I, personally, have enjoyed this site very much. You can write journals, upload pictures, message other Mom's, join groups, and even more. Any questions you ask are answered in a matter of minutes. And the best part is...It's free! I've just about fallen in love with the Mom's I've been talking to and working with since I've joined. It is hands-down my favorite site. I absolutely recommend it. Whether you are pregnant and expecting or already have children, it's 5 stars in my book.
Always,
QueeeeeenB
