Creating a New Comfort Zone

October 22, 2013 By Dana White | 10 Comments

  I haven't written much about the fact that . . . . I have worked out (like, at a gym and EVERYthing) at least three days a week for eight weeks now. It's the ninth week, and I've already done two days. I'm proud of myself, but I'm petrified that the minute I write a post stating that "this is my workout routine" I'll break my … [Read more...]

Wasting Time Because I Tried to Save It

October 21, 2013 By Dana White | 14 Comments

I vaguely remember thinking I did not have time to put the red lid back on the soap-dispensing scrubber that had somehow come apart. I'm sure it made more sense to me to wait until later. To do it when I was dealing with sink-stuff anyway. That would be more efficient, right? As usual with these sorts of things, I was wrong. Putting the … [Read more...]

Nony Starts Using Grown-Up Glasses (And Declutters Her Kitchen Cabinet in a Webisode)

October 20, 2013 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Oh, the layers of procrastination that exist in this project. First, I received a lovely set of glasses for Christmas. In 2012. They were beautiful, appreciated, and perfect. And they sat in the bottom of my kitchen pantry for the next eight months . . . In the box. Even though I was glad to have them, there was the whole matter … [Read more...]

How to Keep a Book’s Binding from Breaking

October 18, 2013 By Dana White | 33 Comments

Hmmm. That title is a mouthful. There are some things my husband has taught me, and some things that I have taught him. Marriage helps you see firsthand that not everyone's mama teaches her kids the exact same stuff. When my husband lamented that chunks of pages were falling out of a fairly new (and expensive) Bible a few years ago, I asked … [Read more...]

Smarter

October 17, 2013 By Dana White | 12 Comments

I've been debating with myself over this post. I'm not sure if I'll actually finish it, or if it will sit in "Drafts" like some others do. If you're reading it, then I published it, and you'd better be ready for some pretentious, likely-delusional self-examination. This is mostly about me, but it's something I realized while looking in that … [Read more...]

Two Second Task: Saving My Sanity

October 16, 2013 By Dana White | 11 Comments

A while back, I wrote a review of the Click 'N Dig Key Finder System. I . . . love . . . my . . . key finders. But recently, one by one . . .  they became possessed. Randomly beeping. Clicking. Never being quiet, even when hidden in a drawer or shoved under a pillow or banged impatiently against the table. This went on for … [Read more...]

Proud Mama of a Declutterer!

October 15, 2013 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I feel like I should get a bumper sticker made. I experienced a Proud Mama Moment while cleaning my daughter's room this morning. (Not that I'm proud of cleaning her room. I'm totally un-proud that I still haven't mastered the art of getting my kids to keep their rooms clean.) (Or of keeping my own room clean . . . ) But as I … [Read more...]

Perfect. But Useless.

October 13, 2013 By Dana White | 24 Comments

As I worked in the garage recently, sorting through clutter that had magically appeared . . . I found this. It was perfect, but useless. In case your kids aren't in the booster seat stage, I'll explain. This is the top portion of a booster seat for the car. When the kids first move out of a car seat, this back portion of the booster helps … [Read more...]
