My Daily Checklist – Now With a Printable Version

August 25, 2010 By Dana White | 57 Comments

Oh, the Daily Checklist! In the deslobification process I've been going through this past year, it's been my very best friend.

It wasn't that I … [Read more...]

Ten Things I’m NOT Giving Away on My First Blogiversary!

August 23, 2010 By Dana White | 21 Comments

Thanks for all of your well-wishes yesterday for my first year of blogging. While yesterday I completed a full year, today's officially my first Blogiversary! I remember when I first started blogging, seeing other bloggers say that and thinking of my own as a not-truly-achievable-way-off-in-the-future event. But it's HERE! Before you get your … [Read more...]

Dreams of Organization

August 23, 2010 By Dana White | 9 Comments

I woke up this morning with renewed resolve.  I've been at this deslobification/blogging thing for one full year as of today. While life is never truly "normal" (and I'm thankful for that), the school year is as normal as we get around here.  So, it's now or never.  Time to start making some more real progress on this "journey to an orderly … [Read more...]

It’s New (School) Year’s Eve!

August 22, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

School starts tomorrow morning. I'm doing my best to adjust my mindset. I'm sure I'll blather on and on about it for several days, but for today, in the spirit of what all mothers know is the true time for resolutions, I thought I'd share a few that I've been thinking about. Look cuter. While I just can't embrace the Flylady thing of being … [Read more...]

HOW Did I Let This Happen . . . Again?

August 20, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I don't feel like writing a post tomorrow. Yes, I know that tomorrow hasn't happened yet, but I already feel the donwannas coming on. And they're coming on strong. I always go into a funk when it's time for school to start, and going to Meet the Teacher Night tonight made it all too real. So, tomorrow . . . I want to enjoy my kids. I don't … [Read more...]

Resisting the Allure of (Unneeded) School Supplies

August 19, 2010 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Tonight, we meet the boys' teachers. As my 8yo says, "Meet the Teacher Night is just a cruel reminder that school is about to start." So, today we've been busy labeling and packing school supplies into backpacks. We also made one last trip to the store for the last few items we'd missed. School supplies are a struggle for me. There is just … [Read more...]

How I Learned That It’s Okay to Use Less Soap in the Dishwasher

August 18, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

It seems like lately I've mentioned my nightly-running-of-the-dishwasher habit quite a bit. That's probably because it's the only thing I've been truly consistent on lately. Thankfully, it's also the one that makes the biggest difference. Anyway, I've learned that you don't have to fill the soap-thingamajig completely full. See, I'm a … [Read more...]
