Focus Check Friday – Squeezing Every Last Moment Out of Summer

July 30, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I think I've made my points with the kids. The house has to be cleaned to be livable. Someone has to clean it as we have no resident fairies. Cleaning is hard work. As soon as you clean it, it gets dirty and needs to be cleaned again. Mom usually does all of this on her own so the least we can do is contribute while we're out of … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist and a Boys’ Room Decluttering Report

July 29, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

The majority of my hair is still attached.  It has not been completely pulled out. My head, while it came dangerously close, did not explode. For these two reasons, I'm calling today a success. Today I: Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen and outer edges of wood floors in dining room and living room. Picked up random items from floor … [Read more...]

Relieved by Rules

July 28, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

As a mother, I am a leader. Sometimes I lead by force. Sometimes I lead by encouragement. But always, whether I like it or not . . . I lead by example. We have had a new addition to our home in the last month. My son, who is 8, bought a DS. If you don’t know what that is (like I didn’t a year ago), it’s a hand-held video game system. I … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist – An Abbreviated Version

July 27, 2010 By Dana White | 4 Comments

My daily checklist posts have been random to non-existent lately. It's not that I'm not doing anything.  I'm just not doing everything.  In the midst of summer fun, one surface cleared or one item of trash thrown away feels like a huge accomplishment, so my brain is censoring any nagging guilt over all the things I'm not doing. Of course, … [Read more...]

Menu Plan Monday – Asian Salad and a Request for Reader Help

July 26, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

As much as I don't feel like making a menu plan on Mondays, it's amazing how much of a difference a plan makes. The last thing I want to do when I come home from the pool is make decisions about what to cook. First, before I share our plan, I need your help. Instead of steak, hubby made fish last Saturday night, and we had a feast. I offered to … [Read more...]

Facing the Fear of the Known

July 25, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

Yesterday was one of those days when I was in the mood to clean. Those don't happen often, but I used to depend on them. I would try, but get incredibly frustrated, and give up. And usually I would end up feeling hopeless. Things are better now. While no room yesterday was party-ready, no room (except the always-struggling master bedroom) was … [Read more...]
