isn't it great to find a good magazine? isn't it just wild to stand there in front of the hugest display of magazines and just marvel at all that selection? and then i start to think about the different times in my life where i have admired totally different sections..... the possibilities seem endless. scott and i used to spend whole afternoons just having fun catching up on those magazine racks at barnesnobles. we could gather a huge stack and find a cozy table to pour through the pages. sitting across from each other it was funny to see our varied interests. as we sipped our coffees we undoubtedly would share all the latest and greatest from the best takes that we read. the time was magical.
i am reminiscing a bit because lately i have been hogging all of the baby magazines. i sit there in the obgyn's office and wish i had more time in the waiting room to get through a couple more. i have free subscriptions coming to the house. i carry them in stacks from one 'chair' to the next. i set my bottle of tums on a slippery mountain of them next to the bed. it is a funny thing how these magazines have come to life. sometimes they carry such little content, yet i am still romanced by the glossy photos and drooling babies.
then today i was reading an article in parents (jan 2007) that made me realize something for the first time. it is titled 'its a wonderful web' and lists a few parenting/baby websites that are worth looking into. it seemed interesting. i marked the page and decided to look them up sometime when i was surfing. wowsa! these websites are totally cool. i realized that the internet is my new magazine stand. yes, i may have stacks, piles, and loads of well-worn pages of glossy magazines all over the house, but they do not even begin to compare to the internet sites that i have bookmarked. it has been fun to cruise these new sites that the article suggested, so i have included them here in this post and then you can find them in the column to the right where i have links for parenting websites listed. enjoy! devour! hay, and post a comment if you have some good sites that i should add or just check out!

We loved the kiddley.com site. The crayon cookies look fun to make with all those broken crayons. Thank you Aunt Lynn for the great website.
Try www.parentsconnect.com. There are not a whole lot of activities that are posted in southern Wisconsin, but it is cool to connect with other parents and find out that: NO I'm Not Crazy! and Yes My Kid Is Normal!
