You're from Where?: Family Fun

Family Fun

I used to hate the magazine Family Fun when I had little kids because it always made me feel like I was failing as a mother. I didn't do all the fun things in the pictures, therefore I sucked. Now that my kids are older, I've rediscovered it. I love this magazine! The December issue has 25 crafts you can do with your kids. Last night we made 3-d snowflakes. It was so fun! We also got enough craft stuff to do several of the other projects. Even though I miss having babies, I love having kids old enough to do this kind of stuff.
