thehsmomof2 I think that a good cover picture is important, but I do not need pictures in the magazine. I can live with out the ads and the pictures. I only need good articles, stories, anecdotes, etc., to read and keep me happy.

thehsmomof2 I love to cook big meals, and make double and triple batches to freeze. However, over the last few years, I have been having my daughters cook more and more. They are teenagers and need to learn these skills for when they move.
