Just for Moms - Magazine Subscriptions

Way back in the day I used to subscribe to Shape, Oxygen and Entertainment Weekly. Then I moved on to Scrapbooking and Today's Parent. Now my monthly subscriptions are entirely different. I hate to admit to you what I get in the mail, but they are actually great magazines and ones that I think many of you would also enjoy. The two that I subscribe to currently are: Good Housekeeping and Redbook. I know, I know - those sound like "old lady" magazines! :)

I love the organizational tips, recipes and articles in GH. Believe it or not, it is not entirely about how to keep your house clean (although there are some really neat handy tips for that also). Redbook has some of the same topics but also covers areas like fashion, fitness and some celebrity articles. Both were a deal that I jumped on from the discount websites, but both are magazines that I think I will renew when they are up.

If you are looking for something new and different to subscribe to I would highly recommend either of these. You could always check out their online versions first before you make the "old lady" leap!

Just For Moms - Canadian Family Magazine

Ever since I had H two years ago I have been subscribing to Today's Parent. When it arrives it sits for a few days beside my bed before I get a chance to actually open it. I have found the articles ok - but I can get through the magazine in about an hour and really don't feel like I learned one thing from it.

This year, from the suggestion of my friend Dawn, I did not renew my Today's Parent subscription and started a new one with Canadian Family.

So far, two magazines have arrived and I read them and enjoyed it. It reminded me a bit of Today's Parent, but its stages section seemed longer and more interesting. I can't give it a real decision yet - but so far so good.

You can check the magazine out online as well at www.canadianfamily.ca

I will keep you posted!
