    A great magazine. This magazine is full of lots of practical helpful tips. Great for parents of children of all ages as there is always content that any parent can relate to; including great real stories and also being able to put experiences together and reflect on how we parent.

  • a good spare time read

    i have had a few people buy me this magazine after having my eldest and i must say it is a good, relatable read if you get the spare time to get stuck into it (which like me would probably be hardly ever).

    the magazine has good content, a nice mix of stories and a few other good bits and pieces too. it is not something i would usually read or necessarily buy for myself but i do not feel disappointed in it when i actually do pick it up for whatever reason. i just tend to like to have a bit more adult time when the kids are asleep so i don't really like the idea of more children related things haha

    would recommend

  • its an amazing magazine

    I fell pregnant with my daughter and I was freaking out. I've never had much to do with kids or babies so having my own scared me as I had no idea what I was doing or what the coming years had in store for me. I started buying these magazines and over time I felt reassured that i could do these. It gave me awesome tips and advice. Im pretty sure without this magazine I wouldnt be the parent I am today.

  • Enjoyable time out

    I always bought this when my children were younger, I am at the stage now that I think I know to much!! but the magazine is always good quality and the covers are always bright and cheery, a couple of these on the coffee table at a family home is quiet appropriate and it is always nice to sit with a cuppa if you can find the few minutes, not to many stories are heavy so it is something that you can read over a period of time, article by article, I highly recommend this product especially for newer parents, as sometimes we do not have family support, nor want it.

  • Practical Parenting Magazine

    I was given a pile of Practical Parenting Magazines by a co-worker prior to having my child. I read them all cover to cover. This is a great magazine with interesting articles that are well written and relevant.

    However, once my child was born, I referred to the internet for assistance/ reference rather than the magazines. If you are likely to read the magazine and remember what you read or keep the magazines and refer back to them on a regular basis then I would recommend buying Practical Parenting Magazine.

    This is a great magazine for parents of all age children. It has some great information for pregnant ladies as well as everyone else with children. The articles are great and easy to read. The magazine is a great price and I like how I can pick it up with the grocery every month. Would give this magazine to a new mum in hospital. Great read

  • Best magazine from pregnancy to toddlers

    I was given this magazine 12 months subscription when I was pregnant, the articles are fantastic and have real stories and ideas. I love how it caters for all different stages from pregnancy to toddlers. My daughter is now 6 mon the and I love the recipes, and when she is older I'll be more interested in the toddler section. I can keep going back through these magazines depending on how old she is.

  • Not Impressed.

    I won't purchase this again! I found it awful! To me it was so untrusting, I even gave it to my mother to look over and she thought that It was also awful. The cover to me isn't a big deal as it's not about how it looks, but the information, stories and tips on the inside. I wrote to the magazine and recieved a rude reply back I n regards to my enquiry. I do not appreciate this magazine at all and I would prefer to come online and look for hints, tip tricks and advice.

  • Great magazine for every mum

    I have found this magazine has given me so many answers to questions I had when I was pregnant and it gave me an idea of what birth and motherhood was all about. I also enjoy reading the real life stories about other women's pregnancies and births because it gives you a real perspective of what can happen good and bad while pregnant and giving birth. I highly recommend all women who are pregnant or who have already got kids read this magazine because it can help you and give you great answers ano ideas of what to expect.

  • Amazing guide book

    First I had a chance to have a look at the book in one of my friend house, it was good, then I bought the book from one of the leading supermarkets, It was worth purchasing the magazine, there was nice topics and the cover lines were clearly given and interesting topics about parenting and the contents were clearly articulated. It is a amazing guide book for the parents. I would recommend it for others as well.. Have a good experience with the book.

    I love this magazine, I have a sciption to it, it has been great to know that I am feeling the same as other mothers out there, I always buy a copy for friends who have newborns, sometime it is just nice to read the articles or even things that may happen in the future. I still buy t even with a 5 and 2 yr old.

  • Great read

    I have got this magazine for years now, it is a great read, also at a cheap price when comparing to other baby pregnancy magazines. It has tips, advice, articles, facts, new and reviewed products. Also special offers that are going on. Also sometimes comes with free samples or vouchers for stores. It helped me a lot while my children were younger, I have 4 and oldest is now 6 youngest is 2, and they are still helpful to me and always have new tips or ideas that are usefull. I will keep buying it for another year or two but will definatly refer to friends with small children.

  • Pretty Good

    This magazine is very good for new mums to be. I bought several issues while pregnant and after I'd had my first child. There are heaps of informative articles and real life stories inside. Plus competitions and recipes too. The only thing I would say is that there are alot of ads but that's how every magazine is now.

  • Great for new mums

    This magazine is great for new mums and mums with young children. It's most cost effective to get a subscription - which I did for a few years. I really enjoyed reading the articles but am finding as my kids get older there is less relevance to them. I would like less advertising and more samples in the magazine. Samples are the best form of advertising - I'm more likely to buy if I've tried first.

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • I just read this article and I can’t wait to sign up. There’s nothing better than being rewarded for giving your honest opinion on various topics that may also be important to our local or state community, or even topics of interest to the country. Based on the comments of other people in this community, you can reap many benefits while helping companies make the best decisions for their customers. I can’t wait to start enjoying this portal, and many thanks to the person who brings us such fabulous opportunities to earn some money.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
