You want only new moms/moms to be or all moms?

I can tell you as a new mom I lived for the parenting magazines, lol. Seriously, I didn't think I knew much and didn't trust myself not to screw my baby up somehow. It was great to have something to turn to that showed me it was normal to worry and normal to make mistakes.

I read Parents magazine everytime it came out, they always had sections about activities, games, learning, etc that started with infants and went up to a few years old (I can't remember if it went to older children too?) There was another one but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

These days I'm not too into magazines and the only website I check out is Family Education. I like it cuz it seperates by age groups and you can find reading lists, activities, school help etc by how old your kid is. I get two emails a week (maybe every week?) from them that are specific to my kids age groups.

I had tons when my kids were little!!! Parents,
Child Life, Family Fun, Parent & Child.
I wish they had magazines to navigate the teens years.

That's great -- thanks so much already! I'm more looking at baby to toddler years. Thanks! (And hopefully my research will be useful for those who read this thread, too!)

I never really got into parenting magazines. If you ask me, all the articles are basically reruns. I mean, how many different tricks are there to get a baby to sleep or how many different ways are there to deal with diaper rash or teething or a fever? The only interesting part is if they have a new toys article.

War, the other one you might be thinking of is Parenting. The titles are so close...

That might be it Julie. Tex is family fun the one that has a lot of articles on activities, recipes that kids can help make and stuff like that?

I liked the milestones columns and any mag that had T. Berry Brazelton, I read.
Yes, War, that's the one.

OK, then I did read that one sometimes too. I don't remember if it was just cuz they sent me some issues or if I actually bought some though.

I never really cared for the magazines unless I was/am waiting in the pediatrician's office.

Like Cinnamongirl, I also went to Babycenter.com. The site would peek my interest at times with the regular emails they sent me regarding the progress of my pregnancy.

Yankee I read Today's Parent which is Canadian and I also am a member of babycenter.com. I find to that the magazines usually have alot of repeats but I think they always have a bit of what I'm looking for to. As far as babycenter....they have birth clubs (message boards) geared towards your specific age group and that really helps alot.

I feel so terrible that I never get a chance to post anymore but I try to keep up on some things around here. I figured I would post for Yankee's research and just to let everyone know that all is well here.

Miss Myla is a dream. She is no trouble at all. Her fussy time is usually right around bed time and only last about 10 minutes. That I can handle for sure.

Sam is going on his third night in a big boy bed. So far he has fell asleep in his crib and awoke in his bed. I just put him down for a sleep in his bed and he played for 45 minutes but never got out. I think his is finally done now.

Well I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to post more often.
:-)

Hey Spit - glad you're doing well. 2 is busy but it gets funner and funner. Nate starts kindergarten on Sept.13th!! And Starr starts pre-schoole sometime around then! I can't believe how fast they grow up. Nate just turned 4 and is swimming, riding his scooter, playing all sports really well and is so suddenly grown up! He still gets into trouble at the park sometimes, but I think he's definitely getting easier. Starr is a dream too. She turns 2 on Nov.29th and is so sweet and loving and funny!!!! I return to work on Oct.2 after an almost 2 year leave. I'm looking forward to it and get every Friday off. Here's a pic of Nate, Starr and I and how we spent a lot of this summer:

Enbwife, what a great picture! That bike is quite the set-up and looks like it's a lot of fun. Gosh, the kids are growing too fast. Slow them down, wouldja?

Spitfire, looking for your photos next!

Good grief, those babies are really getting big. It looks like you had a great summer with the kids. I love that they both have big old smiles, even Starr when you finally get under that helmet to look. LOL

Great pics enb!!!

Magazines- I am unfortunately addicted to them but have downsized to CHILD and PARENTING. Those 2 have the best articles for my taste. The other magazines I think ar more just icing, not too much depth. My opinion of course.

Of course, they are all piled up and I am behind probably to last year or so. They are by my bed and I pick them up in order when I can.

When I was first pregnant I subscribed to a ton of them but soon learned that was a silly idea. I also like Fit Pregnancy a lot but of course, only while you are preggo.

Hope that helps..

Here is an update picture of Dylan:

Ok, so after about fifty tries I finally got it to work...except you have to click it. That sucks! How do I post a picture to show up? I know I've done it before but cannot remember how.

Myla and Sam are so cute and Dylan is so handsome. It's crazy how fast they grow. Nate starts Junior Kindergarten tomorrow and takes the school bus... it just seems so crazy to me. I return to work in less than 3 weeks... our nanny starts with us then. So much change but I'm definitely ready for it. :-)
