The internet can be such a great resource for families. Following is a directory of websites families are likely to use. Together, these consumer resources serve as a household guide to everything from buying a car to contacting a U.S. Government Agency. These are not paid listings. We include only sites that Habitudes knows, trusts and considers the best at what they do. For the most part there is only one site within each category. Occasionally we can't decide between two favorites. In that case there will be two.
If there's a category or site you'd like us to include, or a site falls short of your expectations, please contact us. And check back often. The Habitudes consumer resource directory will grow and change almost daily. That way we can be sure we're providing the most practical, helpful and up-to-date family and household resources on the internet. It's another way of helping you through life, nicely done.
