Before the internet existed mothers were building community relationships, sharing knowledge and keeping neighbors informed. The role of mothers has always included the abilities we now call networking skills.
With the use of technology mothers are expanding the number of people they support and to whom they contribute out to a worldwide audience.
There are approximately 82 million mothers in the United States. The internet is giving them a powerful tool to connect them with what they need/want and with each other.
The ability to create a group of mothers with similar beliefs/goals has created communities of mothers supporting one another in a variety of ways. I count myself in the growing number of mothers using technology to build relationships and create a new type of support system.

With a goal of promoting healthy living Ecomoms is a community of environmentally conscious mothers. The members of this community are authentically searching for ways to live in a balanced and sustainable way.
The Ecomoms provides many of the things mothers are looking for:
- A social network to gather and share information about the sustainability movement: a way to build relationships.
- On-line shopping for a wide variety of items to improve our environment such as organic clothing, earth friendly toys and sustainable home items: a way to take action in the day to day choices.
- An eco-media channel bringing together people, products and green news: a way to get educated and stay informed.
- A way to stay connected with and support environmental policy: a way to take action on the big picture.
This site offers real solutions for moms who want to connect, to learn to be more green and make a difference for our planet.
Main Street Moms ~ http://mainstreetmom.com
This site is a much broader site then the Ecomoms site. Their forum has over 20,000 threads. Categories for the forum include such categories as parenting, family budget, let’s talk food, spiritual grow and entertainment. The categories are more general but the site is a great resource of information.
Additionally, Main Street Moms includes articles on topics such as crafts, budgeting and health and fitness. The site even has printable lists to assist with meal planning, packing for a trip and household tasks.
The site was busy with lots of Google ads. Since Mia Cronan is a mother with five children running the site from her home, the ads support her ability to offer the free resource of helpful tips and advice to other moms.
Mothers have the ability to create huge change in our world and networks allow them to organize and support one another. If you are a mother who wants to know how to create a lifestyle that is conscious of the impact on the environment then check our Ecomom. If you want a wealth of helpful information addressing the many issues we face as mothers then check out Main Street Moms for the support of a large network of mothers.
