I have a magazine dilemma as well..frankly without Domino or Cottage Living these days, I've not found anything remotely close to being as great! I would vote for Real Simple or Martha because while everything Martha does is beautiful, anything I try to re-create from there does not look anything like the pictures!! The recipes are quite challenging too. Keep it Simple!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005051588580633522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027267895238090426.post-47992032593414031402009-06-03T22:07:46.688-05:002009-06-03T22:07:46.688-05:00Becky BH hit the nail on th periodical head.

They've started to adjust to the economy down turn but we'll see how long that lasts. <br />Marthas still awesome but the ones I can't without are House Beautiful.

Then when Martha Stewart started having legal troubles, Living lost some ads. Real Simple became the new venue for those lost ads and IMO ended up choking Real Simple. So I began to read Living and now love it. It still has fewer ads and unique ideas, and I enjoy the variety on MS website.Becky BHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027267895238090426.post-83468931471335837732009-05-27T21:43:41.391-05:002009-05-27T21:43:41.391-05:00Real Simple is one of my subscriptions that I won'...Real Simple is one of my subscriptions that I won't let lapse.

And I tend to get a little stressed if I get behind on my mag reading, so I've tried to simplify with just one or two at a time.
