We’re sure you know a mom who manages to compost, can fruit, and collect eggs from her urban chicken coop. Kiwi Magazine shows you how to be as green as possible, minus the pressure to harvest organic vegetables from your own backyard.

Its articles take an ecofriendly slant, but won’t make you feel guilty for buying conventional apples (gasp!). Content ranges from battling sniffles the natural way to the safest products for wiping down the kitchen counter.

Find projects to keep kids busy on restless days. If you feel tempted to dial for pizza after the carpool run, take a glance at the simple recipes and you’ll rethink dinner. Plus, pediatrician Dr. Lawrence Rosen frequently weighs in on pertinent topics such as pet allergies and ear infections.

It shouldn’t take long to grow on you.
