I subscribed hoping for more crafts and good recipes. Her food is bland for the most part or has strange ingredients. The crafts have been scarce and either require a great deal of investment or are just "temporary" like place cards. Really who is going to spend six months making every single decoration and place mat for a one evening party? Also the articles on Martha and her family and their awesome homes should be limited to a max of two per year. The frequency of "how great am I??!" articles comes across as simultaneously pompous and approval needy - kind of a feat really. Finally, kids playrooms should be designed so kids can play in them... Martha's poor granddaughter can't reach any of the toys in the one recently featured. Makes the mother look more concerned about the room staying neat than entertaining the child.
