Heidi Klum on staying healthy:

“I cook really healthy dishes for the whole family. I already try now with our kids, to have them understand this from early age so they don’t get to be the next generation of pizza-, mac-and cheese-, and peanut-butter-and jelly-sandwiches-loving kids.”

What did you get on your wedding anniversary? Me, nothing that I couldn’t get on any other days.

In the first few years, Zsolt had always been diligent in buying me a bouquet of flowers as anniversary gift. After a while, he gave up — the poor chap.

And who could blame him,after all it’s a common knowledge that most women are flower sniffers. Isn’t it why they have that saying “say it with flowers”?

For me, though, it’s not necessary to celebrate wedding anniversary. Come on now, aren’t we supposed to celebrate our marriage everyday?

Of course I love getting gifts, but not flowers please. Methinks flowers are the easiest, most useless and predictable gifts.

Choosing a gift for somebody takes time. Many men don’t have the time — nor patience — to do it, so usually they’d just grab some red roses. It works most of the time!

But really, what can you do with flowers besides showing them off to relatives and friends? They’ll wither and die after a few days, and there goes the hubby’s hard-earned cash.

Seriously ladies, do you prefer flowers to — say, D & D books? I’d choose the books anytime!

But that’s just me. The truth is that men keep buying flowers, and women continue sniffing them like there’s no tomorrow.

Anyways, happy sixth anniversary to my husband Zsolt. Thank you for not getting me flowers.

For Mommies 3:06 am

Today Adam is ten months and eight days. He only gained a few grams since last month, but at 10 kg and 82 cm he’s still bigger than other infants in the same age.

His four teeth appeared exactly on the same day a few weeks ago. I thought brushing his teeth would be a difficult task. It turned out that he loves getting them brushed.

Besides finger toothbrush, I also use Spiffies twice daily. He simply can’t get enough of them.

If you can’t get toothwipes, you could make you own. Just wet a small clean cloth with luke warm water. Wrap it around your index finger, and it’s ready to use. Not sure whether the baby will like it as much though. I’ve never tried this myself.

However, dental hygiene is important. Maybe I’m a bit paranoid about this, but you can never be too careful.

I know as mothers we have like never ending tasks to do. Well, who said raising a kid was a part time job? For that reason, I’ve seen many mommies forgot to pay extra attention to their children’s dental care.

I hope I’m not one.

Not only decayed teeth will mar the baby’s smile and give him unpromising breath, they may affect the growth of the permanent teeth.

Guys always seemed to complain about girls’ preference for bad guys. Is it true? Take a look at this pie chart that Zsolt tipped me off.

Actually, I prefer a wizard.
