LovelySmurfette says "What a load of ...it!" about Cookie

LovelySmurfette — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:04:31 GMT

Not even practial! The only good thing are the books recommendations for kids, because they're books you can find online or in-store at Barnes and Noble with member discount...but everything else...! And it's hard to find that only good thing in a sea of ads....and don't let me go over the rayon-poly-bag they sent me: kind of bad joke when they picture and recommend use Prada bags as poopy-diaper carriers instead of the diaper bag that the formula brand -the one you're feeding your baby with- gives to you when you leave the hospital...

...and good Lord! This month they dressed up a 8 years old girl like she's an avid materialist shopaholic at 30-some (with a Burberry raincoat that cost $360 and $62 rainboots), wich makes me think they encourage materialism, frivolity and a twisted taste for "vintage (the girl with the expensive raincoat wores a brooch of a kitten from a vintage thrift store) -minimalist-abstract" life style (that equals extremely expensive): what kind of baby or kid prefers......

VictoriaNyy says "All moms or moms to be Cookie is a MUST" about Cookie

I just received my first issue of COOKIE Magazine yesterday. I love it!! So many great articles for moms and moms to be!! It's a very classy, but cute mag. I can't wait to tell all my mommy friends about it! I read it from cover to cover, just couldn't put it down until every page was read!...

I subscribed to Cookie magazine because it was advertised in a Girl Scout fundraiser. I thought it sounded intriguing. After I received the first magazine I started recycling them the instant I received a new one. For the average mom the ads and most things suggested in the articles are not truly affordable. Most moms I know are looking to pay the bills and go on a nice vacation that doesn't cost the suggested deal of $10,000. I confess that I have not read many of the articles, but after reading the key to saving my marriage was more sex and most recently that some woman and I quote "was a sh.....y wife" because she refused her husband I was truly appalled. Do I really need to read this? I'm pretty sure that most moms would agree to have any foul language in print where my children could see it is not the magazine for me....

KristeyK says "This is a fun magazine!" about Cookie

The issues I have gotten so far do tend to be a little more geared towards moms with extra income, but there are still great ideas in there....

giraffe454 says "Short read if you can find the 5 pages of articles in the ads" about Cookie

giraffe454 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 04:43:24 GMT

I pitched in the $13 for the first year to be a "charter subscriber" to this "new, hip" magazine. The "free bag" drew me in as well as the claim for "new, upscale information". The bag was the cheapest free magazine gift I ever recieved, a tiny piece of nylon crap. Humorous when the magazine touts such expensive, high quality products. I figured the magazine would be something different than the usual "Parents" and "Parenting" magazines I'm always reading. I was very dissappointed in how little information was actually in this magazine. I am estimating there was maybe 30 pages of articles and information in about 150 pages of magazine, and thats estimating high for the useful pages. Nearly the entire magazine was filled with extremely overpriced products and clothing for kids. And even their "affordable" vacations were always in the multiple thousand dollar price range. I loved that every suggested vacation came complete with on site daycare. Why not just leave the kids at home if...

snoopyh77 says "NOT for me...." about Cookie

snoopyh77 — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 21:32:31 GMT

I got this magazine subscription for free, and I am glad I did not pay money out for it. It is really hard to see the articles in between the millions of ads, and the way the magazine is produced, everything looks the same in it, therefore I usually thumb right over any useful info. Everything is also geared for high income families. Toddler beds for $1100 and a onesie for $67? Yeah right! lol I loved the article 10 affordable way to make over your family room - the total for their make-over was around $5000! Ummm not affordable in my book! Even the recipes featured in the magazine are ritzy high end recipes. This magazine is definitely not for me....

magazinesubscriber says "The worst magazine I've ever seen" about Cookie

magazinesubscriber — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:21:32 GMT

This magazine claims its "All the Best For Your Family". However, it is quite the contrary. Its everything but best for the family. It promotes materialism and demotes family values. It simply, encourages families to waste money & to live like "Liya Kebede (Feb 2008 issue) model mother, fashion designer, and philanthropist". Thank you, but I don't want to live or dress like her or her like. This is why I unsubscribed to this stupid and useless "magazine"....

LoveisJoy says "Posh Tots and Fabulous Moms" about Cookie

LoveisJoy — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 23:20:24 GMT

I knew I wasn't part of this magazine's typical subscriber demographic when I opened to an ad featuring a $182 cotton frock for a 2 year old. Don't get me wrong, it was a cute sleeveless summer dress that she'll probably outgrow in a few months. My issue is that you could get a similar look at Old Navy for ten bucks. And yet, this is the type of merchandise you're likely to find in the pages of Cookie Magazine.

I received Cookie magazine as a gift subscription. It's geared toward sophisticated, latte-drinking, nanny-employing, Manolo-buying mothers and their young families. Although I could not really relate to vacations at the Hamptons or how to choose a designer to update my artist loft, I found the magazine to be intriguingly readable. The articles are well written and even thought-provoking.

For example, one article caught my attention about a mother with a dilemma. She had a four-year old son who enjoyed playing dress up, and particularly enjoyed the pink tutus and...

my4kidsmom says "Not useful for the average middle class mom." about Cookie

my4kidsmom — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 22:46:13 GMT

I received a free subscription to this magazine through Amazon.com, and I'm certainly glad that I did not spend money on it. The magazine seems more suited to people with a lot of money (many of the ads are for expensive products/stores) and even the articles seem to feature high-end products for you or your kids. Also, there are just too many ads to sort through to find the articles. I prefer a magazine with practical ideas for busy stay-at-home-moms who try to live within a budget.

JaymeR99 says "A bit disappointed" about Cookie

JaymeR99 — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:58:57 GMT

This magazine sounded GREAT when I read the description so I subscribed and am very disappointed. I have received three magazines so far and I have found there to be very few interesting articles in it. The majority of the magizine is Advertisements only....

valuisy says "Lots of fluff which can be fun, but little useful information." about Cookie

valuisy — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 20:28:29 GMT

This relatively new magazine is different in that its emphasis is on the finer products dealing with babies and kids. The travel section is helpful with family ideas for different destinations. However, I found little else that really grabbed my interest. The fashions were gorgeous, but a little outrageous for kids. Maybe if my children were younger (they're 5 and 7), I might have found more useful information in this magazine. However, I did not find it beneficial to my family so I will not be renewing my subscription....

blondie55 says "One of my favorite magazines." about Cookie

blondie55 — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:20:02 GMT

This is my favorite parenting magazine - smart, funny, and beautiful to look at. The stories are never the talking down to you, fear-mongering type that most parenting magazines love; they take into account that not only are you a mother, you're a person outside of that. The recommendations are always spot-on - books, toys, and games that I can't wait to try; the recipes are easy and delicious, the advice is spot-on. I know a lot of people are turned off by the fact that it seems to be written more for the wealthier, but I'm not wealthy at all and it fits my life!...
