When I flip through magazines, I like to read helpful articles, to see captivating photos, to find tips and ideas relevant to my life, and to feel connected to the tone of the magazine.
I also like the magazine to have a cohesive vision and a united tone – not to be scatterbrained and full of tangents. For example, it just doesn’t ring true when I pick up a parenting magazine and read an article about treating common colds naturally or how to avoid unnecessary medications only to be inundated with ads for ADHD drugs and allergy meds…
I like Kiwi Magazine because they have a target audience and a specific purpose (“helping parents raise their children the healthiest way possible” with a focus on “natural and organic living“) – and they stick to it. You won’t find ads for processed snacks and toxin-filled toys. Instead, you’ll find ads that relate to the content (for green expos, eco-friendly products, and healthy foods).
Plus, the magazine has a fun layout and cool features. You can check out my full review here.

I think your comment about a “cohesive vision” in a magazine really rings true. Kiwi sounds like a great one – and I filled out the survey :)
I don’t mind magazines that post different opinions, but I do agree that it’s odd when the ads are in direct opposition to the articles. This magazine sounds good! Thanks for your review. Oh, and I filled out the survey, too. :)
This magazine looks wonderful for someone just starting on the green path with young kids. The Eco crafts and how to shop organic are things I want to learn more about. And yes, I completed the survey as well.
Oh heavens. I agreed with the disparity between articles and ads! I love Kiwi.
I’ve been interested in this magazine since you first mentioned it (I think that was the first I’d heard of it.) I completed a survey too. Thanks.
This is right up my alley. I filled out your survey…I didnt see anywhere to put my name though.
I’d love this subscription! I’m always looking for healthier anything for the kids.
I completed your survey monkey too:-)

I’d love a Kiwi subscription. It sounds like their purpose is right in line with my goals as a Mom.
BTW, I just took your survey. I just wish there were more places on it to say nice things about your blog.
Took the survey and love kiwi mag…hope to win
Wow!!
great giveaway
Over the past year, I’ve been trying to green our lives. But I could still use advice and ideas from an editorial staff who has time to research and publish the ideas for people like me. This would be a great read for our family. Oh, and I filled out the survey too.
looks interesting. thanks. (i took the survey too)
Filled out the survey. Don’t you just love Survey Monkey? I’m always looking for excuses to make surveys b/c Survey Monkey is so much fun! Magazine looks great, too.
This looks like a mag right up my alley. Before the toddler stage my husband and I used to go to bookstores to read the mags. Since that’s not possible anymore I’m interested in getting something good at home for those 5 min of free time so I’ll probably be ordering this if I don’t win it first! It would be a great resource in my efforts to be more green. Oh and I filled out your survey.
Looks very cool!
sounds great! Took your survey too!
This magazine looks really interesting! I can’t wait to see a copy myself. I am having my first child in August, and am always looking for tips and products that are safe for my little one.

Sounds like a great magazine! I agree with your opinion of wanting consistency in a magazine, esp if it’s basis is green/eco living ideas. From the front pic of the example mag, looks like a fun-read too!

I wanted to also let you know why this magazine would be up my alley. I’m learning so much about living green, naturally…organically. It’s terribly important to me that I raise healthy kids, in a healthy home and in a healthy world! I feel this mag will help me with that.
