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!

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

little pieces of my heart will be for sale at D.I.

I have this thing about my kids clothes. The thing is, I LIKE BUYING THEM CLOTHES. I get in trouble frequently for this. It's just that the old ones get so boring after awhile. And I hate it when the really cheap clothes look like poop after washing them a couple of times. Luckily, I live in a city that has outlet stores. I love outlet stores (and Ebay!) Alot of the time you can find higher quality clothes for Walmart prices so how could I NOT buy them? It would be like wasting money for me NOT to get a couple $4 shirts at OshKosh. Right? RIGHT?!! The problem is - we have tiny closets. Miniature, puny, ridiculous, TINY closets. The other problem is - I have saved EVERYTHING. Not only are the kids' closets chuck full of stuff, but we have multiple rubbermaid bins in our garage full of baby clothes they've all grown out of. Also, we may not be having any more children. And I say "may not" because if I say "for sure not" someone will have to co
