This being February, the month of love and whatnot, I thought I'd confess - I love, love, love magazines. Love them. Love the waterfall of colors jumping out from each page, love the way a funky font can set the tone for a whole story, love the inspiration from well-written editorial.That giant stack you see above? Those are just the magazines in the family room by the fireplace ... there's another stack on my bedside table, yet another in a basket in the living room, and a couple in the front seat of the car to entertain me while waiting in the carpool line.
Magazines are also a wonderful spot to get a little inspiration for stories to pitch. It's like a little focus group, free of charge, about what your target audience is reading. What's your favorite magazine for inspiration?

OMG. You are speaking my language. I love, love, love, (BIG HEART) magazines.... on just about any topic. I will even read through catalogs.
They are truly great for inspiration too.
I love magazines too. I'm a PR work at home mom as well! I'm glad I found your blog. I'll read anything, but I subscribe to Mothering, Parents, some regional magazines and Shape. I always get blog/article ideas from magazines! My 3 year old is always "stealing" my magazines. She's got the bug too.
