Been around my mom's longer than I have...

Good Housekeeping has been around my mom's home longer than I have!! She has always depended on this magazine for sensible advice and also new recipes.

Now that I am a mother and have my own home, I can understand why she loves this magazine.

Good Housekeeping is chock full of informative articles. From health issues to parenting tips, to the latest product recalls. I always find at least several useful articles in each magazine.

Besides articles, GH offers a nice variety of recipes. The recipes include all the needed nutritional values and caloric counts. I find this easier than trying to guess my way through the ingredients. The recipes use common household ingredients and spices. Although there may be a few unusual ingredients or spices, most are quite common and could be found in any home or local grocer.

Did I say the word Coupons?. GH offers a wide variety of coupons in each issue. Most of the food coupons are less than a .50 cent value though.

GH also offers fictional reading for leisure time. Usually, this is an excerpt from a best seller or popular writer.

GH is very affordable is purchased by subscription. I have had a subscription for as low as $12.00 yearly and as high as $19.99 yearly. I think it must depend on what specials GH running at the time. I found the news stand price to be considerably higher.

GH also has lots of extra ads in each issue. Especially so during the holiday time. I understand that the magazine sells ad space to keep the magazine priced economical, but at times, the amount of ads can be overwhelming.

Still, GH is a family staple in my own home and I dont know if I could approach the holiday's without the magazines wonderful holiday food and advice.
