This self-titled "mama-centric community center" ain't no soccer-ball-on-the-minivan, Tupperware-partying pastel puff piece, it's all about celebrating lives of women with both children and hungry minds: vital, intelligent, interesting people whose contribution to society is more than just the fruit of their loins. Along with community-oriented discussion threads, recipes, restaurant reviews, and listings of locally produced wares, Austin Mama features extensive profiles of interesting local mamas as well as uncompromising editorials by some of Austin's best writers spiced up with art by animal lover Sarah Higdon – not to mention that it provides a perfect relief from cartoons, juice boxes, and Legos.
