Using Magazines for Home Inspiration

By Leave a Comment

Growing up I always loved magazines, I would first get sports magazine, then fashion magazines, and then women’s magazines. I loved flipping through the issues at the beginning to the month. I would go through it first and look at the articles and pictures and mark what I wanted to look at more deeply. I loved the beautiful photos and the easy recipes.

One of my long time favorite magazines is Better Homes & Gardens. I have a subscription to it for years. I was so happy that they easily transferred my subscription when I moved, and I did not miss an issue.

I loved the recipes and home tips. It always had wonderful home organization tips and still does.

When I moved to Louisiana, I got a subscription to Southern Living. Southern Living does classic recipes like no one else. If someone wanted to be introduced to southern cooking, I would just hand them a copy. The recipes are written with great instructions and they’re easy to follow.

I recently got the October issue and the Holiday Crafts one. I found a bunch of decorating ideas that uses adorable pumpkins. I have never been good at pumpkin displays but I am hoping to do better. They also had a bunch of fall recipes. These pumpkins are going to help me with my Halloween display. I am so excited to try it all out.  They also have projects that you can do with the kids.

Better Homes and Gardens Magazine had a great article about Bucket List Ideas For Fall. It had wonderful ideas that most people can go out and do. This list fit most any budget, too. I liked the idea of going to an apple orchard and picking apples.

Purchasing the magazines at the checkout rack is very expensive. Buying them at full retail price would make buying one a real luxury. I don’t like to spend full price on magazines, so I look for great deals. I found a great deal at Magazine.Store

I hope you’ll find these magazines or other magazines inspiring. Don’t wait sign up to get your copy of Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Living or any other of your favorite magazines so you can get their holiday ideas.

 

 

Sweet Suite 2021-The Biggest Toy Event

By Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I received a swag box of products for attending The Toy Insider Sweet Suite event. All opinions expressed here are my own.

I have been attending Sweet Suite since its inception. It is a big event in the summer when we come together to learn about the hottest new toys. This year again it was a virtual event, but it did not take away from the fun. It featured over fifty of the top toy companies in the industry.

The event itself was set up as a virtual event. You got to walk around and enter different zoom rooms and chat with the companies. Some of the companies did live demos, and some showed us how to play the games. Many of the companies sent out invitations before the event so that you could arrange special times to meet with the team.

I already had a few brands in mind that I had to visit. They are my favorite and always have some of the best new toys of the season.

It is always a pleasure to get a chance to hear Laurie Schacht, Chief Toy Officer of The Toy Insider talk about trends and the state of the toy industry.

They were some incredible releases this year that included:

  • PAW Patrol: the Movie? Spin Master‘s new playset is its tallest one yet and will bring the movie to life!
  • The Pokémon Company International as they demo new 25th anniversary-themed Pokémon Trading Card Game products for the first time ever!
  • Joined Jazwares for some “pre-westoric” fun as they demo the new Dino Ranch toy line, inspired by the popular animated children’s series!
  • Witnessed the first-ever unveiling of a cutting-edge kit from Make It Real that takes your manis and pedis to a whole new level.
  • Embarked on an educational adventure with LeapFrog as they show you their brand-new LeapLand Adventures learning video game!

Thanks again to the Toy Insider for inviting me to be part of this virtual trade show to meet new brands, rekindle relationship with current ones. It is going to be a great holiday season and I can’t wait to see everyone in person next year.
