Teacher Book Wizard

http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/
This site is "for teachers," but is a great resource for parents, too. There are several different ways to search: use a book your child already likes and find books in the same level with BookAlike or use the Leveled Search for a more advanced approach. Then, buy the book! I ♥ books.

The Sneaky Chef

http://thesneakychef.com/
My sister has two young children and swears by this site. Missy Chase Lapine (aka The Sneaky Chef) has a few books out, but her website has tons of free recipes to try. Hide spinach in brownies and broccoli in lasagna, your kids won't know the difference.

What the Font!

A font identifier. A great resource if you do a lot of work with fonts (like I do!). Just upload your picture, answer a few questions, and if the automated system can't identify your font, upload it to the forum and have other font freaks help you out. They're good.
