\"MotheringMothering <\/em>magazine Editor-in-Chief, Peggy O’Mara, announced in an on-line editorial that the Mothering<\/em> magazine will cease its print edition in order to concentrate efforts on its on-line community.<\/p>\n

Mothering’s website<\/a> and community forums get upwards of 500,000 visitors a month and @MotheringMag has over 75,000 followers on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The print magazine was down to a circulation of only 100,000, and was no longer financially viable.<\/p>\n

There will be no digital edition of the magazine either.<\/p>\n

In her editorial, O’Mara explains that Mothering<\/em>‘s advertisers and subscribers, many of whom are stay-at-home or work-from-home moms, have been hard hit by the economy.<\/p>\n

My head is reeling. I’m so disappointed to hear this news.<\/p>\n

I discovered Mothering when my daughter was born eleven years<\/a> ago and a friend bought me a subscription.\u00a0I eagerly awaited each issue to come in the mail and always read the magazine from cover to cover.<\/p>\n

Every time a new issue of Mothering came it was like getting a visit from an old friend.<\/p>\n

I published one of my first long articles in Mothering<\/em>:\u00a0“‘Mommy, I Want Nummies!’ The Benefit of Nursing Past Three<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I work now as a contributing editor and blogger for Mothering<\/em>. My popular blog, which is updated three times a week, is called “Mothering Outside the Lines.” The last thing I want to see is the magazine cease.<\/p>\n

It’s a difficult time to be a writer when so much is in flux.<\/p>\n

But perhaps there’s a more Shakespearean way to look at this. According to Shakespeare, Sweet are the uses of adversity.<\/p>\n

Perhaps what feels like a tragedy will be an opportunity in disguise.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Since the announcement, Peggy O’Mara has started her own on-line platform, peggyomara.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
