KidKraft Vintage Kitchen in Pink

Hubble Bubble – What was cooking in our kitchen this week?

We were asked to review the girls pretend kitchen built by KidKraft.

Welcome to Berkshire Woman!

Summer 2012 Magazine Cover

I hope you’ll find there’s something for every woman, whether she be single, a mother, a grandmother, a business woman, a lady of leisure… Our readers come from all walks of life, and so do our writers. Issues of education, birthing, family life, children, business, relationships, personal and family finance, music, literature, culture and your local news are all inside. And yes, please don’t forget to share it with the men in your life; your partners, husbands, brothers, fathers and friends. In each issue there is a special ‘For your man’ section where we cover issues from men’s health to some often predominantly men’s interests (it’s not to say the ladies will not find it interesting or that our male readers won’t find the rest of the mag intriguing!). For those technologically inclined please read inside – we have some very informative gadget reviews from our in-house technology experts.

It’s a handy size so you can carry the magazine anywhere you go and read it during those (for some rare) snippets of free time.

Have a special look at our ‘Call to our readers’ (four in total in different places in the mag) and let us know what it is that is important to you and we will do our best to tell others. The back of the magazine is for your coffee break with your horoscope, school run recipes and seasonal gardening advice and also numerous special offers from our advertisers we’ve managed to arrange for you.

As from May 2012 we are taking submissions for our ‘What made me laugh aloud’ page and also for our ‘Short story writing competition’. We are looking forward to your stories.

We have experts in various fields and they will be more than happy to answer any of your questions, or just simply read your comments.

We hope you will like it and YES please do let us know. Click on ‘comments’ and leave your comments and suggestions. We do want to know!

Yours,

Billie Krstovic, Editor
