Vacuuming the Christmas Tree . . . And Other Dos and Don’ts for Storing Christmas Decorations

November 30, 2010 By Dana White | 22 Comments

It would make more sense to talk about storing Christmas decor . . . . after Christmas. Except that by then, I'll have forgotten all the things I grumbled to myself while getting our decorations out of their boxes. Like while I was vacuuming my Christmas tree. 1. DON'T store your Christmas tree in its … [Read more...]

Are We Ready to Use My Favorite Nativity Scene Display Idea?

November 28, 2010 By Dana White | 14 Comments

Years ago, I saw someone use this display idea for their nativity scene. They placed the figurines on top of a large Bible, opened to Luke 2. I loved the idea, immediately re-created it in my own home, and assumed that I would use it every year for the rest of my life, modestly admitting that it was a borrowed idea when others gasped at its … [Read more...]

The Case of the Caramel Corn Larva

November 26, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I don't wear brown shoes very often. In fact, I must not wear them at all.  I didn't even remember that I had some. So while looking through my closet for something to wear with my new brown skirt, I was overly excited to see that I do have brown shoes. So excited that I completely forgot about the news-show-story I saw 10 years ago about … [Read more...]

Thankful For Any Help I Can Get

November 25, 2010 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for every moment that I have with my little family.  For every laugh, every tear, every conversation, every opportunity for a snuggle. The perfect moments, and the imperfect ones. My 4yo daughter decided to clean the bathroom . . . mirror and all . . . with baby wipes. Now I've shown her where the … [Read more...]

Ever Wondered What a Slob Looks Like While Eating Chicken Soup on a Thursday Night?

November 24, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

    There is officially no point to this post, other than that I loved the look on my husband's only-a-little-surprised-because-we've-been-married-for-11-years-and-he-knows-I'm-always-up-to-something face when he came home to me glitzed up and stirring soup. I was headed to a dress rehearsal after supper. I guess it's possible that you … [Read more...]

Making Room for Christmas

November 23, 2010 By Dana White | 1 Comment

I cleaned my house today. I . . . had to . . . clean it. I've been milking the "I'm so busy, I'll get back to this deslobification process soon" excuse until it was completely dry. I remember the joy I felt last year when decorating for Christmas.  It was a joyful experience because there were uncluttered surfaces to decorate for the first time … [Read more...]

My Love of Boxes

November 22, 2010 By Dana White | 13 Comments

I love boxes. Big ones.  Small ones.  Flat ones.  Deep ones. Oh, the possibilities. Therefore, it's very hard for me to throw away boxes. They're just so . . . . useful!!! When you need a box, you need one that is just the right size for the job.  So, it has to be better to keep every box that ever crosses your path, right? But … [Read more...]

My Biggest Slob Fear . . . Or at Least One of Them

November 19, 2010 By Dana White | 10 Comments

My heart pretty much stopped when I glanced at the daybed in my office and saw this little paw sticking out from under a pile. One of my biggest slob-fears is finding something dead in a pile of clutter. Thankfully, this was just one of the feet of the mink stole that was part of my costume for a 1940s era show that I was in last weekend. … [Read more...]

Decorating With Clutter

November 18, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

How did you read the title? Decorating around clutter? Or Using clutter to decorate? I guess the picture could be a little of both.  Notice that the beauty of the single streamer causes one's eye to completely miss the stacked DVDs/VHSes. Mmm-hmmm. Notice that the single streamer is held in place by the stacked and colorful … [Read more...]
