Will You Go Western?

What do you think of Glamour's '14 Most Wearable Fall Fashions'?

House Beautiful

but never perfect

In an effort to get some inspiration, I pulled out my three-ring binder of “good ideas”—the one with pages torn out of magazines, things I come across that inspire me and make me want to create beauty and peace in my home.

Unfortunately, between post-vacation fatigue and the Georgia heat and humidity, dragging out all those pictures of magazine-perfect rooms just made me feel... READ MORE 


I made this!

which means you can too

Our youngest boy turned three last week and as he is going through a phase of intense watermelon-loving, when he saw this cake (on the cover of Woman’s Day!) he asked if he could have that for his birthday. I flipped through the magazine, studied the recipe and decided I could probably come up with something in the remote vacinity of perhaps looking like this. Maybe?

And voila! It worked! My sister... READ MORE

Faith & Family on the Road

Help us Spread the Word!

I love going to conferences. This past weekend I was blessed to travel with Associate Editor, Lynn Wehner, to the Boston Catholic Women’s Conference (doesn’t our display and table look great?).

I love conferences because all I have to do is show the beauty of the print magazine and it speaks for itself.

Women flip through the magazine and ask, “Why have I never seen this before? This is exactly what... READ MORE
