It Does A Body Good

Today's Wonder of the World is...Milk!


This picture looks like heaven to me. A nice cold glass of milk, a petit beurre cookie and just a lick of nutella.
Oops. Did I just admit I have an occasional spoon of nutella? Don't tell anyone.

We're big milk drinkers at our house. Except for Ben, but I won't over-analyze that. I suppose I should be grateful considering the way that boy guzzles orange juice. Milk is pricey these days.

Of course, some get their milk for free.

I always feel for the mommy cows, having nursed three children myself.
(Don't worry. I won't go any farther down this road. Although I could.)

Ask any kid...it really is a wonder.

This little guy is trying to figure it out.

And here's a different kind of milk altogether.


I'm also interested in milk packaging.
Would you like a baggie of milk?


Or maybe a big bag?


Or perhaps a box?

We tried to get used to the boxed milk in France. It's wonderfully handy since it requires no refrigeration until you open it, so there's no excuse for running out. But we never could seem to train our taste buds to prefer it. So I made the trek to a grocery that had fresh milk. Still, it was handy to have around in a pinch.
Plus there were fun things to do with the boxes. Just like with milk cartons.

See what these creative folks came up with?
A doll house!


And a regular house! Sort of.


And even a lamp! See it HERE.

So milk gives us nutrients, light, and even shelter! Okay, I might be milking this topic just a little. Ha ha.

Have a Wonder-ful Tuesday! And enjoy the commercial! It made me laugh--and want a cold glass of you know what!
Love, Becky
