By 2000 Martha Stewart Living magazine's circulation had reached 2.1 million and the homemaking publication went from 10 issues per year to 11, with plans for becoming monthly the following year. Its sibling publication, Martha Stewart Weddings, which had debuted in 1994, had gone from an annual publication to biannual then quarterly. Other special interest magazines had ... joined the ranks, including Entertaining (which had also been the title of Stewart's first book in 1982), Martha Stewart Baby, Halloween, and Clotheskeeping. A new quarterly magazine for families, called Kids: Fun Stuff to Do Together was published in July 2001, filled with recipes, crafts, and games for kids aged three to ten.
Stewart began pushing to renegotiate her relationship with Time again just a year after the formation of Martha Stewart Living Enterprises. She wanted a greater equity stake in the company and the power to expand in new directions. In April 1996, she reportedly asked for a 40 percent stake in Martha Stewart Living Enterprises and greater executive control.

When Martha Stewart was found guilty in March, it was assumed that her once-admired brand would be irrevocably tarnished.
