She Won’t Look in Here . . .

July 31, 2012 By Dana White | 9 Comments

I promise, it's not Mother In Law Week around here. But really, a visit from an MIL is pretty much guaranteed to inspire a few posts for a Slob Blogger. As I was frantically getting my house cleaned up for her visit last Friday, I stopped for a moment to . . . well . . . you know. Anyway, as I was sitting there for a moment, I looked … [Read more...]

Making It Look Like I Haven’t Cleaned

July 30, 2012 By Dana White | 22 Comments

We all know I have issues, right? Good. On Friday . . . when I should have been basking in a kid-free morning while the kids were at my mom's house, I was cleaning. I'd been putting off any and all cleaning tasks all week under the assumption that I was going to start feeling better the next day. Except that I felt worse each day than I … [Read more...]

Dusting with Kids

July 26, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Last week I shared this picture on Instagram and Facebook.  It was Dusting, Vacuuming and Mopping Day around here.  This kid (who claimed complete exhaustion and likely-devastating-disease in an attempt to get out of participating in DVM Day) changed his tune when he remembered these dusting slippers. So he called dusting.  First . . . and … [Read more...]

I Think I Get It Now . . . Sort Of

July 24, 2012 By Dana White | 32 Comments

Once upon a time, in a period of my life when the most protected, coveted, dreamed about, if-you-ring-my-doorbell-please-be-prepared-to-explain-why-I-should-not-cut-you-out-of-my-life-forEVER hour of my day was  . . . NapTime . . . I remember having a strange and baffling conversation with another young mother. Our boys had played together for … [Read more...]

Weekly Fun for My DFW Readers

July 24, 2012 By Dana White | 1 Comment

I am so thankful to work with the North Texas Chevy Dealers as a DFW Chevy Girl. They are truly fun people who always have something fun going on. And if you know me at all, you know that one of my favorite things . . . is fun! If you're in DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth) and you're on Facebook, you need to check out the Gotta Love Chevy DFW facebook … [Read more...]

When Usability Is the Goal . . .

July 23, 2012 By Dana White | 13 Comments

I put it there so I would use it.  As I uncover totally-useful-but-long-unused stuff in my various decluttering escapades, I really do try to figure out ways to get value out of the things I decide are worth keeping. For years, I stored my food processor in a cabinet that was almost impossible to get into.  Therefore, I got out of the habit … [Read more...]

One More Picnic Idea – Asian Slaw

July 22, 2012 By Dana White | 5 Comments

Last week we made our annual trip to Six Flags. It was hot. Thankfully, it was fun, too. I love our mid-day trek to the shady picnic area that's just outside the park.  (I also love the money we save by eating that way!) The night before, we'd had Asian Slaw for dinner.  I packaged up the leftovers by putting cabbage in one … [Read more...]

Summer of Clean Weekly Progress Report

July 20, 2012 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I skipped out on Summer of Clean reports for the past two weeks because of our vacation. But this week, it was back to  . . . well . . . as normal as summer can be. And yes, I gave us an A-.  Not for perfection, but for effort. We tried.  We actually had a Laundry Day, a Bathroom Cleaning Day, and a Dusting/Vacuuming/Mopping Day. All in … [Read more...]

Homemade Wipes

July 18, 2012 By Dana White | 25 Comments

I'm a fan of homemade cleaning products.  I'm also a fan of cleaning wipes. So, I combined the two and made homemade wipes!  Perfect for our Summer of Clean Bathroom Cleaning Days as my kids are the ones doing the bulk of the bathroom cleaning around here. Any time I can minimize chemicals that come into contact with my children while … [Read more...]
