After not getting them for years, I also subscribed to a few print magazines last year when there was a big sale, and I love it! It feels so nostalgic to sit outside on the patio with a good mag and a cold drink, like I did when I was younger (shoutout to Jane mag)
A tip- Better Homes and Gardens got a new editor and ELEVATED. Its so fresh (and they improved the quality of the paper, something I didn't realize completely changes the experience).
Ooh nice! I noticed a somewhat new logo on their cover page when I was perusing magazines. Oh but Jane - what a blast from the past! One of my favorites. Do you remember Tiger Beat?!
Oh yes, I was a Tiger Beat girl! There was a section in the back for swapping pen pals. Pictures and bios of kids with their HOME ADDRESS in a magazine you can pick up at the store?? Wild. I did exchange letters with a few kids over the years.
Mean Baby is so curious! I'm only a quarter of the way in, and I'm interested to see how being categorized as a mean baby from the beginning will impact her life. Also - I had no idea Selma Blair is from Michigan! I am too, so it's been fun reading about her childhood in all my old stomping grounds.
Love a good magazine subscription! I'll treat myself to an alternating one each year, anything from a good old trashy Cosmo to The Atlantic to National Geographic. Sometimes they'll keep sending them after the subscription ends - I guess it ups their circulation numbers? I love having something simple to flip through on the beach or on an airplane. So hard to get into a book for me when there's too much distraction!
Ooh it might be a touch early. The movie really centers on more mature puberty emotions so it’s not as easy to understand for little ones. I wouldn’t say it’s inappropriate, rather just not engaging for them.

I found mean baby fascinating! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on “why are we even here writing newsletters”. The self doubt is real sometimes!!

Just subscribed to Real Simple and Better Homes, thanks to you! I can't wait to get my little treats in the mail 💌
You and me both, Millie! Can't wait to lay in the sun and peruse peruse peruse!

Yes! Agreed. I love having something fresh and fun to read between books.
Jen, keep at it!!! Makes you happy and makes us happy too. - question. Do you think a 5 year old would enjoy Inside Out 2?

Thank you, I figured!
Jen, we love your content so much! Keep it up! Also, Tiger Beat was so legit.
Thank you for the kind words Kara! And truly, tiger beat. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
Thanks for including me Jen - and enjoy your beach time! 😉
