My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.

Ha Ha, I am a nanny to two beautiful little girls. I was hired by my parents friends 4 years ago and I too have been told by some guy friends of mine who are 10 years older than myself that they would love to hire me, although their wife says their nanny must be fat and ugly.<BR><BR>Not to toot my own horn, but I saw your post and laughed as soon as I read it.<BR><BR>Good Luck with your delivery!
I think the more appropriate question is what husband is smart enough to convince his wife that hiring a nanny that looks like is a good idea????
That’s just inviting your husband to have nanny fantasies!!!
I would definitely hire her…and so would any woman who was secure enough in her own skin. Pregnancy weight is only an issue when you don’t work out and do something about it….women who actually take care of themselves and take care of their husbands in the same manner they before getting married wouldn’t be threatened by a beautiful woman.
I like your site!! I invite you to take a tour on my jewelry website, and if should more information is required. http://www.or-jewellery.com
Heh, I would hire a nanny like her! When I come home from work, the last thing I want to look at is my wife’s muffin top or her dry cracked feet! In fact, I would probably run off WITH the nanny!
So this picture and the question that is imposed is implying that a man/husband can’t help himself around a young, beautiful nanny. What a positive message to be sending to nannies, moms/wives, husbands! Good job at perpetuating increased acceptance of females needing to fulfill some 1920s role of guardian of their husband’s penis! This is absolutely ridiculous!
I’d like to think I wouldn’t screw with that nanny, but temptation is powerful - I wouldn’t want it strutting around my house every day, that’s for sure. And it has zero to do with my wife’s level of security. She could be the most secure woman on this planet and some men would still bang the nanny chick. A woman’s security or lack of it does not even figure into the equation, because women do not control men (well, the decent ones anyway).
Haha, I like what Anonymous said: “That’s just inviting your husband to have nanny fantasies!!! ” ...very true!
Only blind wives would hire a nanny like her.
I don’t think any wife will hire a nanny who looks likes this, and u know why, lol!
He’s just gross. Disgusting. Dirty and over-rated.
Actually I wouldn’t like it if the nanny of my kids was fat and ugly and mad at the entire world for her looks. I would prefer a sweet good-looking girl who feels confident about herself and can teach kids self-respect.
