I’m behind in blogging this, but this month I was part of the October 2013 issue of Family Fun Magazine. This is such exciting news for us for and I am so happy to be part of it. Not only did I write a little article about our home/family inside (and our creative messes), but I also photographed the images for the article and they chose one of my pictures for the cover! Seriously, it still feels so surreal and I’m so honored to be part of such a great issue.
We took the girls to the grocery store to pick up our copy and to show them that they were on the cover… they thought it was cool for like 10 seconds and then they moved on to the My Little Pony cards they were seeing down the aisle. Go figure! That’s kids for you. If you wanna pick up a copy, I’ve seen them at grocery stores, Michaels, and Barnes & Nobles. I think my mother-in-law cleaned out all of San Antonio, Texas, so you probably won’t find any there.
A little project we did awhile back is also in the October issue of Ladies Home Journal. Feeling very honored to be among other creative individuals on this page.
I’m very thankful for these opportunities and I’m thankful for all of you who take the time to visit here and take notice. If you made your way over here from those magazines, well, it’s nice to “meet” you and I hope you’ll stay awhile! When I started blogging, I never imagined the opportunities that come because of it. I just wanted to join in for the fun and community. I don’t even think of myself as a “blogger.” I’m just a gal, who likes to make things (for and with her kids), and happens to blog about it. It’s been so great so far and really, all of you are a big part of this journey, and I am very, very thankful! Many, many xoxo to all of you!!!
how exciting!! congrats

Our family has subscribed to Family Fun for the last few years. When I received the issue with your feature I was so happy for you. Congratulations on the cover photo!

What an honor! Family Fun was one of my favorite magazines as a kid and remains as one of my favorite resources when I babysit!
wow! Congrats!! That is super exciting. I’m going to pick up a copy myself:)
Congratulations! I kind of think you are the best.
Rubyellen, I noticed you were mentioned in this month’s Martha Stewart Living as well, for your A-frame tent. Congrats!
As someone who works in marketing and publicity, cover = huge deal. Congrats on this accomplishment.
Thanks Anne!

I was at the library with my babe and I saw your girls faces! It was so cool to see them! Good for you guys.

I saw that last week at the library and did a double-take because, as a faithful follower of your blog, I recognized the cuties on the cover. Congrats and job well done!!
congratulations!! you deserved it!!
I’ve been getting Family Fun and my mother-in-law sends me LHJ, so of course I was so excited to see you featured in both of these places! Congrats! How fun that you got to shoot the piece as well!
That is awesome! I love seeing adorable kids in a fun, neat home, but “knowing” the honest Mama behind the scenes who talks about their messes and struggles along with their joys. (Hope that makes sense!) Congratulations!
That’s so cool. Love the photos, your girls look gorgeous. Congratulations too, your passion for what you do shows through,.
GUESS WHAT ELSE??????!!!!
There I am, happily reading my Thanksgiving Martha Stewart mag last night and I see your DIY A-frame tent featured in it!!!! And you were named and credited and I was SO excited, I was like, hey I know her! (tee hee, in the blogging readership sense)
I was very excited! Yay you! You make the most darling things.
Thank you for sharing in the excitement!
SO happy for you! LOVE LOVE your blog:)
Would you believe that your feature in the article is how I found your awesome blog?? I’ve been a fan every since!
Thank you Uhura! I’m so honored that you’ve found your way here and want to stick around!
I went out hunting for the Family Fun magazine, but have been meaning to tell you that I spied your DIY tent in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living – no pictures of cute kiddos, but still you :O) Neato!
Thank you Susan! I need to blog about that one too! I’m so thankful for these opportunities!
Thank you for sharing in the excitement everyone!
