Summary: Fun, modern approach to family lifestyle; nice alternative.
Comment: I have never written a review but felt very compelled when I read all the negative comments on this magazine. Currently, I receive Cookie free but when my subscription expires, I will happily pay to renew it. Every month, I look forward to my next issue of Cookie. As the Amazon product description states, this is a lifestyle magazine and hooray to that! I WANT to see stylish families with babies strapped to their hips. For me it means that my life doesn't have to be so darn practical. Cookie should not be compared to mainstream parenting magazines. If you want a parenting magazine packed FULL of practical advice, Cookie is not it. While I do like the practical magazines for keeping me informed of things I should know, I enjoy Cookie for its blend of family topics. I'm a full-time working mom and I have used many, many of their quick-to-make recipes with unexpected yet simple ingredients. Cookie is a fun alternative. Regarding the high-end children's fashion, I love flipping through those pages! Does this mean I can afford to buy most of the fashions and/or products advertised? NO, but I like to see what's new and find my own versions. Does everything have to be functional and practical?? If so, then I might as well wear a sack for a dress and strap on a fanny pack; the same for my daughter. Come on ladies, mommy wants to have fun as well!!

Summary: Good Recipes, Nice Articles, Tons of Advertisements
Comment: Pros:
-If you are not planning on saving the world, or hurting your brain, you will enjoy the simple articles.
-They have good recipes that show you how to work with common ingredients. Gives you an idea what to do with your leftovers, and how to feed your kids healthy snacks without overwhelming them.
-You also will find helpful coupons, and valuable family vacation ideas.
Cons:
-This is a very thick magazine, much of which is advertisements. It contains only about 45 minutes' worth of reading material.
-Many of the items advertised are quite pricey, and not ideal for the average family dealing with childcare, tuition, mortgages, gas prices etc.

Summary: Fun...Not Practical (Moms Need More Of That)
Comment: This is a great magazine to flip through with a cup of coffee while my daughter is napping. If you are expecting deep parenting advice, realistic shopping options, and practical ideas this magazine would be a disappointment. An example - In a recent issue there was a page of gorgeous shoes. The price range topped out at $525. I don't think most moms can or would spend $500 on shoes. I did appreciated that they threw in a $28 pair from Payless. Now and then they have some good articles on relationships, but all in all the articles are mostly fluff. For the most part this magazine is more eye candy than substance. If you are looking for the deep parenting advice, realistic shopping options, and practical ideas I'd check out Real Simple's Family special.

Summary: I love it and...
Comment: I am a typical mom...This magazine is not for Betty Crocker type moms, but it is for 21st century moms who want a parenting magazine that speaks to us like we are still thinking and intelligent women. I find the articles very interesting (they are on topics that I am thinking about in my everyday life, living "greener", childhood vaccines, etc.), and love the Cookie Dough section (where you get coupons or deals for on-line stores). I read it cover to cover. Got it for free from Amazon and am thinking about re-subscribing. I really don't understand all the negative reviews.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrible
Comment: Like the others, I received this magazine for free via Amazon. It is not a magazine for your typical mom. If you have a ton of money to spend on designer clothes for your child than this magazine is for you. Otherwise save your money and time and buy a subscription for a more useful magazine designed for real moms, personally I am a fan of Parent Magazine. I do not predict that this magazine will do well or last long. I too would like to cancel my free subscription but I have not had luck in doing so. Some other reviewers stated that this magazine was pretentious and I think that is the perfect description. I do not recommend this, even for free.
