Wild Asparagus is on a distinguished road
Default Do you read any "homemaking/decorating" magazines?

What are your favorites? Why?

Do you subscribe?

A lady in our church gives me a subscription to Better Homes and Gardens every year. I really do like it a lot. It has a lot of variety and includes food/recipes and gardening as well as decorating.

I got a year subscription to Real Simple Magazine back in 2009...I still enjoy flipping through those copies.

Better Homes and Gardens and Real Simple are my faces for that. I may not renew, and just get them from the library when they run out, though.

My husband just bought me a Real SImple subscription0 I'm so excited. I always see them at work but never have time to look at them when I'm there.
