Summary: Sidebar Fonts Tiny
Comment: I've read Family Circle on and off my whole life. On when I had the money or a coupon to get a few cents off at the grocery store. Last year, I subscribed to it again.

The February issue had some little decorating ideas which didn't really appeal to me. Too contemporary. An orange and gray office isn't my cuppa working enviornment.

I learned to size a flat screen TV to the distance away from it you'll be sitting and not to have it high up on a wall or over the fireplace. I'd always seen them over fireplaces on home shows and longed for this. Our mantle is high, and we only have standard 8' ceilings, so it wouldn't be proportioned right anyhow. Not that we'll probably ever get an LCD TV. We never had a big console TV in a cabinet. Never had a big old projection TV, and only got cable about ten years ago because we moved to where we couldn't pick up anything with an attic antenna. This is all about DH and what he feels is important enough to spend money on. Last year, when Miss 14 and I realized American Idol would be on the same time as The Biggest Looser, we snuck out and got a DVR. I had first changed our landline phone service from the traditonal to a bundle with the cable provider. The monthly savings covered the DVR. My husband says it's the best thing he ever did.

There was also an interesting article on why teens don't want hugs. Not that it told me anything I didn't know, but it was fun to read.

The fonts in the sidebars were a challenge to my myopic eyes on the treadmill. For this reason, I'm giving Family Circle Four Stars.

Summary: Happily Surprised!
Comment: I was skeptical of this magazine before I received the first issue because of the other magazines (of the same genre) I've tried before. I was happily surprised by how interesting this one is. The recipes are excellent! There are tidbits of information on variety of relevant women's issues specifically: health, fitness, and parenting. Also there are very easy, creative, inexpensive decorating tips! And unlike many other similar magazines it's not flooded with ads.

Summary: Great magazine!
Comment: If you like to cook, this magazine has so many great recipes. I first saw it at my doctor's office and since I wanted to photocopy so many things, I figured it was best if I bought a subscription--it was well worth it.
