Semester 2- Project Research

This is what i have found so far. It is not easy to find things on my topic but i have found that these really help me better understand what is going on...
The following are web sites i found that will help and i have also included some books that i have read write ups about but none of them are exactly like what im doing they are more of a help guide for working moms and my idea is to try and show what moms do and how their daily life is different no matter what they have to do.

I guess I'm not completely clear on your idea, if this is going to be a documentary on the stay at home mom or the outside working mom. In either case both serve the same function at home mostly of being some sort of care giver. If you are doing a documentary you might want to interview the both types of moms and see how things like the economy are starting to effect there roles and duties in and out side the home. For example my mom used have a job where she could work at home. Now due to economy she's working 3 part time jobs outside of the home, this in turn effects the time she has to do house hold tasks or now those tasks have to be delegated to other members of the family.

Good start. Now search related fields like Social Work Resources, still photography exhibitions on the topic, or any other "a day in the life of" film.
