Another One Bites the Dust

First Mothering, now the magazine Brain, Child has folded.  I missed the announcement conveyed via Motherlode earlier and only learned about it with my last issue today.  I'm sad.  I liked that the magazine, like Mothering, treated moms as intelligent, thoughtful, curious women and not as competitive consumers of trends and information (I'm looking at you, Parents and Parenting) or as bubbly, fun, full-time camp counselors (FamilyFun and Kiwi).  I'm glad I got through the baby years with the magazine on my nightstand. . . and have my back issues.  Still, the world of parenting got a little bit narrower today.
