If you haven’t heard of New Moon Girls magazine for girls….you MUST take a look and QUICK. This amazing publication is THE alternative to the girly-makeup-boy crazy-shopping magazines targeting young girls. This magazine is perfect for girls 8 and up and is ad-free! Instead of pushing girls to early anorexia and bulimia, this magazine promotes true self esteem, confidence, and stories from real girls who think life is more about being real and true to themselves than what the “hot” color for the season is.  The magazine describes itself as:

New Moon Girls magazine is about helping girls discover and honor their true selves, engage in meaningful pursuits and dialogue, and express their voices in ways that matter.

This magazine is on the verge of collapse and as a Mother and woman I cannot imagine not having this publication for my daughters! Please consider a gift membership for a holiday gift for a young girl in your life who needs guidance beyond makeup tips and how to kiss a boy…. let her read about strong girls and women who are making a difference in our world! Even consider a subscription to your local library, school, women’s shelter, or a doctors office. Also, see how Mothering Magazine is working hard to save this publication as well!

The deadline is  December 12, 2009.  Please help save this magazine and young girls from trappings of “being a girl”. We need all the strong, independent, girls we can get!
