SPECIAL INVITATION TO

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS®

READERS

At

Better Homes and Gardens,

we’re dedicated to providing

the inspiration and information you need for your home and

the life that happens there—and that includes your life as a

mom. We know how important it is to share a connection with

other moms to learn how they handle the issues facing families

today and to offer your own well-earned wisdom.

That’s why we’re launching The Motherboard, where moms like

you can tell us what’s on your mind.

Throughout the year, members of The Motherboard will be

invited to share their opinions on a wide variety of topics—

including raising kids, schools, family nutrition, money matters,

and more. These findings will help shape the stories we write

about in the pages of our magazine and on our website.

As a member of The Motherboard, you’ll receive an exclusive

free weekly newsletter chock-full of tips, advice, and interesting

conversations among moms from across the country, as well as

previews for special offers and product samples. Plus, when you

sign up, you’ll be entered for the chance to win $20,000 in The

Motherboard Sweepstakes. See official rules on page 214.

Visit BHG.com/motherboard today to sign up for your free

newsletter and enter to win. I look forward to hearing from you!
