Not doing well

December 22, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I'm very frustrated with myself. I haven't been doing my daily tasks. A few here and there, but I've been rationalizing not doing them all for the last few busy weeks. Yesterday I didn't write anything, mostly to avoid writing that I hadn't done anything. Here we are in the midst of Christmas vacation. Everyone is home and I love it. We spent … [Read more...]

Home Again!

December 21, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I had to look to see when my last post was. Last week was crazy, and I definitely didn't do as well at just keeping up with the daily tasks as I wanted to do. Oh well. Life continues. Friday was a half day of school, but the morning included a two-hour sing-a-long at the school, so really I only had one hour between that and pick up time to … [Read more...]

Clutter-Free Christmas Craft

December 17, 2009 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Kids love crafts. I'm always amazed at the pride that beams out of them after making something. Anything.   I love my kids. I love to see my kids' crafts. There are some that are displayed year after year. But I get totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of construction paper and glitter that enters my home at this time of … [Read more...]

Christmas Party Prep

December 17, 2009 By Dana White | 1 Comment

I love the idea of organizing a second grade class Christmas party. I even love the finished product, and like-a-lot the actual party itself. But all the in-between of coming up with ideas and getting everything together and depending on people I really don't know to bring certain very necessary items makes me a little crazy.Today I made my bed.I … [Read more...]

My Reason for Doing This

December 15, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I took my daughter to the doctor today for what was thankfully an easily diagnosed and treated ear infection. While there, I ran into a high school friend I haven't seen in years. She asked if I had heard about another friend. A friend who I also haven't seen in a long time, but whose Christmas cards I always look forward to. She died suddenly a … [Read more...]

Rethinking Christmas Gifts

December 15, 2009 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Isn't this a constant struggle every year? As my kids grow, I am working to get better at this gift-buying thing. And as I work to streamline my home, I am much more aware of bringing "junk" into the house. Therefore, I tried really hard to not buy anything just because it looked cool. That momentary gasp of excitement is not worth the total … [Read more...]

I did SOMEthing.

December 15, 2009 By Dana White | 1 Comment

Today was filled from beginning to end with Christmas shopping. The kids were farmed out and I got almost all of it done. But after two hours round trip of driving to get to decent shopping, and arriving home just in time to go immediately to basketball practice, I didn't feel like doing anything. At all.So my checklist for today is:Made … [Read more...]

Weekly non-negotiable

December 14, 2009 By Dana White | 1 Comment

Here's my non-negotiable for the week.Do the tasks I already have as non-negotiables.We're now in the final stretch of Christmas prep/parties/general craziness. It is so easy for me to completely ignore our home in the midst of craziness. So, my goal for the week isn't anything lofty. I'm not going to kid myself about adding some new task. … [Read more...]

Will I Always Have this Struggle?

December 12, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I get so irritated with myself sometimes. How many times have I posted about the wonders of consistency in my daily tasks? The great feeling that I get when I do them, even though I didn't feel like it? The importance of placing my family high enough on the priority list that I see a reason to keep a clean house even when no visitors are coming? … [Read more...]
