I wrote this post at the request of the good people of The Clymb, but all thoughts and opinions are mine. I own one bathing suit, and one tankini. That's not a lot. Because I read somewhere the average American woman owns at least four bathing suits. Tankini's are easier to wear I usually prefer the...
Breaking News. A local woman tried to get creative for the school dinner. Parents were expected to bring all kinds of great culinary treats to the school table. Unfortunately this local woman wasn't very good at 'cooking stuff', as she explained. Officials are looking into the matter. Are parents expected to do too much? The...
After living in a fish bowl for more than two years, I'm still living in a fish bowl. Thanks to the fact we still haven't got any curtains, our whole life is permanently on display. But at least I've got one curtain rod now! Rooms with a view When we moved to the country two...
After plouging my way through the first three seasons, I had finally found a good reason to keep watching Game of Thrones: Jaime Lannister.

Did you know that the colour of your dinner plates influences how much you eat? Let me give you an example! Apparently the more your food contrasts with your plate, the less you will eat. Simply because the contrast makes you more aware of your food. So do not eat spaghetti carbonara from a white...
I like to make my own hamburgers. I'm not a 'make-it-from-scratch' kind of person, but a hamburger? That I can do! I mix ground beef with an egg and some bread crumbs. I add some salt, and then I mush it all together. Once that's done I start claying meatballs. And then I squash the...
While I have to do all the boring gardening stuff, like pickings weeds, my husband does the vegetable garden. Growing vegetables gets him even more excited than a Star Trek episode! It's still kind of cold outside, but he couldn't wait to start sowing his seeds. So he created his own little hothouse, using some...
I have about 7 blogs. I know that's a lot. But they're all about different topics and meant for different kinds of people. Are niche blogs going extinct?
