It's Real Simple

I am impressed everytime I read something from Real Simple--great information, uncomplicated, and easy to read.

This how-to for a stress free dinner party caught my eye---and the ideas are really good--like using brown craft paper for placemats, using odd stationery as place cards and the fork tines as card holders, and homemade wine tags. Wish I'd thought of that!

Also, how about dinner party seating strategies. Good stuff to know and think about.

And the table manners refresher course is good for even the old hands among us.

These articles are in their Life and Soul section. Have I said that I really like this magazine!

I think my girls might get a subscription for Mother's Day!
