This marks a huge occasion for Nurture, after eight years of publication, we’re excited to reveal your new and improved reading experience – it’s about me time, not screen time! Part of our initiatives for the magazine are an entirely new rebrand, soy-based ink ensuring Nurture is 100% post recyclable and eco-friendly subscriber satchels with bio-compostable packaging.

In Issue 22 we’re covering the very important topic of Self-Love. More than just self-care, more than a massage or a foot soak (although they’re both nice!), we’re diving deep into what genuine care and appreciation for ourselves looks like. With many ah-ha moments and loaded with practical tips that you can apply every day, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the articles. Be sure to check out the Sharing Kindness Challenge on page 49, for your chance to win a Burleigh Wagon Bundle worth $499. We also have articles and Q&A’s from our regular parenting mentors. Our mentors are also available to answer your questions in our Facebook group; we invite you to join. Simply search ‘Nurture Parenting Magazine’ on Facebook, or use this link. facebook.com/groups/nurtureparentingmagazine Enjoy the gift of Nurture, we’re so delighted you’re here with us.
