Personalized Ornaments – Fun and Easy

December 11, 2009 By Dana White | 15 Comments

I love these. I generally don't consider myself a crafty person, but these make me feel crafty. I learned how to make them about 5 years ago, and now it's a definite tradition. I know that many families give an ornament to each child every year. These have become our version of that, and they cost truly pennies apiece! The kids can't wait to see … [Read more...]

I Live for Compliments

December 10, 2009 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I'll admit it. I love compliments. In fact, when someone says something nice about me, it takes much maturity and self-control to not ask them to repeat themselves and elaborate further.My mom was here last night and today while I took my oldest in for his surgery. We had a great time, and at one point, she mentioned how much different my house is. … [Read more...]

My One Year Decluttering Anniversary

December 9, 2009 By Dana White | 12 Comments

I started this blog a few months ago, in August. But last fall (over a year ago now), I got really serious. I was incredibly frustrated, consistently at the verge of tears, and was truly considering buying a shovel and renting a u-haul.I couldn't handle the clutter anymore. I had so much stuff that any attempt at organization was temporary because … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist – Grrrr

December 9, 2009 By Dana White | 2 Comments

I really despise my new rule about doing the daily checklist post before the more "fun for me" one. But while I despise it, it totally works. I'm so much more motivated to do my tasks when I know it means that I get to blog.Today I:Made bed.Emptied dishwasher.Cleaned kitchen.Swept kitchen.Changed over load of laundry (after two days of working on … [Read more...]

Hubby’s Very Own Tackle!!!

December 8, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

On Saturday, hubby decided he wanted his walk-in closet to also be walk-innable. I'm pretty sure he was inspired by my own much-better closet and our much nicer master bedroom. When I said I just might take a picture for the blog, he put a few things back, saying he wanted full credit. He's so cute. I know that the difference may not look huge … [Read more...]

Making a list . . . Checking It?

December 7, 2009 By Dana White | 17 Comments

So . . . if you make a list, you're supposed to check it?Huh.I started writing this post and realized I hadn't checked my list since first thing this morning. I went and checked it. I'm probably not going to complete it, but I definitely accomplished more than I otherwise would have today if I didn't have it.I think that making a list (keep in mind … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist

December 7, 2009 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Today I:Made bed.Hung up or put in laundry the clothes in the master. (I also employed a little trick of my mom's that finally makes sense to me. Pajamas that can be worn again get put under the pillow. Doesn't make sense when the bed isn't made or when there's tons of other clothes on the floor so it's pointless to hide one thing.)Emptied … [Read more...]
