A Letter from the Associate Publisher,
In the midst of sidewalk chalk artistry, sideline cheerleading at ball prac- tice and Tuesday night tacos, it’s easy to get lost in what is undoubtedly the best and hardest job ever… Motherhood! AKA Mom was created for many reasons but specifi cally two: 1) Like many moms, we wanted a magazine with a “real” approach to parenting, not like the fl uff y “in a perfect world” type stuff that was out there. Motherhood is messy, and we don’t mind saying it. 2) We wanted a magazine that is for us; the faces behind the word “Mom!!!” that so many of us repeatedly yet thankfully hear at least a hundred times a day.
Whether you are a working mom, a stay at home mom, a work at home mom, a single mom, a new mom or a mom that has seen it all, we know you will fi nd AKA Mom an engaging and fun place to connect with your- self and with others like you. So put the kiddos to bed, put on some comfy pj’s and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Hannah’s Mom Wendy Manning Associate Publisher & Creative Director AKA Mom Magazine
