My Vanity or my Daily Tasks?

September 30, 2009 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I'm feeling pretty cute today. I've never been one to feign modesty, and I am generally pretty honest. Honestly, I look good right now. The average person might not see me and think so, but my hair is fixed with my favorite scarf (it turned up in some random place last week), my legs are very recently shaved, I have on makeup, earrings, and … [Read more...]

Lots of ways to use my pre-cooked ground beef!

September 30, 2009 By Dana White | 15 Comments

If you've read any of my menu plans, you know that I pre-cook my ground beef. It totally works for me! I sometimes wonder why I ever didn't do this. For us, as a busy family, it means I can have dinner on the table within ten minutes. That's faster than I could run out for fast food, or bake a frozen pizza. And these are "real" dinners. I … [Read more...]

Go Ahead, Open the Door!

September 29, 2009 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I've been working on this room, honestly, for years. I get it cleaned up for some event when I want people to be able to get to the bathroom in the back corner, and then before I know it, it is a disaster again. So what's different this time? I hope it's me that's different. In this process I'm going through to change my slobbish ways, I'm doing … [Read more...]

What’s the Point?

September 29, 2009 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I promise, this post does have a point. And it is about getting my house in order.I've been doing a new Tae-bo video for the last two weeks. It's a kicker. As in . . . behind-kicker. (My seven year old has been reading some of my posts lately and we don't use the other "b" word.)After my first child was born, I lost a lot of weight doing the … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist – First day of sparkly bathrooms

September 28, 2009 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Today is the first day of my new non-negotiable task of wiping the bathroom counters and toilets everyday. It . . . wasn't . . . that . . . bad. The main encouragement I got was that in the kids' bathroom and the half bath, it took less than a minute. This is because I have been doing something in these bathrooms for the last month. I haven't … [Read more...]

Finally making progress?

September 28, 2009 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I'm continuing to work in the office this week. I cleared off the daybed today, and that made the entire room look so much better. I had cleared major chaos out of the back corner, and cleaned off the desk, but for some reason, clearing off the daybed makes a much bigger impact. I had to point out the other two things to my husband last week, but … [Read more...]

Menu Plan Monday – Total Necessity

September 28, 2009 By Dana White | 4 Comments

This is my fourth time to participate in Menu Plan Monday. Since keeping my home organized is my biggest struggle, having my menu planned out before the week begins has been huge for me. It's one more thing that is under control for the week. If you're a mom, have you ever felt that your life is spent entirely in the kitchen? I can remember when … [Read more...]
