  • I love these, Penelope. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • Megan

    I love all of these, especially the second one. So true. My kids hate me at least once a day.

  • Awesome quotes…I could read them over and over!

  • Kelly

    The one about handicapping your children by spoiling them is so true. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen friends that were spoiled by their parents have a rude awakening when they were out on their own. Granted, most of the time their parents ended up bailing them out but it was still shocking and their parents couldn’t save them from everything life threw at them.

    Great quotes!

This Wedding Dress Looks Good Enough To Eat

As long as the guests don’t eat all of it. It solves the problem of having to store the wedding dress afterwards, anyway.

  • Heather @ Girl Gone Mom

    That is amazing! How does one do a first dance in that dress?

  • Um, wow! that’s so strange! I wonder if this is the bride or someone hired to be the cake?

  • Kelly

    Oh my gosh! Can you imagine how hard it was to make the inner layers like that?! What a unique cake!

  • Louise

    That’s really weird!

  • Candace

    Ok that is just bizarre, what if she has to go to the bathroom?

  • Faythe @ GrammyMouseTails

    hummm, I have a major sweet tooth, but I think I would draw the line at wearing a cake. The person cutting it, looks like she carved out a notch for her baby belly (LOL)

  • Shop with Me Mama (Kim)

    LOL! Yes, don’t eat it all, you mind not like it much if you delve in too far! LMAO!

  • Bobbie

    Cleaver! What’s inside the cake? Looks like candy?

  • Very cool, but also quite weird lol

  • Marianna

    That is a huge cake! And definitely a unique dress. 😉

  • Why does it look like there’s corn relish inside?

  • That is strange to me. IDK if I would be comfortable having people dig the side of me out, too eat

  • Anne - Mommy Has to Work

    wow- that’s different!

  • Hank

    Eh ok. But why?

  • Is it ok that I am kind of grossed out by this? 😉

  • Leilani

    Holy Crap. I wonder how long she had to stand there while they made the cake and while people ate it.

  • Lisa @ Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

    it’s…..interesting. it really isn’t that pretty. and I’m thinking i wouldn’t eat something I cut off of someone. but it’s unique

  • Rhea

    That’s just…weird. Is that a real woman? What is she has to pee??

  • Donna

    My first thought was how would she go to the bathroom, too. It would be impossible to go to the bathroom.

  • I don’t know about that. It’s kinda strange.

  • Oh WOW! That is outrageous! However, it might be fun and tasty for the groom! LOL!

  • Lorie Shewbridge

    I’ve seen this before and for the life of me cannot figure out the flavor… it kind of looks gross to me. The frosting looks good and I agree with Michelle, it might be fun for the groom. =)

  • Carolyn G

    That is so cool!

  • HilLesha

    That’s a bit out there, haha! The cake sort of looks like fruitcake, but the frosting looks good!

  • Hmmm….weird I would say, but unique.

  • Patricia

    Nice Collection !!

  • I could definitely use those. With us really watching our food intake, this would make it tons easier.

  • Hey Jen

    I like that! I need to check those out!

  • Annie @ mama dweeb

    I want the water infuser! Making my water taste like fresh fruit would be such a treat, and that little gadget keeps the water from getting fruit particles in there. What a handy thing. I need the pasta portion control thing too. That is something I overeat on way too often.

    Thanks for the helpful pictures!

  • Kelly

    Wow what great tools! I love the water infuser – such a neat gadget. I’ve never had strawberry water but it sounds really good. I do love cucumber water though too!

  • monique

    Love that picture of you in the kitchen. You look so cute! The strawberry-flavored water is a great idea!

  • Donna

    The water infuser looks awesome… on my must get list.

  • Louise

    I love the pasta keeper. What great products.

  • Tired Mom Tésa

    Those look like great products and make being healthier so much easier! I’ll be checking them out!

Flirting 101: How To Flirt

The art of flirting is fun, and anyone can do it. Here are tips on ways to flirt with Marilyn Monroe showing us how to flirt like an expert (warning: use wisely…ie on your husband if you are married, or on single, available men if you are not): * Face your object, and align your […]

  • I love this list. Marilyn Monroe definitely knew how to flirt!

  • Oh boy, I don’t do any of that when I flirt. I need to step up my game. LOL

  • Kimberly

    I don’t think people REALLY know of the flirt these days compared to decades ago when things were more subtle and fun. These days it’s more like “Do you want to hook up with me?”. Sigh…

  • Kelly

    Great tips for flirting and also in the art of subtlety. I have a vanilla perfume my husband loves – it smells like vanilla frosting!

  • I definitely don’t know how to flirt. I’ve been married for far too long 😉

  • Sheila

    I need all the help I can get! LOL

  • Courtney

    Thankfully I don’t need to flirt already found a great catch 🙂 Cute post!

  • Zippy Sandler

    How timely. I went to an event this weekend that was all about dating (with Infiniti cars and The Bachelor Guy). He was talking about flirting and dating (yes, even for those of us who are married). Thanks…

  • Ditto . .. I USED to have skills but they disappeared a loooooooong time ago. 😉

  • Flirting Tips

    She was amazing. She knew just what men wanted in so many ways.

  • oh gosh. I am totally not a good person to flirt, lol

  • sibongile

    I like this very much, helping

  • Jenn

    I’ve never flirted a day in my life. Will have to practice on Hubs and pray he doesn’t laugh. 😉

  • Mellisa

    I think she was definitely queen of flirting.

  • I have never been a good flirt, haha. 🙂

  • Tee hee, thanks for the refresher. I should buy something new in red.

  • That’s an art I never quite mastered. Fortunately, I still got my man. 😉

  • These are some great tips that I need to be doing to keep things spicy.

Harry Potter Books Will Finally Be Available As eBooks!

I read the first Harry Potter book after all the books had been published. I didn’t get the delirium everyone felt over a series of children’s books, so felt no rush to read them, even though I’m a huge bookworm and read practically everything. I think I was trying to make a point (not sure […]

  • Hey Jen

    That’s awesome. I adore the HP series! I haven’t checked out Pottermore yet though.

  • Kelly

    I listened to the entire HP series from audio books and LOVED them! I only ended up reading the last couple but the audio books were awesome for me. The guy that narrates had such a great voice for it!

  • Wohoo! I know there will be many happy fans out there.

  • That is SO great for traveling!

  • Kasandria Reasoner

    I was wondering what Pottermore was going to be!
    Kas

  • Tammy

    Ah yes if they are going to be sold on the sony e-book store it will come as an e-pub which means anyone that has a device that can read a drm book in e-pub (meaning pretty much all the mainstream e-readers except the Kindle).

    I’ve never been a Harry Potter fan, and my family is probably one of the only ones left where none of us have read the books or seen the movies.
