Moms' Buzz Editors Hot Picks is just that what Moms' Buzz finds "caliente" in the cyberspace for busy moms. Moms love to be in the loop, get the scoop and keep things in our radars, especially if they will make our lives easier and more enjoyable. If you have a product to recommend for this Lista Caliente just pass it along to us! Editor's Hot Picks comes out every 15th of the month. 
Busy moms I found these sites for family road trip planning at theweek.com. I highly recommend you check out these sites for planning a family road trip because it's going to save you tons of clicking time on the Internet. Take pen and paper and off you go:
Roadtripamerica.com erases the guesswork from long-distance driving with a calculator that estimates the cost of gas. It takes into account gas prices, your trip’s length, and “your car’s average fuel efficiency.”
Roadsideamerica.com lets you know which “offbeat attractions” fall along your route. If you hanker to see “the world’s largest ball of stamps” or “a history-of-cheesemaking mural,” this site will help plan your detour.
Momsminivan.com lists more than 100 activities to keep kids entertained on long journeys. The back-seat diversions are easy to learn and require only basic materials, such as “string, aluminum foil, and paper.”
Thebathroomdiaries.com locates “safe, clean restrooms” en route. With ratings for 9,000 domestic bathrooms and an additional 3,000 international toilets, it’s the world’s largest guide to roadside commodes.

I second the recommendation for The Bathroom Diaries. HUGE when you're traveling with kids. Road Trips for Families.com also has a lot of great tips and car games, also reviews of iPhone apps for toddlers and specific destination advice.
