this magazine is not about eating sarcophagi

I was at the rec centre today when I found this on the free magazine rack. I will now breathe deeply and restrain myself from ranting.......................................................
Nope, I'm not ready yet.......................................................................
Well, uh, no. Not yet..........................................................

hmmmph.

What's inside this lovely magazine? (actual article titles, ads and quotes)

(under "What does a Yummy Mummy mean to you?)
"I did see one that was coming out of Canada Games pool the other day with four young kids and she was dressed fashionable, the kids were dressed fashionable and they all just looked 'cool' and 'with it.' - Rosa, Momof of 2 - Burnaby"

The Ultimate Self-care for Moms: Life Coaching (as in get one - mompoet's comment)

Okay, it's just a freebie designed to distribute ads. And there is one relatively down-to-earth (though shallow) article about radio host Tara McGuire. And I know it's just marketing, but sheeeeshhh, who the heck is this for. The thought that there are enough women who would read this seriously to make it worthwhile to publish gives me the shivers.

I guess we'll next be seeing Cougar Digest (for the older woman on the make) and maybe even MILFMag for the mom who knows what she's got and isn't afraid to go to town with it.

YUK.

question: don't people have anything better to do? (sorry mom)

It probably brings some money to some advertisers so who cares what the articles are-
What possibly could stylish bamboo baby products be? Now I have to find that magazine.
