Only if I have an unexpected need for a tampon.
Otherwise, who cares what they keep in there? Is my curiosity worth violating another person's privacy in their own home?
I agree on dish sponges: yuck! They smell bad and I don't fancy using something germ infested to clean with. Solution? Having a big drawer full of cloths to wash dishes with that I throw in the lau...
I like how she's moving her hands the way adults use their hands when they're talking, and how she looks just a little annoyed when Dad (I'm assuming) stops paying attention to her to laugh. She's ...
My family has a cordless phone. When we are out in the yard doing yard work we bring it outside with us and leave it on the porch if we think we might be missing important calls. Otherwise, we have...
I don't like the western theme period, so luckily I will never have to face this conundrum! Hooray!
I actually live in the "West" anyway, well, Northern BC, so dead animals on walls, e...
We had two: an encyclopedic dictionary, and then a "kids dictionary" with colour pictures and easy language. They both got a LOT of love from my brother and I. :) I'm a history grad, and he's going...

I hate it. I've never seen a family with a TV in the kitchen that doesn't have it on all the time, distracting people from *gasp* talking to one another at the table. Kitchens for my family are an ...
Once my husband puked in the bed (gross, I know!) so I slept on the couch that night, and got up reeeeeal early to make him clean it. I have emetophobia so I had to get out of there!
Actually, one of my favourites is in the pic! "Never Let me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. :) Although I have the sombre literary cover with the fishing boat on it.
I have a (not so) secret a...
I'm from New Brunswick.
Nothing says home to me like my Mother's split pea and ham soup, thick and hot and filling.

I remember my letters from Santa through the Canada post. It was definitely one of the best parts of Christmas.
