Some things I’ve enjoyed recently (though not sure why they are “mother’s only” — hey, dad’s care too!):

Parenting Magazine “What Matters To Moms” (and DADS!): lots of tips for new parents on products, raising children, and how to de-stress as a parent.

Moms Rising — now with Families Rising (dad’s blogs too): discussions and activism. (Speaking of which, how about getting companies to allow dads to have maternity leave also — is 2 weeks too much to ask for! My company thinks so… :( )

[Upated: The link below should be to the "Baby Signing Time!" not the "Signing Time!" series by the same person. The Baby series really are for much younger children.

Signing Time! Vol. 1: My First Signs DVD Signing Time! Vol 1: My son seems to really enjoy these DVDs. (I don’t recommend having kids (or adults for that matter) watching TV much, but there are times when having him relax for 15 minutes watching one of these, allows us to get some work done when he’s too fussy otherwise.) The series is very gentle with bright colors, songs, and demonstrations with the instructor and other children of how to do sign language for babies.
