Can you find us? Well, it's only two of us--not all of us.And yes, the kids are in mid-chewy-bite, and Owen really is wearing a green shirt and orange pants. Together.
And he's wearing huge black shades.
And Cora's looking totally and completely surprised, staring at the candy in her hand that she thought was an egg.
And that oh-so-handsome man in the back? My hottie husband. Okay, so you can only see his legs.
I'm going to pretend that I really haven't inundated the Family Fun editors' with inboxes dozens and dozens of pitches for my own articles and ideas, and I'm just going to be really, really happy that finally--finally!--we're in one of my most favorite magazines ever.
Remember when I totally scored big and tricked Maddy, Owen, and Cora with my rendition of Family Fun's Fakin' and Eggs? I called the post April Fools' Trick: Eggs and Bacon, and the cool folks at Family Fun caught up with me on Twitter and saw the post themselves.
Okay, so Owen's not yet 5 years old (but will be soon. . . ), and I really wish they would have had www.teachmama.com as my blog url, but really, I don't care. I'm just doing a little jig of joy that my kiddos landed on the pages of my Family Fun, even if it wasn't one of my own ideas--it was another great one of theirs.
Woo-hoo! Happy, Happy Day!
You made the big time! Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo totally awesome! Congrats on the debut -- what periodical should we conquer next? First it was the Washington Post (your awesome blog highlight/shout out and my peeps diorama, then we both made it "big" with the mailbox features on Family Fun....
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that the reason they ignore your article idea pitches (and mine -- ahem) is because it's easier and cheaper for them to just peruse our blogs and steal everything we put out there and put it on their own magazine with their in-house staff.
Yay!!!! I got my issue in the mail yesterday but didn't flip through it until this morning in bed. Imagine my surprise and happiness at seeing TeachMama in there!
