Sherry,
Here a just a few that might work:
http://www.opendns.com - works at the router level but can be by-passed
by older tech saavy kids. But works well for the younger set.
http://onlinefamily.norton.com - an interesting approach to managing
your home filtering. They promote speaking to your child and allow them
to help you set up the parameters.
Windows 7 actually has some decent (and I stress the word decent)
built-in measures that folks can also use.

I looked in the archives but couldn't find anything newer than 2003. Am
I looking in the wrong place?
Anyway, my question is what do you recommend to your families for home
internet filtering?
