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...
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...
Look mommy! With hands! I've had about three years worth of weekly sewing lessons in my life. But somehow they never quite stuck. Everything I made, rarely made it out of my closet. But lately I've been so much out of fashion I can't even find any jersey skirts with little flowers on them in...
'I'm in a hurry to get things done, I rush and rush until life's no one. All I gotta do is live and die, but I'm in a hurry and don't know why.' This song keeps playing in my head. Because I feel rushed all the time. And just like Alabama 'I don't know why'....

'What happened to Whooga Uggs?' That's what I've been googling for the last few weeks. But it seems like no one is providing any answers. In the past I've been very, very happy with my ugg boots from the Whooga Uggs brand. They were nice and warm, and very comfortable. And best of all, they...
I found this adorable little hat. It's a hair ornament, and comes with a handy little clip. It only cost me 1 dollar and 18 cents. At first I wanted to wear it myself. But there's something sad about a forty year old mom wearing a jaunty little red hat in her hair. So I...
Last week my husband did the grocery shopping. And he came home with some very special toilet paper he bought across the border! In Germany of all places. It's covered with happy reindeer on skates. But what I love most about it is the name of the brand: 'Happy End'. I like the pun! What...
'We're going for a nice, family walk!' I told the kids. And I felt a bit sweaty while delivering my message. Because I know my kids... 'It will be great fun!!!' I added against my better judgement. But sure enough, the kids started a revolt, saying they didn't want to go. 'If you're not coming,...
