A Look Inside My Brain (You May Want to Avert Your Eyes)

May 31, 2011 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I actually had a post already written for today, but I think I'll put it off until tomorrow. Feeling the need to  . . . Bleh. In case you aren't familar with this term, it could probably be defined as: The point at which thoughts come tumbling out of my brain with little rhyme or reason but (hopefully) in the end come together and make … [Read more...]

A Summer Version of My Kids’ Daily Checklist

May 30, 2011 By Dana White | 4 Comments

As I've been looking forward to summer, I have evaluated the success of last year's Summer of Clean. My kids learned valuable life skills and gained an understanding of what is required to keep a home clean.  It was far more successful than any of the other quickly-abandoned-summer-housekeeping-plans we've tried. Overall, it went well. But … [Read more...]

Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches – And a Double Dose of Picnic Fun

May 30, 2011 By Dana White | 10 Comments

Last Monday I admitted that I cheated by letting the little toga-guy provide our picnic supper for the week before. I more than made up for it. We had TWO picnic suppers last week. Every single baseball game was at 6:15. Although that means we can get the kids to bed almost on time, it also means that supper is crazy-rushed. On Monday, I … [Read more...]

An Eighteen Minute Project

May 27, 2011 By Dana White | 9 Comments

It was supposed to be an all-morning-long project. But then shopping took two-and-a-half hours and bathrooms needed scrubbing. I set the timer for an hour. But then something-or-other distracted me, and suddenly the timer only had thirty minutes left. I walked into the boys' room, determined to make however small-or-large a dent I could … [Read more...]

No Sheet-Folding Show Offs Here

May 26, 2011 By Dana White | 17 Comments

When it comes to me and sheets, folding is a bit of a relative term. I do try, but the end result looks more like wadding. I've been doing my sister-in-law's laundry since their house sold, and this week they brought their sheets. Washing them?  No problem.  Sheets make a big load but dry quickly so I feel like I've really accomplished … [Read more...]

When Feeling Overwhelmed: Take Teeny Tiny Steps

May 25, 2011 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I'm feeling overwhelmed. I can hear the end-of-the-school-year clock ticking, and there is just so much I want to get done. Yesterday, my daughter and I spent the day at a last-time-we-can-do-this preschool play date.  A totally worthy use of our day.  I had no problem pushing my bathroom-cleaning off until today. I would just get it done … [Read more...]

Prepping for Summer: The Big Clothing Count

May 24, 2011 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Last summer, in an effort to simplify our family life, I purged all but eight outfits per kid. It worked.  When the kids know that Laundry Day happens once a week, and that they only have enough outfits to wear one per day, they are not quite as likely to put on a different shirt when they get home from swimming. Not quite. I would love to … [Read more...]
