There's a new maternal phenomenon underway, made up of "naptime activists."

They are stay-at-home moms, using the internet to make a difference.

Anyone can get involved, and women who gave up careers to raise their families are finding it a perfect fit.

The idea is that a mom may only have a short period of time each week to devote to activism, but that still can make a difference.
