I like Family Fun, and Your Big Backyard for the kids.
Somehow I got a subscription to Martha Stewart Living (I think with dh's frequent flyer points), and I enjoy looking at that, though they do seem to pile up .

My favourite, actually its my dds. Its better homes and Gardens. She likes The recipes and the sewing ideas.
She even had her Grandad putting up a swing sort of designed from the magazine article.

Family Fun is a favorite here - though my subscription lapsed. I'm waiting for that big once a year discount that was posted here last year. I also like Martha Stewart Living, This Old House, mater et magistra, and This Rock.

Mary-

Wait no more
Family Fun

Use the code MOMMYSAV15 for an extra 15% off. That makes it under $4
to renew. I just renewed mine last week. It takes about 8 weeks to get your first issue.

I really enjoy Cooking Light it has some great healthy recipes and sections on healthy living.

For my kids I've really enjoyed for dd 10: Spider, for dd 6: Lady Bug, for dss: Baby Bug and Cobblestone for everyone (since we're studying American History). They like getting something with their names on it too .

I have to admit I recently subscribed to Mater et Magistra and really enjoy it for home schooling articles.

Smithsonian is my fav. It's the only magazine we get that I make sure NOT to let our subscription lapse.

The only one we currently receive is National Geographic. I finally decided to let my subscription to Mothering lapse - I had a very love/hate relationship with that one. My mom gives me her old Better Homes and Gardens, and those are fun to flip through occasionally. I like getting magazines like that second-hand, because then I don't feel obligated to read everything, I can just laugh at the Catalog Living-style photos, drool over a recipe or two, and toss it!

The magazine I read cover to cover is Mater et Magistra (which my copy came today, so I'm very happy!).

I have Martha Stewart Living, but I'm not finding it as attractive and interesting any more.

I also have Herb Quarterly which I enjoy, and Cooks Illustrated. The latter isn't always fun to read because I'm weeding out what CAN I use in my kitchen due to allergies.

I tried Family Fun last year and did not end up reading or using it much, so I didn't renew.

My boys have Ranger Rick and Animal Baby and they love, love, love them. Ranger Rick we've had for years and I think my ds has memorized the issues.

Whole Living (used to be Body and Soul, but it's a Martha Stewart product so I think they changed the name recently to sound more like * a Martha Stewart product*).

As well as some of the aforementioned.....

Ready Made
Mother Earth News
Southern Living
Do It Yourself (Love this magazine)
The Old Schoolhouse

we get more than this, I recycle them or toss them every single month to keep them from piling up.
I started asking for magazine subscriptions for Christmas years ago to avoid inappropriate and/or unwanted gifts for our family. It has worked out well for us. Plus, I can usually grace another family or two when they send the renew your subscription and get a free subscription for a friend notice.

I gave up on Victoria, because the new edition seemed so different...lots of selling, focus on STUFF, not necessarily ideas. It was just a general feel I had.

And Faith and Family I used to love, but I think it has gone down, too. Less substance more feel-good stuff.

Oh, yes!!! We love this one, too. Just recently let our subscription lapse--it's hard to keep up with subscriptions when you move as much as we do!LOL! Thanks for the reminder!
