OMG, the Jonas Brothers
July 1, 2009
This months Good Housekeeping magazine.
No, I didn’t buy it because I wanted to read about the Jonas brothers. Though I do wonder now what is the one parenting rule their mother will never break. And more importantly, have I broken it? I am not sure I have any hardfast parenting rules left that I haven’t broken. But my children are all still alive, healthy, and relatively scar free, so I suppose that’s ok.
Waaaaaaayyyyyyy in the back of the magazine, where the shopping guide and low budget advertising is located, is this:
Seeing your writing in print feels different somehow than seeing it online. It feels more real. More special.

July 1st, 2009 at 8:32 amwow, congratulations!!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:35 amyay…I get GH…look forward to reading you article…congrats!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:38 amI first found your blog, which I now read everyday, in a magazine.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:40 amCongrats!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:41 amCongratulations!!
That is fantastic. I will have to pick up a copy while at the grocery this morning.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:43 amwow, congrats! I’ve been a lurker for a couple of years now. LOVE your blog.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:49 amI read that! And wondered if it was you! 3.5 kids and mountains of laundry prevented me from further investigation, but good to know my hunch was right.
Love it.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:54 amOk, that is so cool! Congratulations! Seeing your work printed in a major magazine is exciting. How wonderful for you! Enjoy the moment and go out and buy lots of copies to send to your family. LOL!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:58 amHey, I picked up this magazine two days ago while waiting for my car to get an oil change. You were officially represented at Goodyear. Really enjoyed the article. Have you gotten a basket to put on Miles’ bike yet?;)
July 1st, 2009 at 9:06 amQuick i have my keys and vera purse in hand and am running to the store Thank you for sharing this with us
congrats on the article
July 1st, 2009 at 9:06 amCongrats! That’s awesome!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:07 amChris, congrats on your “real” print placement. I also go with the theory that my children survived realitively damage free so I couldn’t have been that bad of a mother.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:08 amCongratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:13 amWow. The Jonas Brothers AND Notes from the Trenches. Everyone will be happy in our house.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:17 amArgh - now I’m going to have to go buy the magazine - and I really don’t like the Jonas brothers… Congrats!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:17 amCongratulations! I’ve got a dentist appointment this week, so now I’ll have something to read while I wait! (No offense, but I’m not actually buying Good Housekeeping… I don’t own a house to “keep” yet!)
July 1st, 2009 at 9:19 amCongratulations! I am going out to buy one today!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:20 amI know we have told you this for years, but you should really write a book. You are a terrific writer!
awwww, how exciting. congratulations.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:23 amThat’s terrific! Good for you! YAY!!!!!!! (I also originally found your blog in a magazine…hmm…I think it was Parenting.) You’re the best! Way to go!!!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:23 amVery cool!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:34 amHow’d I miss THAT?! Good housekeeping was responsible for introducing me to your blog in the first place, a year or so ago. Yours was the first blog I’d ever read, and a wonderful introduction into blogworld. Congratulations on being in print..again!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:35 amHey, I read that article and didn’t even realize it was you! Congrats!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:41 amThats quite an accomplishment - Congrats!!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:46 amBravo! That is a great achievement.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:48 amthat is so AWESOME!!
I’m going to get the magazine now. Your writing is always so real and funny. I enjoy your blog tremendously!!
Keep up the good work momma!!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:49 amThat’s awesome — congratulations!!! I’ll be sure to pick up GH next time I’m at the store. And my girls will be thrilled because the Jonas Brothers are on the cover. Heck — they’ll probably think the magazine is for them.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:57 amWent and grabbed my copy and there you are on page 173! Love your blog, great goodreads in print! However, my cooler would have a bottle of wine tucked in between the children’s snacks…… great reads!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:00 amI saw that last week at the nail salon and meant to come and congratulate you, but alas, life got in the way! So cool!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:03 amCongrats. I’m not sure WHY I get Good Housekeeping delivered but this month I was very happy that I do. I always love your writing and this was no exception.
July 1st, 2009 at 10:09 amCongratulations!!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:11 amSo AWESOME!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:14 amI did a double-take when I saw your photo, “wait a minute, I know her!” It was a great article and look forward to seeing more!

July 1st, 2009 at 11:04 amHey, I found your blog thru GH, you wrote something about taking the trash out. I thought it was very funny and I’ve been reading (your blog) ever since.
July 1st, 2009 at 11:05 amI also originally found you by reading your article on gardening with kids in a magazine. Congrats! GH has such a huge circulation, yay, now even more people will get to read your fantastic writing.
July 1st, 2009 at 11:10 amYay! That is fantastic! Enjoy
July 1st, 2009 at 11:13 amOMG, that’s wonderful! Congratulations!

July 1st, 2009 at 11:35 amCongrats, Chris!!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 pmI was so pleased to see you in Good Housekeeping again. I discovered your blog through GH the first time you were featured. I think you may have MADE IT!!!!!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 12:39 pmWow! Very impressive. I actually have that magazine, as my mother brought it over when she last visited, and I had thumbed through it and didn’t see much to interest me, but that’s because I didn’t see your article! Thanks for telling us it’s in there–I will be sure to find it and read it tonight. Can’t wait!
July 1st, 2009 at 12:42 pmCool - I can’t wait for mine to arrive.
Congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:01 pmAwwwww, congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pmCongratulations! Feels good, dunnit??
July 1st, 2009 at 1:14 pmOh my god!!! That’s YOU!!! Lookit you, girl.
I hope you are still floating on cloud 9!!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:16 pmI just picked up that magazine yesterday at the library so I will have to check it out!! Congrats!!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:18 pmCongratulations! That’s wonderful.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:30 pmI read it already! I wondered if you would mention it here. You must have written it last summer, though, since you don’t live in that “historic house” anymore. I loved the daydream of riding through town with baguettes in the basket, and old men waving and saying “Bonjour!” ROFL I can totally see you in France doing that. Me, I’d be a dumpy farmwife in Scotland with Wellies on LOL. (Honestly, I would love that!) Love the bike.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:35 pmCongratulations
July 1st, 2009 at 1:46 pmWay to go! Congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:46 pmWonderful — I’m going to get my copy today!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:50 pmI just got my first subscription issue to GH and was so happy to see your picture/article! It was like seeing an old friend.
Congratulations, Chris! Awesome article, too.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:55 pmCongrats! Read it when my magazine came in the mail. Good job! Felt like I knew someone famous!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:06 pmCongrats.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:06 pmWOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats!
You ROCK!

July 1st, 2009 at 2:07 pmHow cool are you??? Congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:13 pmI received my copy of the magazine a couple of weeks ago. I always do a quick cover-to-cover scan before I place the magazine in the “to be read” basket, and noticed your article. I felt like I was reading something written by an old friend (who I don’t know at all and have never met)! Congratulations!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:22 pmWow - nice job!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:34 pmYAY!!! Congrats Chris that’s awesome.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:36 pmThat is so Awesome!!! I have to buy it now just because of your article.. must read :o)
July 1st, 2009 at 2:44 pmCongrats that so exciting!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:46 pmVery impressive! Congratulations!!
July 1st, 2009 at 3:14 pmThis is so awesome! Congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 3:29 pmCongrats, you hit the big time!! I am running out to get a copy!
July 1st, 2009 at 3:58 pmHappy Canada Day from Calgary!
Congrats! That’s awesome!
July 1st, 2009 at 4:28 pmCongratulations! I was just reading this magazine in the doctors office the other day, but I didn’t get far enough to find you….
July 1st, 2009 at 5:10 pmSo COOL! Congratulations. Now I’m going to have to go buy that issue!
July 1st, 2009 at 5:23 pmCongratulations. And to think, we knew you when…
July 1st, 2009 at 5:23 pmPlease don’t let this go to your head and leave us. OK?
That’s outstanding! I’m so excited for you. And I know what you mean about seeing it in print. When I see my furniture in print, I get cocky. It’s short lived though. I normally move quickly into doing or saying something stupid and I’m once again me, covered in sawdust, just hoping for one more print article.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:41 pmI’m also waiting for your book, too. :)(No pressure, of course!)
July 1st, 2009 at 5:56 pmomg, Congratulations! Jonas Brothers, whatever. I’m talking about Chris Jordan! woo-hoo!
July 1st, 2009 at 6:01 pmCongrats on the mag!
But what I really want to know is what’s the one parenting rule she’ll never break???
July 1st, 2009 at 6:42 pmGot the magazine today, and was reading it while sitting at the airport waiting to put my children on the plane to go see their dad. My youngest son looked over as I was reading your article and say, “hey, it’s Miles’ mom”! HA we really aren’t people with names…. we are just “Miles’ mom, or like me….”Christopher’s mom”. I had to chuckle out loud. Congrats, and I love the article, as I knew I would.

July 1st, 2009 at 7:16 pmCongrats! That’s so exciting! I’ll be sure to go buy it so I can read the article.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:30 pmCONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:47 pmCongratulations, thats awesome!I must confess I want to know what the one parenting rule she’ll never break is though;)
July 1st, 2009 at 9:09 pmI saw it! I saw it! Just today, as a matter of fact! Congrats!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:16 pmCongrats! Now I have to go buy it!
BTW, this is how I found you-and ALL THINGS BLOGGY!- in the first place. From your first one a few years ago.
Yea again!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:26 pmI subscribe to this magazine but I am a few months behind in reading it. I will get that issue out now and read your article. Congrats!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:07 pmGreat news, Chris. Now I’ve gotta go get a copy just because it’s you!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:29 pmThat’s awesome! Congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 10:34 pmCool! Does GH have an online site? Ooops! That would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it? Kidding–Congratulations!
July 1st, 2009 at 11:34 pmwonderful, wonderful and wonderful.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:45 amWhat, no link to an online version? Eh, probably what Ginnie said, above.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:14 pmYAY CHRIS!! congrats!
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:19 pmOh, I laughed so hard when I opened my mailbox and saw the Jonas Brothers staring at me. Yeesh. I haven’t gotten to the end of the magazine yet, but I’m gonna go read it right now. Congrats!
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:11 pmI saw this and thought it was awesome. I was excited for you and I only know you through your blog. Congrats.
July 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 pmHooray, you’re IN PRINT! Congratulations! It does feel different, doesn’t it? In a good, “Hey I am really special” kinda way.
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:15 amI think that’s how I found your site to begin with. I just seen the article in Good Housekeeping this weekend! yea you
July 5th, 2009 at 3:35 pmI’m commenting to partly to say Congratulations, but mostly because I couldn’t stand it that your comments were at 99 instead of nice comfy 100. My work here is done.
July 7th, 2009 at 9:48 pmChris!!! That is wonderful! Congratulations. I’m going to get a copy the next time I’m out!
July 7th, 2009 at 10:11 pmSo funny! I bought the magazine b/c my 6 year old wanted it b/c the Jo Bros were on it, when I happened to be bored and looking at it I found your article!! Really neat!! Congrats!
