Why I read Better Homes and Gardens in secret...

It certainly isn't a secret anymore. Oh, well.

I bought the Better Homes and Gardens pink cookbook for breast cancer awareness. Inside was a complimentary year subscription to the Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I delightfully took advantage of a free thing. At least, that was my public response. Secretly I was thrilled. I love BH&G. I love the earthy decor and yummy recipes.

I know the houses in the magazine don't look like this every day. A massive staff has come through with toothbrushes and bleach. The linens are probably brand new or at least had just been fetched from the dry cleaner's.

I just love the fantasy that someday, all that clean beauty is somehow attainable. It's not. One can dream.
