Spider Web Snacks — Parenting Magazine Feature

So, I had a super excit­ing thing hap­pen recently that was a rather big deal for me… one of my cre­ations was fea­tured in this month’s Par­ent­ing Mag­a­zine! My name & “Mom Endeav­ors” in print!!! Squ­ueeeee! Months ago, I was con­tacted by a Par­ent­ing Mag­a­zine edi­tor about pos­si­bly includ­ing my spi­der web snacks for a Hal­loween fea­ture. (I’m guess­ing she found them via Pin­ter­est because, as of writ­ing this point, that recipe has been pinned 103,ooo+ times!!! Crazi­ness!) I was super excited to be con­tacted, but hon­estly wasn’t sure I’d make the final edit­ing cut. Imag­ine then my shock & excite­ment when I checked back in with her a cou­ple of weeks ago and she replied with a “thank you” & this page lay­out attached… It was so fun to see. But, then my goal was to get my hands on a copy and actu­ally hold it in my hands. Thanks to mul­ti­ple friends shar­ing their copies with me, we now have a few. After all, how often does one actu­ally get to be IN a mag­a­zine. It’s a pretty cool feel­ing to flip through the pages and see one of my project pho­tos along with my name in it! What’s a lit­tle extra cool is that it ran in both the Par­ent­ing Early Years (page 56) and the Par­ent­ing School Years (page 50) edi­tions!  And, for those who don’t get the mag­a­zine, there’s a fea­ture here on Parenting.com!Per­haps the most amaz­ing thing though about the whole sit­u­a­tion is that I had been blog­ging only 1 month when I posted those spi­der web pret­zels. The pho­tos were all taken with a lit­tle point-and-shoot as it was before I had my “fancy cam­era”. Now, two years later, one of my first lit­tle posts is one of the most pop­u­lar posts on the site, has been pinned over 100,000 times, and is printed in a mag­a­zine with a cir­cu­la­tion over 2 mil­lion! Wow! So, you never know what might hap­pen with some­thing you put out there!!

Thanks for let­ting me share my excite­ment!
