What I Do When No One Else Is Home

Oh there are many things I love about our home addition. Too many to list here. You’ll have to trust me, it’s a great thing and worth every penny of our over-extended west coast mortgage.

But there is one particularly wonderful item we installed that I must talk about today.

If you’ve ever stayed in a first class hotel or had the extreme fortune to live in Europe, you too may have experienced the joys of the bidet.

True, it looks strange to the uninitiated or overly imaginative


but it is so simple and obviously necessary. I can’t believe it hasn’t caught on in the good ol’ USA. So what is a bidet, you ask? This might help dissolve the mystery.


I know, my boys thought it was for playing in as well.

When we planned for it, I thought it would be great for those scary poopy diaper blowouts but sadly, the little one was already three by the time we finished building. (Construction is fun, really.) Still, it helps a lot with similar mommy moments.

But here is what I really like to do with it.

Heaven.

Did I mention that the water is hot? Yeah, baby…

In Japan they have a bidet feature built into the toilet.. so you don't need two!

Is that why the Japanese always smell so fresh and clean? ;)
