Are there any other magazines like Mothering?

[hornbeck0920]

I'm getting my wish list ready for when we get our tax check (in about a month! Woo hoo!) and I have a list of magazines that I want to subscribe to. Mothering is at the top. Are there any other mags you guys read that I should look into?

I've heard about ?Compleat Mother...it's supposed to be very radical. I've never read it. I find that Mothering is "out there" enough for me for the time being. I don't think there are any others.

you probably wouldn't like compleat mother then. It's mainly birth and breastfeeding stories.

Not soley for moms but Natural Life is really good!

I'm confused - you want recs for other magazines that cover the exact same topics as Mothering? Or recommendations for other types of mags that Mothering readers enjoy?

[Ophelia]

This one is probably pretty darn close although it's local to my area, not national:

"New Beginnings," the magazine put out by LLL covers BFing and other AP type of parenting issues. If you get the LLL membership, you automatically get New Beginnings.

I LOVE Brain, Child magazine. It's not a parenting magazine, more like a semi-literary mag for parents. It's not devoted to natural/AP living, but explores many perspectives. I find it's one of the few pubs out there that's devoted to parenting w/o a primary focus on the early years of parenting. My kids are 15, 13, 11, and 6, so it's nice to read a mag with a broader perspective.

Ditto about Brain, Child.
There's a magazine called Kiwi that focuses on natural/organic living with children.

It really just depends on what aspects of Mothering that you're into, I guess. There's one called E: The Environmental Magazine that I find to be somewhat hit-or-miss with their articles. I love Utne Reader, Ode, and Good Magazine-- they all focus on similar topics like sustainability, global issues, environmentalism (not typical preachy poopoo, though), etc.

Others to look into: AdBusters, Mother Jones, Mother Earth News, DIY Magazine, uhh... I'm sure I can come up with more if these sound interesting to you. Let me know if you'd like some links, but these should all Google well.

I love Yes! Magazine, too.

[hornbeck0920]

Those all sound interesting. Thanks mamas!

Orion magazine is beautiful and thought provoking (addresses human/environmental interaction).

[NewMama2007]

I LOVE Mother Earth News.

[flowers]

I also love Mother Earth News and Brain, Child. There are also smaller underground "zines" like the Hausfrau that is a hysterical account of a mom living in Portland, ME>

If you're one of the liberal crunchy mama mothering readers, you might like "hip mama" Sort of the magazine for all of us who are/were radicals or counter-culture and are kinda going WTF how did I end up in the PTA?

I really like Brain, Child. It operates off the basic assumption that I'm intelligent.

mother earth news is wonderful!!
