I have a subscription to four different parenting and baby magazines: Parents, Parenting, Babytalk, and American Baby. This is my favorite. I seems to be the most informative and the topics are presented in Parents long before Parenting every gets around to it. For example, Parents had a indepth article on new discoveries in miscarriages and the following month parenting ran a similar article, but was not as informative and obviously was a steal from Parents. There are also great contest. There are also topics that parents can send in comments about and actually get paid for them if published. All I can say is that this is the only magazine I need and will not be renewing the others. -- Julie Beth Smith "babiesmomma" (Maryville, TN United States)

I really love this magazine because, first of all, I love Genealogy! And this magazine is a great source of information whether you are just starting out on your family search or if you've been hitting the archives for years.
And it is WEB oriented which is just what I'm looking for as I do a lot of research online. Family Tree Magazine always has new or important search tips. I learned to check characteristics of old photos for clues in narrowing a search for birth years when you don't have an exact date. Then I looked in the census for years around that time period to find the person I was looking for. -- Linda Earls (Kerman,CA USA)

Amazon Price: $15.00 (as of 08/07/2008)
List Price: $42.00
I've read everyone's reviews then I received my own copy in the mail. I like it. It's for parents who read Vogue, In Style- stuff like that. I don't want magazine advise on my kid. I get enough unwarranted advise already. Yes there are plenty of things I cannot afford, but like when I read fashion magazines in the past- I found a way to get the look I liked without coughing up so much I-need-to-pay-the-utilities dough. You can always DIY or knock off. I read to relax. The layout's nice. Lush colors. Fashion, decor, food and fluff articles. Hope Cookie hangs around for us parents who don't find they fit the Parents/ Good Housekeeping crowd. -- supernovadiva5000 (dallas, texas)

I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 41/2 year old, they both love the magazine. It has characters that the kids know and are interested in. Lots of activities. My daughter went through the entire magazine in the first sitting and continues to go through it. The activities are right on target and don't frustrate her. I went to the bookstore and looked at all the magazines before I got a subscription. Some of the other mags have too many advertisements and are pushing their products. This has no advertisement pages in it. I liked the fact that it had activities that both kids were interested in doing. Counting and colors for 2 year old and writing and thinking skills for 4 year old. Highly reccommend. But, if you are looking for a subscription for your child, buy a few different single magazines for them to look at and see what they are interested in. You don't want to waste money on a mag they don't want. I was very happy with this one. -- "cmoise5" (Houston, TX United States)

ADDitude
Amazon Price: $19.99 (as of 08/07/2008)
List Price: $41.70
I am a pediatrician with 2 ADHD children. Although I have alot of technical knowledge on the subject, I have found this magazine extremely helpful in terms of suggestions for problem-solving day-to-day issues, and keeping things in perspective (if they discuss the same problems we're having in a magazine, then the challenges my kids face and my less-than-perfect parenting are not failures of discipline and self-control- we're just part of the ADHD community!) Very straightforward, balanced, but mainstream viewpoint. Lots of practical articles about living with ADHD in all settings and behavioral/ cognitive interventions. Doesn't push medication, although it does provide information and tips on dealing with side-effects. Also light on coverage of alternative therapies. Plenty for both affected adults, teens and parents of ADHD children. -- Kate McCune (Berkeley, CA)

This is one of the premier scrapbooking magazines. These magazines are very professional in appearance, and the paper used has a good weight to it. It does emphasize 12x12 layouts, and these are sorted by themes. Every issue has a new theme, with pages sent in by real people. New techniques and products are featured every time. It also included pages that were quite good but not quite good enough to make the articles. These idea pages are also themed, and a call does go out periodically for type x y or z pages. Of special interest are the ads (to show the latest and greatest), the local events page, and the yearly index of pages. It also includes an area for children and teens who scrap. -- Dale J Stephenson (Sugar Hill, GA United States)

When I received my first issue of Adoptive Families Magazine, I could not wait to read it! It felt great to feel connected to many of the writer's stories. My husband and I are waiting for our first American,adopted newborn and this magazine continues to educate us on the adoption process. I recognize a few of the magazine's writers and advisory committee members attending their lectures and through books they have written. Also, there are diverse viewpoints and laws that appear to be changing due to this network. After months researching adoption, I feel the adoption community in America is a kind of family and just beginning to grow. -- ROY (Pennsylvania...Artist)

n 1990 I started homeschooling my three younger children and continued on until they received their high school diplomas in 1998. For all but two years of that time, all of it as a snail-mail-dependent, pre-overseas-Internet military family in Europe, my regular homeschooling support was Home Education Magazine.
Although they didn't know it, the magazine's columnists and writers held my hand through my ups and downs, gave me ideas when I needed them, and reflected back to me many of my own situations but with a twist that always gave me insight. I found mailing information for catalogs from which to order our materials, and even a school for when the kids got into high school and we wanted transcripts and diplomas. Every two months the mail clerk delivered my homeschooling lifeline. Other magazines had information, HEM had heart.
For the two years when a support group was available, the magazine provided inspiration for the newsletter I produced, and is continues to do so now for my website.
The homeschool-support world has grown with the expansion of online connections and my kids are grown, yet my subscription continues. It just might come in handy with the grandkids. -- Valerie Bonham Moon (Not in the Alps, unfortunately)

Yes, it is detailed... so when you screen movies for your kids--or yourself--you can know exactly whether is "violent" and what that means, whether there is sex or bad language, type of humor, what spiritual content is, against a biblical template...and,can decide for yourself whether to go or not. I do not always agree with the conclusions, but often do...and find the details helpful in assessing what our family may choose to watch. My older teens have read it for years, and use the data to decide what is worth their time. Again, they do not always reach the same conclusions as the magazine, but find it helpful. Unlike another reviewer, I did not find political content, but did find clear descriptions, followed by opinion, on the various categories of content. As a Christian parent, especially of younger kids, it has been useful in its descriptions and screening criteria often lacking in most other reviews. Nowadays, we still use it because time is a precious commodity. -- Student of the Word (Eagle River, Alaska)
