Happy Friday: Magazine Time

Sent from reader, Alyssa:

Thanks to all the free magazine subscriptions we have amassed from following your Hip2save blog, my 2-year-old daughter is able to partake in “magazine time” whereby she sits with me on the sofa and “reads” magazines – her perennial favorite being Martha Stewart Living. We discuss various colors, imitate facial expressions, and compare page numbers while perusing our magazines side by side. Consequently, she has learned numerous sight words and has the ability to read numbers well past one-hundred. She also has developed a penchant for obsessive mail-checking and squeals with delight when we receive yet another free issue via snail mail.

These magazines provide hours of entertainment from airplane construction with loose-leaf reorder inserts to label making with individual letters cut from old issues and pasted onto boxes…truly the free gift that keeps giving! Thanks for all you do! 😉

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀
