Our Next Veggie Experiment

August 31, 2012 By Dana White | 13 Comments

Several months ago, my husband and I decided to go on a crazy two-week diet of only fruits and vegetables. Actually, he decided.  I grudgingly went along for the ride. Well, we're doing it again.  And this time I'm (strangely) all for it.  I realized how much better I felt and how much I need to kick my sugar addiction. This time, I know … [Read more...]

My Iron’s Appendix

August 29, 2012 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I've been focusing on my daily checklist this week in an attempt to get back into routine and get the house into shape after the loosi-goosiness of summer. On the checklist?  Check the bathrooms for clutter. Mmm-hmmm.  This has been a non-negotiable task for me since the first month or so of my deslobification process. Not that I don't … [Read more...]

Using My Fear of Exploding Heads for Good

August 28, 2012 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Sometimes decluttering makes me feel like my head is going to explode. I can be going along, using all of my well-developed (from excessive amounts of experience) decluttering methods and plowing through the mess when BAM. My entire body seizes up and my head begins to pound.  I've run across something that doesn't easily give me a first … [Read more...]

Happy (Real) New Year! (And My 3rd Blogiversary!)

August 27, 2012 By Dana White | 11 Comments

January first? Schmanuary schmirst! Every mother knows that the beginning of a new school year is the real New Year. While I prefer to have my kids home for the routine-free joys of summer, I also try to make the best of whatever stage/season/month of life I'm in. And yes, I've given that speech three times in the last 24 hours to my … [Read more...]

Over My Lifeless Body

August 26, 2012 By Dana White | 11 Comments

Tomorrow is the first day of school. Yes, I've already cried about it. While I'll miss the joy of sleeping late and yakking with my kids over lunch, there is some appeal to getting back into a routine. Routines help.  Days with definite obligations and definite assignments help me combat my Slob Vision and keep this place out of Disaster … [Read more...]

Let’s Try a(nother) New Way

August 23, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Kids are always growing. And changing. And sometimes it's hard to keep up.  Especially for a Slob Mama who gets overly discouraged about failed organizational methods anyway. But if I've learned anything through this deslobification journey, it's that I must keep trying.  Again and again. And again. A few weeks ago, a few days after … [Read more...]

Summer of Clean Final Bathroom Report

August 22, 2012 By Dana White | 1 Comment

Here's the short version of my final report on how we did cleaning bathrooms this summer: The bathrooms were thoroughly cleaned several times this summer.  If I hadn't been purposeful about continuing to train my kids to clean them on a designated Bathroom Cleaning Day, they likely wouldn't have been cleaned at all this summer. The long … [Read more...]

Lunch Making Season Begins

August 21, 2012 By Dana White | 19 Comments

  Next week, it begins. The early mornings.  The early bedtimes.  The homework. And the lunch-making.  Which is not really my favorite part. The first day that my first child went to kindergarten, I packed his lunch sack so full that it wouldn't close. It had a sandwich, chips, string cheese, an apple, carrots, and … [Read more...]

Summer of Clean is Almost Over (Laundry Report)

August 19, 2012 By Dana White | 6 Comments

HOW does summer fly by so quickly?  It's been another fun year and my kids are crazy-tan, in great shape from swimming like maniacs almost every day, and sad-as-can-be that school starts next week. While we're having Summer's Last Blast this week, I thought I'd report on how our Summer of Clean went. First, let's talk laundry. Mondays were … [Read more...]
