I'm a SAHM with an electrical engineering undergrad and 2 masters degrees. And being a mom has been the hardest job I've EVER had including consulting in Bogota!
In Good Search - Donate While you Surf I do this for my local baby/mom charity. Eastside Baby Corner.
It's a GREAT idea & totally free. The lady who runs the charity says she gets regular income from it for stuff that doesn't get donated (like formula). So I know it's legit.
In Freewebs - Keeping Families Connected I have family all over the US too so I was interested in this. But the site really isn't free if you want it ad free for your family. Plus the storage space is limited for photos. So for a simple blogging site this would be fine. But for online sharing of photos etc. not so much.
