  This is a great magazine that I just discovered today. And what does Barefoot Books have with it? Spring has sprung and Barefoot Books is excited to announce their partnership with Brain, Child: The Magazine for Thinking Mothers!
They are wanting to partner with organizations that provided for moms and dads what they aim to bring to children - content that piques our interest and keeps us reading!
From Barefoot Books: "Filled with essays, debates, fiction and reviews, Brain, Child isn't like any parenting magazine we know of; each issue is like that friend you call when you're upset and just the sound of her voice calms you down."
Brain, Child editors say, "We all know that motherhood takes you places - and we're not just talking the pediatrician's office or the soccer field. Whether they're places thought-provoking, poignant, or just plain funny, Brain, Child is the magazine that actually goes there, too. And whether you've been a mother for ten months or ten years, we're betting that Brain, Child, like motherhood, will surprise you with the places you never expected to go."
Brain, Child looks to be a very enjoyable magazine. It is kind of hard to judge from only reading a couple of articles online from the current issue. It's nice to be able to sit down with a physical copy in ones hand and slowly page through looking at pictures, reading excerpts here and there and avoiding the adds. However, that being said, of the four articles available to read online, I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and they all made me think. Isn't that nice? I don't remember the last time I actually wanted to pick up a magazine (National Geographic and the Smithsonian don't count) that I enjoyed reading, let alone one about parenthood. All of the parenting magazines out there disgusted me a long time ago because they never deal with issues that are important to me. They were always advertising equipment so far out of my price range it's like they're from a different planet and the articles rarely applied to me. Well, no, I take that back. I've always enjoyed Mothering's articles. Anyhow, so it was refreshing to sit down and read information that applied to me and my situations right now. Oh, and even my husband enjoyed the articles! How cool is that? So, check out Brain, Child and see for yourself.
Oh, and don't forget. In celebration, Barefoot Books has offered FREE shipping for this weekend!
