That’s why Lars particularly enjoys writing for myHOMEBOOK about topics that bring order to the home. Since he loves to snoop around for professional reasons anyway, he gets to the bottom of things thoroughly. Where do the names of everyday objects come from? Or what does that small symbol on a machine — the one everyone always overlooks — actually mean? Lars shares these insights with our readers, who will hopefully go through life a little bit wiser afterward.
