You probably know that iDivamemphis.com, the Web site, was founded to be a place where women from all over the Greater Memphis area could ask questions, solve problems, and hand out advice.
Today there are some great resources on the site. Go to iDivamem phis.com and add your own.

In the Mommy Track category, susanl found a better site than the one I first posted: familywatchdog.us. It's a free way to find out whether registered sex offenders live near your house and your kid's school. There are also lots of good resources for families, including a video (watch the trailer free) called "Stranger Safety."
In the ever-popular Eat, Drink, Shop category, we're talking about where to find comfortable sandals; samida points out that "if you walk down the foot care aisle of some stores you will notice more pads, insoles and random products aimed at us 'stiletto slaves'."

And you'll like CA Fashion Editor Barbara Bradley's advice about accessorizing if you're not a hat person (the post is about her story about a hat shop): "... accessories are a great place to put your money. They give you value because they last, don't depend upon your clothing size, travel well, and make everything else look different.

"For me, prime accessories are big 'statement' necklaces (like medallion drops) in semi-precious stones, dyed fresh-water pearls, and some beaded jewelry in polished horn (really nice, smooth, light and well put-together), decorative leather belts and high-quality silk print scarves.

"And here's another little benefit you get from accessories: You'll find, over the years, they tend to give you a style. You're the lady with the beautiful scarves, for example."
