Who says you can't wear Birkenstocks during Winter?! Come rain, snow or icy sleet, my husband always wears his Birkenstocks. As you can see in the picture: if it's snowing he just puts some sandwich bags around his Birkenstocks to keep his feet nice and dry. And it seems like he has become kind of...
It's one of those things I dread the most: my washing machine breaking down. Because with five teenagers in the house, there's always a lot of laundry waiting to get done. And if I so much as slack off for óne day, that laundry immediately will start to grow, and grow and grow. Until it...
