Grammy’s ALWAYS Welcome!

May 18, 2012 By Dana White | 12 Comments

I've come a long way in my journey to being willing to open the door to unexpected visitors, but there's one person who is always allowed into my home, no matter how bad my recent tunnel vision has been. My mother. I know that many slobs don't have this kind of relationship with their mothers, so I most definitely don't take it for … [Read more...]

Garage Sale Advice

May 17, 2012 By Dana White | 17 Comments

The Former Garage Sale Queen had another garage sale a few weeks ago.  Even though I've decluttered and donated and flat-out-trashed huge amounts of stuff in the past three years, I still managed to scrape together enough clutter to justify spending ten dollars for a newspaper ad. And to be willing to greet strangers in my driveway before 7 a.m. … [Read more...]

Picnic Ideas: Taco Salad Bags!

May 13, 2012 By Dana White | 18 Comments

I loved your suggestions for picnic meals, and last Monday tried a version of the Tacos in a Bag or Frito Pie that were suggested. We . . . loved these. Here's how I made Tacos/Taco Salads for our Baseball Night Picnic: (If you're a kid and think any meal with the word "salad" in it is likely to be gross, call them Tacos in a Bag.  If … [Read more...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

May 12, 2012 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I wasn't going to post today.  I've been busy all day doing the Whole House Scrub Down to get ready to have family over on Sunday.  If you've liked my page on Facebook, you've been in on all the antics of my play-by-play cleaning day. But then, I had to show this precious paper my daughter brought home for Mother's Day: Love it!  By the way, … [Read more...]

Two Days vs. Two Weeks

May 10, 2012 By Dana White | 14 Comments

Things are crazy right now with the end-of-school activities. Add to that the wonderful and exciting event of both my boys getting baptized on Mother's Day and the realization that if people are driving an hour to share in the celebration . . . I really want to have them over for lunch afterward . . . and this … [Read more...]

How to Recycle Old T-Shirts

May 9, 2012 By Dana White | 19 Comments

How is it possible that a ratty old t-shirt can hold so many memories? I can't count the number of times I have almost placed a favorite t-shirt in the trash or the donate pile . . . only to put it back in a drawer. Sooooo many memories. But I recently had a moment of clarity as I was folding the above … [Read more...]

Realistic Couponing

May 8, 2012 By Dana White | Leave a Comment

You all know I was once an avid couponer, right?  I spent hours clipping coupons and organizing my grocery lists.  My sink was full of dirty dishes . . . but my coupon box was a Thing of Organizational Beauty. I've chilled a little on all of that, but I am so thankful for the skills I learned and for the general knowledge I gained about … [Read more...]

It’s Not Easy Being a Scatter-Brained Germaphobe

May 7, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

I do believe this is what is referred to as a First World Problem. Meaning, there are people in the world with real problems.  This is just a minor life-inconvenience caused by my own neurosis. But seriously, when you are running 90-to-nothing (not that I have any idea what that cliche actually means . . . ), and you find yourself writing … [Read more...]
