YELLOW!


Our assignment this week for Mrs. Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday's Rainbow Summer School, is to find and post something YELLOW! This vintage 1943 Parents' Magazine is from a 1940's pictorial scrapbook I recently discovered.

Looks like many of the topics are still the same after 60 years:
  • On rearing children from crib to college
  • The Family Home
  • Feeding the Family
  • Family Fashions
  • Family Fun
  • What Kind of Discipline in the Home?
  • The Boy-Girl Question?

Happy Rainbow Days!

  8. HOORAY, HOORAY! I'm here, I'm here! Darn, I was so excited I forgot to look at the graphic.

    What a fun subject! I love how things change but always stay the same!

    You could republish that now with just a few language changes and it would be spot on!

    Thanks for linking Coralie!

    I am so happy to be able to see you here.

    I will try coming over from the Linky when I get to your number, too, to see if I can get in that way as well!

    A+

  15. OOHHH....I just found you on Alphabet Thursday and I love your blog. I am grabbing your button. Love vintage ads and clip art too. I have some old magazines and it cracks me up what they would write about...particularly the articles for women.

  16. The really important issues haven't changed at all - just the values unfortunately! *sigh* :(

  17. We just seem to go 'round and 'round trying to figure out the same things, generation after generation.....parenting issues don't really change that much, do they?
