Every other month is crunch time in these here parts—that special time when we at Mothering magazine focus on putting out a, well, a magazine. We’re in the throes right now, working on the November–December issue, which features  . . . toys! Our annual toy review. Articles editor Candace Walsh, who also does all our product reviews, has been busy soliciting the very best in new natural toys, and they’ve been arriving for months now. It’s been a trip—the office is awash with toys, the staff is abuzz with toy talk, and visitors to the office are just plain confused.

Last week our staff photographer, Melyssa Holik, set up a temporary photo studio in the Mothering library. A couple of days and almost a thousand photos later, she emerged, starry-eyed and exhausted and riding a tricycle. (This model is tricked out like a school bus and has a handy platform at the back—convenient for toting other staffers to the kitchen and back.)
