Look what came in the mail today?? A Good Housekeeping magazine with some of my words in it– page 213 of the December issue if you’re wondering. Martha Stewart and Bobby Flay may be utterly blase about appearances in magazines, but it’s still a pretty big deal to me.
If you’re here because you saw the story, welcome! I’m so glad you came. Click around and explore. I write about all sorts of stuff— with frugality, adoption, mothering, and good food being some of my favorite topics. If you’re wondering whether this blog is worth visiting again, try these stories on for size:
How to save money at any store
How to can: my favorite canning recipes
How we homeschool: pictures from handwriting class
How on earth we afforded 6 adoptions (no, we’re not rich!)
How to make my most-stumbled recipe: Lemon Curd Cake
In honor of the Good Housekeeping story– have I mentioned how thrilled I am?– this week I am going to give away a copy of each of my books, Family Feasts for $75 a Week and A Sane Woman’s Guide to Raising a Large Family. To enter, simply comment below and tell me one of two things:
- If you are a brand new reader, tell me how you got here. Was it through Good Housekeeping? Google? Some other blog?
- If you’ve been here before– welcome back, friend! –will you tell me what types of blog posts you most enjoy reading? Recipes? Money-saving? Adoption? Parenting? Other?
You have until Saturday morning to comment. I’ll announce the winners early next week!
