Summary: Good Recipes, Nice Articles, Tons of Advertisements
Comment: Pros:
-If you are not planning on saving the world, or hurting your brain, you will enjoy the simple articles.
-They have good recipes that show you how to work with common ingredients. Gives you an idea what to do with your leftovers, and how to feed your kids healthy snacks without overwhelming them.
-You also will find helpful coupons, and valuable family vacation ideas.
Cons:
-This is a very thick magazine, much of which is advertisements. It contains only about 45 minutes' worth of reading material.
-Many of the items advertised are quite pricey, and not ideal for the average family dealing with childcare, tuition, mortgages, gas prices etc.

Summary: Fun...Not Practical (Moms Need More Of That)
Comment: This is a great magazine to flip through with a cup of coffee while my daughter is napping. If you are expecting deep parenting advice, realistic shopping options, and practical ideas this magazine would be a disappointment. An example - In a recent issue there was a page of gorgeous shoes. The price range topped out at $525. I don't think most moms can or would spend $500 on shoes. I did appreciated that they threw in a $28 pair from Payless. Now and then they have some good articles on relationships, but all in all the articles are mostly fluff. For the most part this magazine is more eye candy than substance. If you are looking for the deep parenting advice, realistic shopping options, and practical ideas I'd check out Real Simple's Family special.

Summary: I love it and...
Comment: I am a typical mom...This magazine is not for Betty Crocker type moms, but it is for 21st century moms who want a parenting magazine that speaks to us like we are still thinking and intelligent women. I find the articles very interesting (they are on topics that I am thinking about in my everyday life, living "greener", childhood vaccines, etc.), and love the Cookie Dough section (where you get coupons or deals for on-line stores). I read it cover to cover. Got it for free from Amazon and am thinking about re-subscribing. I really don't understand all the negative reviews.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrible
Comment: Like the others, I received this magazine for free via Amazon. It is not a magazine for your typical mom. If you have a ton of money to spend on designer clothes for your child than this magazine is for you. Otherwise save your money and time and buy a subscription for a more useful magazine designed for real moms, personally I am a fan of Parent Magazine. I do not predict that this magazine will do well or last long. I too would like to cancel my free subscription but I have not had luck in doing so. Some other reviewers stated that this magazine was pretentious and I think that is the perfect description. I do not recommend this, even for free.

Summary: Fantastic - not pretentious
Comment: I view this magazine differently than many of the other raters, apparently. I have not found it to be the least bit pretentious. In fact, I prefer it to the other parenting magazines to which I subscribe. I find it intelligent and well written for an educated reader. Granted, I do not necessarily agree with every article, but I've always believed that it's important to be aware of the pros and cons of all approaches, including the beliefs of others, and I'd rather read new and different views than read the same story regurgitated 1000 times over. I also find the ads and recommended products inspiring - I might splurge on one or two items or simply find similar versions elsewhere at lower prices.
