Brain, Child

Have you seen this magazine? It’s one of my favorites by far. Sure it falls  into  the parenting category of magazines but it’s way more than any parenting mag I’ve ever read. It’s got good essays and fiction. Lots of humor. It always holds a good meaty feature story. And it’s got tidbits of newsworthy pieces pertinent to your role as parent. There are no how-tos such as top ten ways to get your child to sleep or to get them to eat. It holds no strong views on whether or not you should nurse or circumcise or co-sleep or vaccinate. Instead it’s just got really good writing. And thoughtful discussions. And funny cartoons.

And, perhaps one of the greatest things, it arrives quarterly. That means you’ll have no pile-ups of unread issues or backlog of materials. You know how those monthly mags can sometimes go? You’ve finally picked up one and the next one is stuffed into your mailbox? With Brain,Child you’ll be super psyched when each issue arrives and if you’re smart, or lucky, or both, you’ll carve out a little solo mama reading time all to your very own so you can fully dive into each issue. Is it wrong that a parenting magazine makes you want to stop parenting in order to be able to fully digest each issue?

Referred to as the magazine  for thinking moms, it really is one of my favorite magazines of all time. And even if I’m not in total thinking mom mode, it can bring me there a lot faster.

For the next week only Brain,Child is offering a special rate to Slow Family Living readers. Just $19.95 for one year and $34.00 for two years. Click here to get it while it’s hot. No limit on the number of subscriptions! Good for renewals AND gifts.

That’s it! Now go get yourself an issue and you’ll be ready for the summer issue which will be out soon. Have I mentioned that I love this magazine?

Brainchild and Slow Family Living

brainchild cover 3

Some of you may know that one of my all time favorite magazines is Brain,Child. It is thoughtful, thought provoking, sentimental, informative, creative, inspirational and just a damn good read with some really amazing writing. It has feature stories, essays, fiction, reviews, debate and has been called “The New Yorker of parent magazines.” Its tagline is “the magazine for thinking moms” but it is more than that, it is a magazine for thinking people of all ilks. It is the one magazine that when it arrives I read it cover to cover and because it comes quarterly, it is decidedly slow living. You can explore their current issue here.

Brain,Child is having their 10th anniversary soon and in honor of, they are offering a 10% discount to all Slow Family Living readers. To get your discount just type in discount code: ABATX35 Tell them Slow Family sent you.
