• Grant Available from United Healthcare Children's Foundation. Families struggling with child health-related expenses can apply for assistance grants online at www.uhccf.org.
• www.askdrsears.com Thanks to Springfield Mom, Heather Tega, for sending us this recommendation! " I love using the resource askdrsears.com for medical information for my kids. The medicine cabinet tab is great because you can get dosage requirements and find out what medicine would best treat your child's symptoms. The childhood illness tab is great to determine what your child may have and determine whether a trip or even a call to the doctor is necessary. It's a great resource for moms who can "overcall" their pediatrician with questions."
• ?Mayo Clinic offers a blog about pregnancy week by week. When it comes to medical information sent online, it's important to make sure it's from a credible source; Mayo Clinic is certainly at the cr?me of the crop. The link to healthy recipes is an added bonus.
• www.gameskidsplay.net? Does it seem like sometimes our kids spend too much time with the Gameboy and Video Now and not enough time just playing? This website is chock full of the games we played as kids ? before technology took over. There are games for camping, travel, and just to pass the time. Check out the website to dust off that memory and get playing with your kids!
