As if we didn’t already know that magazine want to make regular woman and moms feel like crap when it comes to their bodies, check out the difference in Kourtney Kardashian’s body… one is real, one is not. Good for her for saying the picture was a fake. All of those magz are airbrushed like cream cheese on a bagel. That might not be the best analogy, but you get the picture.
Take me home country road! Oh, anyone who knew me back in my pre-married days knew there was no one who knew how to be single like yours truly. I climbed on top of some nice looking men, traveled, went out for the fun of it, and had a wide circle of friends. Now, I’m a borderline shut-in whose friends are those who comment on this site. Oh well.
So, I do get sent things all the time from companies and such in the hopes that I will blog about them. I rarely have. I just can’t seem to figure that out. Ironically, this magazine arrived not as a pitch for a blog, but as a sample subscription. Like they had my name from the way-back years.
Sadly, presently I could sooner relate to Aspirational Housecoats.
Hey, Pregnancy magazine ditched their old site (about time) and built a new one. It’s much more user-friendly. And, of course, one of the best parts is, it is featuring Cool Mom vids. I also wrote an essay for them for their March issue (the kind you buy at the newsstand) about my hot pregnancy dreams.

Pregnancy is definitely one of the better mom mags. Not too goofy/sanitized (sample, “Can you calculate your baby’s carbon butt print?”). Oh, and of course, they like me!
Every mom has that pile of books and magazines that you can never seem to get around to actually reading. I just cracked two pages of the New York Times Magazine cover story from 6 weeks ago. I’m hoping if I leave it in my bathroom, I might finally finish it. I always read Star Magazine, but mostly because I am in it every week as a regular contributer to “Worst of the Week.
What reads do you leave lying around hoping you will get to? And what do you really read?
