Special Interest Web Sites

Anyone remember "Festivus" from Seinfeld?  There are many websites that have sprouted up talking about this "holiday".  "Festivus for the Rest of Us"  

WebMD is a great site to find information fast and in plain easy to read explanations.  With three children I sought help frequently.  

I love this site for dinner planning.  You cna plan meals ahead or find recipes based on what you have in your cupboard.
