One of my favorite parenting magazines to read is Mothering. The magazine isn’t filled with chatter and nonsense about the things that toddlers do when they are two, organizing tips or what things I can do to have some time to myself. Mothering hits on real parenting topics like the safety, or rather lack thereof, of vaccinations. They feature articles on natural childbirth, breastfeeding and other parenting issues. This magazine is pro-child and I like that. I find that so many other magazines cater to the what society has made parenting be, a zoo! Mothering also hosts an online discussion community, as well as many other articles on their website by experts like Dr. Sears and man others. Check out Mothering today.
