Filling Up the Freezer Again

January 29, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I had big plans this week. I was totally psyched to do some grocery shopping with a real budget again. And it so happened to coincide with Kroger's Mega Sale. Things were working out perfectly, right? Wrong. So what happened? Puke happened. Lots of it, with multiple kids. Oh well. That's the story of a mom's life right? Don't make … [Read more...]

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

January 29, 2010 By Dana White | 19 Comments

Paper plates used to be a must-have item in our house. Hubby would get nervous when we ran out. If he ever found what looked like it might be a grocery list lying around, he would jot down "paper plates, please." They were necessary for two reasons. First was as a last resort. When every single plate in the house was dirty and piled in the … [Read more...]

But Slobs are So Much Fun . . . .

January 28, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I visited Lifeasmom.com's Birthday Cake Round-up. Why? Because I love love love themed kid parties and making the cakes to go along with them. This is the ladybug cake from my daughter's 3rd birthday. I used my big glass measuring thingy from Pampered Chef because I remembered hearing at a party that you could use it to bake a cake. I … [Read more...]

A "Great" Cleaning Tip from a Slob

January 27, 2010 By Dana White | 17 Comments

The Best Way to Clean this Play-Doh "Doolally": First, thank the mother of the child who gave it to your child. Then, allow your child to enjoy the "moment" and play with it to her heart's content. At clean up time, remove this tool and the other 15 parts of the toy and place them in a cabinet that looks something like this: Pile … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist – Sick Day

January 27, 2010 By Dana White | Leave a Comment

As a mom, there's no such things as concrete plans. Normal cold/flu season sickness probabilities multiplied by 4 (you plus 3 kids), multiplied by all of the kids whom your kids come in contact with, who may or may not grasp the concepts of mouth-covering and hand-washing, and you learn very quickly to clarify all commitments with the phrase … [Read more...]

January 26, 2010 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Why painful, you ask? I cleaned out four, yes FOUR, kitchen drawers last night and today, and EVERY SINGLE one of them had tacks spilled in them. LOTS of tacks. Really? Is this some cruel joke I play on myself while sleepwalking? I have quite a few pictures I could show you. About 10 in fact. But I'm only going to show three since … [Read more...]
