I love Mama's On Call.
The women on this site are witty, have years of experience working as a family therapist and a pediatrician, and offer a variety of information for parents of children of all ages. Their articles and posts are always thought-provoking and their links, too, make me think.

Pinterest is by far my favorite. So many different cool ideas...Fitness pages, art, home decor, clothes and accessories, hair and makeup tutorials, crafts, kids stuff, cooking and baking...I love it. I feel like it HAS improved my life in ways. I have already made a few neat crafts from ideas I found on there. I have finally figured out how to make my girl's hair look cute (I was clueless before). Have made some very tasty treats and meals. Learned how to crochet this week and taught the kids how to do it- we are all making scarves now.
I like Etsy.com which is a handmade items site. I get lots of great craft and art inspiration from there. Finally this year I have started drawing and painting again!
Ourbestbites.com is my favorite recipe site, everything I have made has been so tasty and they have a lot of great tutorials.
Allrecipes.com- you don't need a cookbook if you have access to that site. I love that you can pretty much find a recipe for ANYTHING there and there are user ratings and tips so you know if it is going to turn out well or not.

Some love it and some unsubscribe from it... but I find so many deals on zulily.com! I think you really need to know what you "need" and don't overbuy, but my best recent deal was a cutie coat and hat for my daughter for only $25 and on Amazon if was $70. New deals every day!
Of course google- recipes, news, craft ideas, grammar questions... I almost think it's better than going to a recipe site or other specialty site.
I love this question and have gotten some good ideas! Thanks- except that I'm hooked online now, haha!

I keep Frugal in Fort Worth and My DFW Mommy handy. Also craigslist, and google news. My elected representatives are favorites, just in case. Real Simple has a great website that I check with quite a bit. I also like to go to Parenting Magazine and Family Funs websites.
