My Obsession with Gadgets

November 30, 2009 By Dana White | 12 Comments

Three guesses. I'll give you a hint. It isn't a platypus puppet. But I do think it would work better as that. I bought this thing at a garage sale, new in the package, about three years ago. Maybe longer. I took it out of the package this morning. And now I'll either throw it away or let my kids use it for a . . . platypus puppet. It's a … [Read more...]

My New Non-Negotiable for the Week

November 29, 2009 By Dana White | 10 Comments

I didn't add a new non-negotiable last week. Since I didn't get back until Monday evening, it really never occurred to me, and things were so off schedule last week that it was a bit pointless anyway. I've managed to not let the house become a total sty this week. Just a half-way sty. I've tried to be "aware" of the clutter and the need to clean … [Read more...]

Slowly, oh so slowly

November 29, 2009 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I've worked more in the master today. I'm trying to plow through even though it seems like it will never end. I try to make it my philosophy to focus on thing by thing instead of the big picture when the big picture starts to overwhelm me. I have no idea if this is the right thing to do, since I am the antithesis of an organizational/cleaning … [Read more...]

Progress . . . and reality

November 28, 2009 By Dana White | 7 Comments

If you read this blog because you're a little messy and "hate clutter" you probably won't understand. But if you're a true slob, you will. Do you know that point when you start to work on a REALLY bad room and you get about half way done and then it just overwhelms you that you will never find a place for all of this junk? That's where I … [Read more...]

Help . . . I need an excuse!

November 27, 2009 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I would like to find an excuse. But I'm afraid there isn't one.Tonight and tomorrow are off-the-schedule kind of days, and it's weighing heavily on me that I should work on the master bedroom. Our bedroom.Our scary bedroom.Really, our bedroom is more like a storage room right now than a bedroom. A totally chaotic and scary storage room. It's the … [Read more...]

Sage Advice for Young Love

November 27, 2009 By Dana White | 19 Comments

To all of those in that new, starry-eyed, heartrate-increasing, better-than-food stage of new love, you may have been asked the following question by someone who is both wise and well-meaning. Can you see yourself with this person ten years from now? What a wonderful question! And yet it is a little too vague and lacks specifics. Allow me … [Read more...]

5 Minute Memory Makers

November 26, 2009 By Dana White | 15 Comments

One of the big problems with being a slob, and a mom, is that a house out of control can make you feel overwhelmed, and the overwhelmed feeling can keep you from doing the neat little projects that you read about and want to do with your kids. So having the house under better control helps so much in my being willing to tackle a project. But … [Read more...]

My Off-Balance World

November 25, 2009 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I'm off balance in more ways than one. First of all, I still feel the boat moving, and I got off more than two days ago. I'm ready for this equilibrium problem, or whatever it is, to stop.Secondly, and mainly, things are off-balance because they are out of routine. It's a holiday week, and my kids and husband are home for the entire week. Nothing … [Read more...]

Christmas Decorating – OH THE BOXES!!!

November 24, 2009 By Dana White | 11 Comments

Today, we're decorating the house for Christmas. Shhh. I know that we should wait until after we've fully enjoyed Thanksgiving, but if we don't get it done now, there won't be a time to do it. And we're going to my mom's on Thursday anyway. I know. Excuses. Last year, after Christmas, I made an effort to get rid of stuff I didn't use … [Read more...]
