Hooray, more free stuff!<\/p>\n
A while ago, I got an e-mail from Stephanie of Brain, Child <\/a>magazine. She asked me if I’d be interested in getting to know Brain, Child<\/em> a little better with a back issue, and would I like to give away a one-year subscription to one of my readers. Hell yes!!<\/p>\n I’d heard of Brain, Child<\/em> before, and had been meaning to check it out. They call themselves “The Magazine for Thinking Mothers.” I really, really enjoyed the issue they sent me. There were, to my great relief, no articles offering 20 quick lunch ideas under 300 calories, nor were there any articles on how to decorate your nursery using ridiculously over-priced swag from Pottery Barn Kids. Not a single lipstick review! It was, in short, unlike 99% of the glossy magazines aimed at my demographic. <\/p>\n It was smart, it was witty, it was occasionally wrenching, and it was a really good read. The backbone of the magazine seems to be personal essays, rounded out by a selection of shorter pieces, fiction, features and reviews. I gobbled it all up and can’t wait to go back for more — but I’ll have to wait at least a little while, because they only publish four times per year.<\/p>\n If you’d like to be entered in a draw to win the one-year subscription to Brain, Child <\/em>magazine, just leave me a comment before December 14, 2008 and tell me one thing you’re wishing for this holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hooray, more free stuff!
