I love flowers, so when I spotted this floral dinner plate at the local thrift store I fell in love. And it only cost me 97 cents! When I got home with my new found love, I gazed at it for some time, and then I started to wonder: 'What material is this plate made...
'I found a beautiful pen Mommy,' my youngest son Pete (9) told me on our way to school.'If you push the button you can change the color of the ink!''Is it yellow?' my son Ot (12) interjected. I could see the wheels of Pete's mind churning, calculating the risks, thinking of what to say. But...
There's nothing I hate more: peeing, and upon standing up realizing the toilet seat was covered in what was probably male urine… With three sons that don't always put the toilet seat up, it's a risky business to sit down on the toilet in our house. Usually I carefully check the toilet seat, but sometimes...
I'm not a fan of commercials, but some commercials are tiny works of art. Or at least they're funny. Like this one, featuring a boy and a girl reenacting a scene from the movie Dirty Dancing. It's all very romantic, but then the boy gets distracted by an advert promising a pair of glasses ánd...

Look at what my fourteen year old daughter made! She went ahead and drew Peter Pan and Wendy from a picture on the computer on some black wrapping paper, cut it out, and put it on her wall. She definitely does not take after me when it comes to creativity!
Once a month my aunt Marie comes in to give my house a thorough cleaning. What can I say? When they handed out domestic skills I was in another line again. This time at MacDonalds ordering a Big Mac. My aunt Marie usually comes in on Monday, so on Friday I'll be running around the...
Act like you weren't just bórn yesterday, but like you also just moved in yesterday. Kitchen?! Where's that? Don't hold your farts. Let them rip! As soon as you spot your wife looking tired, quicky yawn loudly while proclaiming: 'Geez, I'm soooo tired. I'm so glad I can depend on you to pull my weight...
I can't help but feel a little bit envious whenever I visit one of those mom bloggers who are the MacGyvers of the blog world. You know the ones who can make anything, from anything?! I wish I could sew my own curtains, and make cute little dresses from the leftover fabric. And then make...
