When it comes to housework, let's face it, there's just nothing sexy about it ... or least not usually. Many of us fantasize about a day in which some magical housework fairy appears to end the day-to-day drudgery, but those fantasies have never looked as good as the reality of half-dressed, hard-bodied men doing the work instead. Oh yes, it's true, and you can see for yourself.

Make sure you have a fan close by, because these videos of Hot Dads Doing Chores by CafeMom Studios are HOT. Let's start with this delicious dad who wants to do your laundry. Brace yourselves.

Finding a creative way to hang art is always a challenge. Nothing highlights your style or livens up a room more than nicely displayed prints or photos, however.

On the latest episode of Make It Fabulous, Andee shows us how to turn simple pant hangers into fancy mounts for pictures. A viewer asked for suggestions about how to hang vintage prints she'd inherited from her grandmother in her laundry room, and Andee came up with this idea, which plays off the laundry room theme using the hangers, spray paint, and glitter that looks a bit like bubbles. Check out the video below to see how she transforms them!

If there's one thing most cats absolutely hate (in fact I tend to be of the opinion that there are quite a large number of things most cats absolutely hate, but never mind), if there's just one thing most cats truly loathe and detest above all other detestable things to be loathed, it would have to be ... getting wet. Oh, the humiliation! The indignity! Hell hath no fury like a kitty cat bathed (or rained upon, or sprayed, or splashed, or whatever). And make no mistake: Cats hold a hell of a grudge, too.

Anyway, considering how much most cats react to even the idea of a 30-second bath, I can't begin to imagine how upset Natasha, a Siberian Forest Cat living in Oakland, California, must have been after she went through an entire 35-minute cycle in a washing machine. I can't begin to imagine how she survived, either, but she did!

Let me guess. Giving the house a deep clean is somewhere near the top of your list of New Year's resolutions. Welcome to the club, now how are you going to handle all the stains you're going to come across?

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy! No really, lemon does wonders around the house. And there's a lot more of that kind of easy to fix stain clean-up where that come from. Just get a load of this list:

Why do you clean your house? Go ahead, think about it. It's to keep your family healthy and safe, right? Well, it should be, anyway. But a horrifying new report on household cleaners that are loaded with toxic chemicals is sending us all back to the drawing board to develop a new cleaning routine today. That is, those of us who don't want to make our families SICKER when we clean the house.

The Environmental Working Group, the same non-profit watchdog that helps us keep an eye on the toxins in our fruits and veggies, took a look at the labels of the 2,000-some cleaners we use in our bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms every week. More than half contained chemicals known to harm the lungs, and nearly a quarter had chemicals that cause asthma in otherwise healthy adults. But the fact that they found scary stuff isn't surprising ... it's where they found it that really creeped me out.

Remember that classic episode of Seinfeld where Jerry caught his dry cleaner wearing his clothes in between cleanings? (Love that show.) I think it's safe to say that most of us have wondered if that sort of thing ever really goes on after we drop off our favorite items of clothing, but one customer got a surprise much nastier than a stain or foul smell after picking up his shirts and suits.

When a man named Alex looked at his receipt after grabbing his dry cleaning, he noticed the name "Asshole Alex" at the top. His story was told on The Consumerist, which asked the question, "Were they commenting on his behavior as a customer, or was it some kind of terrible phonetic mistake?"

If anyone knows just how unpredictable the day-to-day life of a mom can be, it's celeb mom of three Jennifer Garner -- and that's why she's helping teach parents to learn to appreciate the "messiness" in our lives -- and not be afraid of a few grass & mud stains.

Jennifer teamed up with Frigidaire for an event at Griffith Park in Los Angeles on Wednesday -- and the main goal of the day was to get the kids at the park as dirty as possible. Yes, you heard me right -- she actually encouraged the kids to get plenty of stains on their clothes in order to make doing their laundry an even more daunting task. I had the pleasure of speaking with her via phone about the event, and I couldn't help but be very intrigued by the secret she shared for cutting down on time spent in the laundry room.

The following is a guest post from our sponsor, P&G HYTTY.

As a mom, I’m sure you know all too well the need to take on many different roles or “hats” to ensure your family has everything they need day in and day out.
