Okay... it is actually NOT good to be a hoarder. I guess I should rephrase and say it's good to be a saver. When I was expecting Hope, Martha Stewart was still making an awesome magazine called "Martha Stewart Baby". Guess who SAVED all of her issues? ;) Yes, my mother constantly called me a pack rat. In a lot of ways that is true, but in this case it works perfectly because I'm already planning all of the little projects I'm doing for Pepper (new baby's nickname... don't tell Hope- she has revoked the name and claimed it for her new Blythe).
I'm actually not as good a 'saver' as I used to be. I'm missing an issue, which means I probably lent it to a friend and never got it back. I'm also terrific at that. ;) Have a lovely Tuesday! xo Katie
that magazine looks too cute... who says saving everything is a bad thing?
ReplyDeleteyay! for finding helpful magazines! :)
ReplyDeletei was talking the other day and i have always loved the name pepper and i filed it away for a future baby name. :)

cute! i'm so so excited for you katie!!
ReplyDeleteI seriously have those too... when I was pregnant with my son I bought every issue! Martha kids was a great magazine too! :) (yup I have all of those as well!)
ReplyDeletep.s. Pepper is the CUTEST name ever!
Pepper is a super cute name! I hope you find your missing magazine!! I'm also really good at lending stuff to friends and never getting it back... sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really nice magazine, I love the colors!! I, too, am a saver. Especially of magazines. I had a huge problem with it in the past and I am happy to say I have found a way to conquer it the only way I can!! (I scan everything in the magazine that I love before recycling it!)
ReplyDeleteI have those too. I also liked the Martha Steward Kids magazines. I don't know why they stopped publishing them :( They were awesome!! Tons of awesome crafts and organizing ideas. So are you pregnant? Or did I miss something!! Congrats if you are :)
ReplyDeleteyep i am a pack rat also....cuz i have every issue of MS baby and MS kids!
ReplyDeleteI've got a collection of about seven of those, including the very first one. I don't EVER plan on getting rid of them - even when I'm too old to be having babies. Those magazines are treasures. SO many lovely ideas.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am very much about paring down and simplifying my life to the extreme, but magazines and fabric/crafty/baking things are my kryptonite.
