10 Ways Social Media Has Transformed Motherhood for the Better

With my daughter's sleepover birthday party coming up, I needed ideas for a good movie to show the nine girls. So I headed over to Facebook and posted my question. Within a couple of hours, more than 80 suggestions had poured in, including great oldies I'd forgotten (Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap) and excellent newbies (Brave, The Lorax). Plus one link to a mom who matched food to Disney movies; Toy Story movie night, for example, featured Mr. Potato Heads and Pizza Planet Pizza. Whoa -- outta my league! Not a day -- or sometimes an hour -- goes by without my being seriously thankful for social media. It's my go-to source for information, inspiration, relaxation and, oh yes, release of frustration. These are the 10 ways social media has been a mom game-changer for me, and many other moms. - By Ellen Seidman
