- http://www.babycenter.com/ -- Information seems a bit short and one sided. The information is usually geared towards “regular” pregnancy and parenting and they seem to focus on a lot more negative aspects unnecessarily.
- Mothering magazine has a very useful discussion board for parents, http://www.mothering.com/. This magazine is geared towards natural approaches to parenting and contains a lot of useful information that sometimes goes against mainstream.
- Another great resource is http://www.diaperswappers.com/. This is mainly used to trade, sell, and buy cloth diapers and accessories, but it also contains a lot of forums of different topics. I especially like craft chat and thrifty family forum. There are a lot of good discussions on pregnancy, new parents, and other useful topics. This is a high traffic board so expect great tons of information and a lot of comments and suggestions if you post something.
- Oh if you’re planning on breastfeeding http://www.kellymom.com/ is the place to go. There’s great information about baby and children nutrient needs and other great information.
- One other place is http://diaperpin.com/home.asp. If you’re considering using cloth diapers and covers this is a great place to start. They have reviews of all the different brands and types, which will help you not as overwhelmed with the process. There’s a lot of great option out there now, which are just as easy as disposable, but offer no harmful effects to the environment or baby.
- I like Babycenter for looking up information, but for message boards, I prefer The Bump (http://www.thebump.com/) and Mom’s Corner ( http://momscorner.activeboard.com/ ). A little intimidating for newbies, but great sources of information once you get used to them.

We have visited Vancouver, BC numerous times over the past 20+ years. Among other things, we like the Surrey & Vancouver area for its good Indian restaurants. Here are a few of our favorites (and some recommended by our friends) - updated in 2025. If you have been to Surrey many times & want to try a different place - Abbotsford, BC has some good number of restaurants & eateries (not as many as Surrey though). Driving time from Seattle to Abbotsford is almost the same as driving to Surrey. Here's a list for Abbotsford .
