The Missing Skillet

January 11, 2011 By Dana White | 8 Comments

My 7yo wanted to make scrambled eggs for breakfast. I looked in the sink. I looked in the dishwasher.  I looked all over the counters, on the table, EVERYwhere. The skillet was missing.  We've been surviving with only one egg skillet for quite a while now.  And as long as I run the dishwasher every night, I pretty much know that it will be … [Read more...]

I Can Actually Walk Into My Walk-In Closet

January 10, 2011 By Dana White | 9 Comments

I'm thankful that I have a nice, big, walk-in closet. Not that I've been able to walk into it for months now. Or even shut the door. But the bug man is coming again, and I'd really like him to be able to get into my closet.  I'm pretty sure I didn't worry about it last time. And A Bowl Full of Lemons is doing the closet for her … [Read more...]

My End of Year Decluttering Update – Come Link Up

January 10, 2011 By Dana White | 9 Comments

In 2010, Amy over at The Finer Things in Life made a goal to get rid of 730 things in 365 days, and hosted a monthly decluttering linky. I felt like her challenge was made for me.  I loved looking back each month at my decluttering progress, seeing that some months were more productive than others, and having the opportunity to pat myself on … [Read more...]

Menu Plan for a Cold, Cold Week!

January 8, 2011 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I'm having a hard time believing it, but hubby says it's supposed to be extremely cold all next week.  As a person who dresses for yesterday's weather because it never occurs to me to check the forecast, I have to take his word for it. And since I'm going to try to head to the store before it gets crazy cold, I might as well make my menu … [Read more...]

So Thankful for My Perfect Match

January 7, 2011 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I have the perfect match for me. My husband has a strange obsession with "winning" the trash competition in our neighborhood.  He gets a thrill from having huge amounts of trash to put out.  The more there is, the happier he is. And I, as a slob, am only too willing (and able) to oblige. He was feeling particularly triumphant on this day, … [Read more...]

Cleaning with a Bad Attitude . . . is Still Cleaning

January 6, 2011 By Dana White | 28 Comments

Warning:  This post may will contain excessive levels of cynicism, complaining, and irrational thought.  While I wore my fair share of friendship bracelets, and tight-rolled my jeans with flair, I am generally able to resist peer pressure. In fact, when I feel pressured to do something, but haven't had time to decide for myself that it's … [Read more...]

Freeing Myself from the Stress of a Good Thing

January 5, 2011 By Dana White | 15 Comments

I wasn't going to link up to Works for Me Wednesday today. I've been sharing my short-term plans that will hopefully have long-term benefits in 2011 this week, so I didn't feel like I had anything that was proven to share as a tip. But then, I saw that the theme this week is what doesn't work. I can do that.  And I can do that with a post … [Read more...]

I’m Guest Posting over at Mama’s Laundry Talk!

January 5, 2011 By Dana White | Leave a Comment

Just wanted to let you know that Lauren from Mama's Laundry Talk is running a post about my all-in-one-day laundry routine today. If you haven't been over there, you should go check her out.  I liked Lauren from the first time I read her site, and then when I met her in person last summer at the Savvy Blogging Summit, I liked her even more.  She … [Read more...]

Daily vs. Weekly Tasks – When I Just Don’t Have Time for Both

January 4, 2011 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I've been feeling overwhelmed for the majority of this year. This year being . . . . 2011.  Which is less than 4 days old. Anyway, I'm in Haphazard Holiday Recovery Mode.  The house was kept in a far-from-perfect-but-livable state for most of the holiday time.  But then, yesterday was laundry day, and there was extra laundry because of the … [Read more...]
