Things I Hate Monday


Well, this week, I thought I'd share some things I naturally don't like, and a couple of ways to turn them into fun, good things!

1. Laundry. Doesn't this look familiar?


Solution 1:
Get this laundry lamp, so even if you can't be bothered to put the clothes away, it'll look like you meant to leave them out.
(Yes, even your racy undies, apparently!)


Solution 2:
Keep a stash of treats on the washing machine which you only get to eat if you do a load of laundry.



2. Ironing. Yes, one shirt isn't so bad, but I put it off and put it off until monster towers form.


Solution 1:
Round up some friends, buy rainbow-coloured Spandex suits, and iron on the go.
(I call the red one!)


Solution 2:
Download the New Yorker podcasts from iTunes (free!) and listen to a story while you iron.
It's like nap time... but things get done!


3. Sick people. Yep, Justin's been down with the flu this week, and it can be less than lovely.

sniffle sniffle
cough
ahhhh-choo
snifffffffle

Solution 1:
Wear a flu mask around the house, and decorate it like this stylish chappy in Mexico.


Solution 2:
Make him hot honey and lemon drinks, and since they're so yummy, make one for yourself, too!


Have a nice Monday!

Things I Heart Wednesday

I'm sort of loving these red red doggie rainboots... but don't they look like they're just made out of cut up juggling balls?
Bella would have these off (and chewed to pieces) in about three seconds flat!


I've been making a lot of soup for lunch lately, and the best is definitely cabbage soup, made from my friend Loreal's recipe, with chicken and sausage.
Yes, even my husband, the Texan, likes it!
He says the cabbage soaks up all the chicken flavour... so it doesn't really count as cabbage!
Pair it with buttery white bread... mmmm.


And, I'm enjoying the work of Sebastian Schonheit, a funky designer who takes knitting to the next level! Those needles must be, what, six feet long?


Nap time!


Happy happy happy
