Creating a Schedule for the New Normal

August 31, 2011 By Dana White | 6 Comments

My first six weeks as a mother weren't exactly blissful.  With feeding problems and an exceptionally-gifted-with-amazing-volume baby, my world had officially been rocked by this motherhood thing. By the three month mark, however, I had it together.  He had figured out how to eat, was sleeping through the night, and I had even (successfully) … [Read more...]

August’s Decluttering Update – Come Join In!

August 30, 2011 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I got a little bumfuzzled when I typed August just now.  Aren't we heading into August?  We couldn't possibly be coming out of it! And that, folks, describes my summer. It's also my excuse for why there's only one post in my decluttering category for August.  Thankfully, it was a doozie, and included my first webisode. I'm also including … [Read more...]

ONE Reason I Have a Hard Time Throwing Things Away

August 29, 2011 By Dana White | 25 Comments

This is a sock. A why-do-they-take-their-shoes-off-but-not-their-socks-when-they're-playing-outside sock. As I'm folding laundry, it DOES register that socks like these should be tossed straight into the trashcan.  Unlike towels on the bathroom floor, I do see the holes and acknowledge the sock's worthlessness. But this summer, I had … [Read more...]

How to Make Fried Okra (The BEST Fried Okra!) and My Menu Plan

August 28, 2011 By Dana White | 13 Comments

Let me begin with a few disclaimers: This will be a humility-free post. I feel no need to downplay how awesome my fried okra is, or to be politically correct and say that there are different methods for frying okra.  No matter what kind of fried okra you think you like, you'd like mine better.  (It's my mother's recipe.) The irony of … [Read more...]

How to Clean Up Your House When the Doorbell ISN’T Scheduled to Ring

August 26, 2011 By Dana White | 7 Comments

So, I've been at this slob-blogging thing for two years. I'm pretty sure that I will never write a boy-it-feels-great-to-have-it-all-together post for a blogiversary . . . since my blogiversary will always fall during the first week of school. Which is also the first week after the routine-free summer (which I LOVE) comes to an end.  It's … [Read more...]

Decluttering the Kitchen Drawer

August 25, 2011 By Dana White | 26 Comments

  This drawer has been making me crazy. For a very . . . . long . . . . time. It's the drawer that makes me appear to be a neurotically over-zealous host.  While in fact, I'm just neurotic. When a casual serve-yourself-from-the-stove guest asks where the forks are . . . and my husband accidentally tells them . . . . I find myself … [Read more...]

Two Years Down . . . A Half-Century (or So) to Go

August 24, 2011 By Dana White | 42 Comments

Today is my second blogiversary!!! Meaning . . . two years ago today I wrote the first post on A Slob Comes Clean. No one knew I was writing it.  Not even my husband. I had just come up with the blogging-for-accountability-and-focus idea and had to get going. Like when you're standing on a high-dive and know that if you think too long, … [Read more...]

What if I Can’t Handle the Truth?

August 23, 2011 By Dana White | 10 Comments

A few months ago, I heard that BookSneeze was accepting applications from bloggers to blog for Women of Faith. I applied, thinking . . . . "Y'know, I really should explore the spiritual aspects of this slob-thing, and this might be a good way to start doing that." I never heard from them, and assumed that I had been rejected.  And perhaps . . … [Read more...]

I Wonder What It’s Like to Get a Running Start . . .

August 22, 2011 By Dana White | 23 Comments

Today is the first day of school.  It's back to routine. I'm sad.  (So sad that I won't elaborate on just-how-sad out of fear that my computer will be ruined by the flood of tears.) But the routine does feel good. I got out of bed at 6 a.m. and immediately stripped the sheets. I got dressed in my … [Read more...]
