Some More Websites!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a few sites with you. 

These are for mother's with black (african american) girls. Very helpful to me, please check them out!

I really recommend these sites for mom's with girls (or boys). Again, check them out! :) 

Mom's (especially black moms) think they can do this on their own. But sometimes they need the help of other moms, to know that there are women out there who go what their going through. We can't always do it alone. And even if we meet people outside of cyberspace, there may be someone in that blog or mom website who is just like you, ready to meet you. 

It's even harder when one of your daughter's are a tween. A tween is a 10 - 12 year old girl or boy. I only learned this word from my daughter. She told me one day, "I'm a tween." Then she explained everything to me. Isn't it funny how kids just tell you things you never thought you'd hear?

Anyway, tween's are going through the cycle where they are beginning to get that independent spirit, so when their a teen, it's all out. They may become moodier, and say things you never thought you'd here them say. They also may begin to bicker with siblings (if they have any).

Tweens start asking for more independent things. Just a month ago, my daughter (the same tween I told you about) told me, "I want to be on a social network. Can I mom? Specifically New Moon."

I was blown away by the question but looked up newmoongirls.com. It was a very interesting website, I liked it so I signed her up. She's still using it to this day, and I've never been disapointed with the website. Ad-free, very very secure, fun, educational, and benefitive. Try it out for your tween, if you have one! I recommend it!!!!!!

Anyway, to learn a bit more about tweens and how they may start to act, go to:
