Family Fun is Only A Click Away at LIParentSource.com

(Long Island, NY –September 29, 2006) Have you ever asked yourself how it is possible for two parents to care for the family’s health and well-being, keep the house clean, research preschools and activities, fold the laundry and clean out sippy cups? Add lack of sleep to this equation and real trouble brews. Finally, Long Island parents have an online guide providing an easy way to research the family centered resources from pregnancy through the teen years. LIParentSource.com provides clear information on family friendly resources and activities.

In September 2006, Amy Platt founded LIParentSource.com to centralize Long Island family resources and make it easier for parents to find the information that they need. “Our goal is to give parents choices by putting local resources at their fingertips. They no longer have to be overwhelmed when looking for information,” shares Amy.

This free site for parents not only lists local area businesses and programs, but also offers tips on a variety of subjects such as fun baby shower ideas, day trip ideas, how to interview a babysitter and how to research preschools. Parents can also register to receive a bi-monthly e-mail newsletter to update them on local events and activities. The site also offers a free classified advertisement section, coupons from local businesses, monthly contests, local event calendars and other helpful features.

Amy also wants to give parents a chance to give back to Long Island through a page on the site entitled Families Giving Back. In this section, non-profit agencies can post their needs by listing volunteer opportunities and wish lists, providing parents with ideas of how they can make a difference without it necessarily being a large financial expense or time commitment. Parents will see that they can set an example for their children by demonstrating different ways to give, either through donating used toys and clothing, or through volunteering.

Please visit the site and sign up for the e-newsletter at http://www.LIParentSource.com.
