magazine MAGAZINE magazine

Remember awhile ago when I, mockingly, said I was going to start a magazine?

Well, I'm a dork, and I really did.



(I know that Alison was supposed to be on the first cover, but I didn't want to make it look like I was TOTALLY favoring my friends....for now.....sort of.  Even though I kind of did anyway.  But not TOTALLY.)

My sister, Michelle, is my magazine Co-Editor-in-Cheif-and-All-Things-That-Rock (which is a real title  - I looked it up...ok, no I didn't.).  And Barbaloot is writing a piece every month because I only know how to write about wiping noses and butts and let's face it, we need a different perspective on life represented.

Also there is a section called "Potty Talk" and this month is Shelle's absolute FUNNIEST bathroom story ever told.  (Even Husband was laughing while he proofread this, and he never laughs at things I usually think are funny, which just proves it's hilariousness.)

But mostly there's some really great blogs that we found and want to share.  Because that's basically the point of the whole magazine.

So go and read it, because otherwise I'll feel like a huge loser if you don't, and that's what's really important.

Okay-I wrote you an email about everything I thought, but really, it's great.

I now know what my next sporadic post will be about:)
I think might boycott because I'm not on the cover. (How else am I ever going to be a cover model?). But probably I won't.

I loved it! If it were possible for me to blush from the nice things you said about me, I would.

But I don't blush.

I'm actually speechless. Amazing, amazing amazing! The photos and recipes? Had my mouth watering. I subscribed (I think).
Totally leafed through it a few minutes ago. Gonna make the pom-pom beanie. Clicked through and browsed some shoes.

It's so gorgeous. Good job!

Melissa you are one talented chica! I already knew that, but the list just keeps going.....could you slow down a bit and share a little talent with me? Actually, forget talent, it would just be great to hang out with you, I am missing you friend! Keep up the good work, I subscribed.

This all looks fantastic. I'm torn between being in awe of you and disliking you. You make me feel inadequate. You make me feel I should be doing more. But then again, I'm ok with my laziness. I think it's what makes me, me. haha!

you'reamazingandidon'treallydislikeyou. Onlyalittlebitsometimes. ;)

I'll get on those questions for ya ;)

hair loss and mourning

I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d...
