 A
Note From
The Editor
I
know, you've probably been wondering: "Where is my Mommy Too!?" Well, here it is
-- our January and February issues to start off a brand new year.
Since the beginning of the new
year we
have been restructuring and rearranging in order to accommodate the magazine's
growth and also to make the magazine as enjoyable for you to read as possible.
In our restructuring process we now have new openings for more moms on our team.
Take a look at our openings page if you would like to be a part of the best
magazine on the Net for mothers of color.
I hope you enjoy these two packed issues! There is a lot here to read and more ways to
get involved with other Mommy Too! readers.
Be sure to share Mommy Too! with all the mommies you know this month. See you in
March.
All the best!
