We were very impressed when we first got a look at Momversation. The site is attractive and it’s easy to find current and recent posts as well as links to the site’s other features. Getting into Momversation is as easy as clicking on the play button for the video. You will see a well produced video featuring some of the site’s nine panelists. Within each video, there are short snippets from each panelist, keeping the viewer’s interest levels high. Once an episode is over, there are opportunities to connect with the panelists and with other moms through the blog comments and the site’s own forum.

Episodes of Momversation are run three times a week and it’s a great chance to participate in something unique – hearing the best mommy bloggers weigh in on the issues that matter to parents. The site has an extremely active community, and the forum features discussions on parenting, relationships and general well-being. Additional features include user contests and special events. Momversation is content-rich site with plenty of great resources for virtually any parent.
