Magazines

I love magazines.  There is no question about it.  Now that I have kiddos I love them even more.  It's easy to flip through and read an article in a short amount of time.  It's really hard for me to read books during the day because I always have to stop every few sentences or paragraphs and that to me is not enjoyable.  So magazines it is! 

I have become a huge fan of Magazines.com  (and no, I am not getting anything by writing this post, I was just excited at the great deals I got today on their magazines and had accidentally bought a subscription for one I already had.).  I have always been pretty skeptical of random sites but I have used this one a few times and have really liked it.  The thing I think I love the most is if you accidentally buy a subscription twice (like I have been known to do) they automatically just renew it instead of sending you the magazine twice.  Woo-hoo!  Awesome for mom's like me who forget sometimes just what and when they had subscribed to.  :)

The only draw back for me on getting all these lovely magazines is they tend to pile up.  But I love to flip through old ones all the time so I kind of like keeping them around for a while.  While we were getting ready to move right before the summer I took over 200 old magazines to the local library and donated them.  They loved it and have a little table right at the front for people to pick them up on their way out.  I love that someone else will also get some use from them too.  So no more guilt on getting the magazines.  They get to go to a great new home after they are finished here and I am not filling the landfills.  Woo-hoo!  Sounds like a win-win to me.  Or am I just trying to convince myself of this so I can continue to feed my habit?  ;)
