cafemom Review

I got first introduced to the CafeMom website through a banner, that was flashing up on MySpace again and again and again . . . and you know how it goes, if you see such an ad once too often your curiosity gets the better of you . . .

It is a lil confusing to get started for sure, due to the sheer volume of groups and the endless possibilities of playing with widgets . . . getting to know new people, posting and sharing photos.

The first thing you get to do is setting up your own homepage and profile, both of them are fully customizable and do not necessarily have to look the same . . . it depends on which widgets you add and if you want them on both pages or only on either the home~ or profile page . . . you get to choose your privacy settings too, as to who can see what . . . which probably needs a little bit of tweaking to get it just right, the way you want it to be seen . . .

Then of course you can get lost in 1 of the many many groups and forums to just about any topic 1 can imagine concerning not only mommyhood, but also household, hobbies, work at home or away from home, political groups . . . religious groups . .  you name it and there is probably a group that you find to fit right in . . .
An advantage especially for new mommies are also all the different area groups where 1 can find new mommy friends to organize playdates with and get out o the house a little, even if it's 'just for a walk' and/or a coffee break . . .

All in all I would highly recommend this site to any mom or grandmom even, but be warned it IS highly addicting . . .
