Matt Damon's Miami Beach mansion looks like SO MUCH FUN. Seriously, could I love this guy any more? Well, maybe if he handed over the keys to his pad!

Listed at $20 million dollars (a wee bit over my budget), this mansion has the most amazing views. You just have to read on to see the incredible place for yourself. All together now: O-- M-- G!

Here's a weird confession: I really love to clean my house. I don't always have time to do so, but when I do, I find it incredibly satisfying to see dirt and dust and obliterate them. I feel triumph when I remove smudges on walls, and when I make my sinks sparkle, I'm giddy. There's a certain Zen to it that grounds me and gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Over the years, I've accumulated some tips that may not be traditional, but they work. And they're much more fun than just a bunch of chemicals in spray bottles. Here are five of my favorite weird ways to clean some common household messes.

In 3, 2, 1 ...So I know we're not supposed to laugh at stuff like this because it's serious and people could get hurt and all that, but dang, if this isn't the funniest recall ever, I don't know what would be.

Exploding toilets! Told you it was the best recall of all time. Here's what you need to know about the detonating commodes:

When you're overtired and stressed and truly need a little rest and relaxation, there's really no better place to unwind and be pampered than at a luxurious spa. Restorative body treatments, soothing massages, and invigorating rain showers are pretty much the perfect way to recharge your battery and come out feeling new and refreshed.

You know that strong, headache-inducing smell when you hang a new vinyl shower curtain? It's not just unpleasant. Some believe it may actually be toxic.

That smell is chemicals from the shower curtain that are being released into the air you breathe. Combine that with hot, steamy water and harsh cleaners and it could be emitting chemicals that are potentially harmful for a long time to come.

While no studies point to actual risks from off-gassing vinyl, there are safer choices if you're bothered by or worried about the smell. Check out this bonus episode of MomEd: Green Living for tips.
