Tech Talk

Uber Mom - Chic Mama - Alpha Mom - Mega Mom! OK, OK, Let's just not take ourselves too seriously. Get online and get on track with working moms who can laugh at themselves at my favorite new Web site Mommy Tracked: The working mother's guide to manage chaos - Why? Because it is populated with smart women who have a “get over yourself” attitude on a site with a retro-cool look. This is not your typical Mommy’s parenting Web site and that is what makes it so great. It’s fun, irreverent and real. Enjoy the humor of the funny papers and read the blog by Meredith O’Brien for her style of reality check journalism. O'Brien keeps it real and reminds us that just because US News & World Report says you can have it all, that doesn't make it so! If you’re a working mom, you’ll identify from the minute you hit the home page.
