

Doris did the shot for our engagement photos. She is great! She has a soft touch and does a great job of capturing the "moment" and candid shots. I have gotten so many compliments on her photos. Note: her website is still in progress.

I love Netflix. I have discovered so many new shows that I have come to love. Yes - I am about 1-2 seasons behind everyone else (because the latest seasons are not on the website yet.) However, for $9 a month, it is way cheaper than cable. If it were not for sports, I think I could convince my husband to get rid of cable all together.

I love redbox. Great idea. For about $1 a night you can rent a video. Their machines are everywhere, so very convenient. I also love that nearly every weekend I get a coupon for 50 cents off. I think they make their money by banking you won't return it the next day so they can charge you for a few more days, but I always do! They used to also give me a free movie on my birthday, but no more - sad.

One of the largest healthcare networks in the Bay Area. Ranked #1 by Consumer Reports based on customer surveys. Lots of locations.

I have been using them for the last 5 years. Overall I think their phone and in personal representatives are very nice and well informed. Most importantly, I trust them.

I love the free shipping (both ways!) and the 365 day a year return policy. Tony Hsiea is a genius and has a great business model. Also the videos are helpful. Great selection of shoes to choose from.

THE best e-mail program. I like how it groups email chains together; how you can label emails, so the same e-mail can have multiple labels; the easy search function. Another great product by Google.

I am like many Americans and don't have a budget. I started using Mint and am now realizing that I spend much more than I thought I did. Hopefully it will help me keep my spending in check. The only down side is that you have to get use to the annoying ads (for credit cards and such).

I love Hulu. Great shows. Low monthly price. Although, sadly, I have noticed that some of my favorite shows are being taken off hulu and on to their own network apps, i. E. Downtown Abby. Only downside is that you can't use it internationally.

I love their clothes. They are so unique and you cannot find their clothes elsewhere. Every once in a while they have a sale, on their sales! Great customer service.

This is the website on children's health run by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the largest group of American pediatricians and the group that certifies all of the pediatricians boarded in the US. You can definitely trust the content. Also, they are starting to publish in Spanish and have sections that can be read to you if there are literacy issues.
