Daddy’s Little Girl
Just in time for Father’s Day!
Want to know who your daughters will end up marrying? Well, if they have a good relationship with their father, it may very well be someone who closely resembles the most important man in their lives.
A new study has just announced that women who were “daddy’s girls” most likely would be attracted to men who really do look like their father! Yes, this was a real scientific study. And a very interesting one at that. The scientists actually asked women about their relationships with their own fathers. Then showed them photos of men who looked like dear old dad and those who didn’t. The women with strong, positive ties to their dads, stated that they found the similar looking men more attractive.
This may be the ultimate tribute to our fathers 
Insurance for “Cold Feet”
This isn’t really “mommy” related, but I thought this article was funny. Believe it or not, you can now buy wedding insurance to cover a runaway bride (or groom for that matter).
I guess it makes sense these days. Weddings are getting increasingly expensive and almost everything requires quite a large deposit. Wedding insurance has been available for some time now - covering things such as weather issues and travel mishaps, but making sure you get your money back if someone backs out is new.
To me it’s almost like a pre-nup, you want to protect yourself, but you also want to have full faith that the person who is supposed to be meeting you at the end of the aisle is actually going to be there for the wedding day (and the rest of your life Smile).
Would any of you moms out there have considered this - or maybe you might consider it for your kids’ weddings, they do grow up fast!
A Safer Way To Clean?
Whether they are safer or not, “green” cleaning products are starting to show up on more and more store shelves. These products are becoming mainstream in supermarkets and chain stores such as Target. This has actually been on my mind lately after seeing some of the questions regarding safe cleaning that our users have posted on MothersClick.
According to this interesting article an increasing number of moms are turning to more natural cleaning products. They are hearing the message that some of the toxic ingredients in the cleaners we’ve all used for years could be harmful to our kids. Obviously we all know how dangerous these can potentially be, as we’d never allow our kids to get near the bottles.
But do they work? The article states that many do work just as well. And it also points out that this trend is forcing the larger manufacturers, such as Johnson Wax who makes Windex, to come up with their own alternative products.
Whether or not these newer, greener, products are actually safer for our families, homes or the environment has yet to be proven. Although it seems many believe it just makes sense to use these over the more traditional cleaners.
