Use Less, Wreck More

Today is Use Less Stuff Day - a time to push back against rampant materialism, reflect on life goals, and really ask ourselves the tough questions.

Like:

Do Snow White and the Dwarves really NEED a helicopter?

I mean, maybe they're Ok with just a monster truck, motorcycle, jeep, Lightning McQueen, and an airplane:

Or if not, Hulk could just throw them really hard.

And while we're cutting back, how many choking hazards do you REALLY need for a one-year-old?

Or for your cupcakes?

And why does Hilary Duff need so many Barbie accessories?

(Hey look, it's the pink boot we all lost when we were six! [No? Just me?])

My point is, why waste so much plastic flotsam when a single, well-placed element can be just as...
uh....

That is, I mean, sometimes it only takes ONE to... er...

Huh.

Well, maybe if we just put our heads together...

Perfect.

Thanks to Mike & Marja, Joyce W., Anony M., Nelly R., Melanie L., Mary V., & Susan S. for showing us how to get a head without paying an arm and a leg.

I realize this is going the opposite direction of "less stuff"... but did you know you can buy a pack of 100 rubber duckies for about $34?

Rubber Duck Assortment

And they're so cute!

Think of the possibilities...

When In Rome...

This week Mackensie's aunt received a birthday cake for the ages.

Her kids asked the baker to write her age in Roman numerals, since we all know nobody can read those anyway and - bonus - it also looks classier.

Instead of oh-so-classy and discreet Roman numerals, though, Mackensie's aunt got this on her cake:

RAMEN NOODLES.

You've gotta appreciate the little noodle pile on top, too. That's a baker who fully commits.

Thanks to Mackensie G. for the soup-er submission. May your next cake be XVIICXE times better than this.

I know what you’re thinking. “I wish there was a ramen noodle baby onesie!” Well wish no more:
