My Favorite Delusion: “If I Had More Time”

August 30, 2015 By Dana White | 15 Comments

My mostest favoritest Slob Delusion in the whole wide world? If I had more time/wasn't so busy/didn't have SO MANY other things to do, my house would be clean. Magically. Easily. Without me even realizing I was cleaning it. Is it the true definition of delusional when someone has learned from (oh-so-much) experience that something … [Read more...]

Schmave Schmamsey

August 27, 2015 By Dana White | 38 Comments

It was a good summer. Even though it started like this: That was the last day of school in June. I was pulling out of my alley, on my way to pick up kids, when my car died. I re-started it. It re-died. Another re-start. Another death. And then my 11yo, who was with me, said, "Mom, the car is smoking." What?? Now, here's where … [Read more...]

Six Years (and a day) Later! (And a Very Big Announcement!!)

August 25, 2015 By Dana White | 58 Comments

Oops. I knew my sixth blogiversary was coming up this week since I started the blog on the day this kid went to kindergarten in 2009. I just assumed it wasn't the exact same day. I was wrong. On August 24th, 2009, I wrote the first post on what was supposed to be my secret, anonymous, temporary, practice blog. The state of my house was … [Read more...]

Need a Win? Grab a Trash Bag!

August 24, 2015 By Dana White | 17 Comments

Summer is over. As I sit here in my eerily quiet house, I'm back to blogging. So far, "blogging" has involved a phone call which moves me one step closer to making a very exciting announcement. It has also included starting (but not finishing) several different posts that have been rolling around in my head over the summer. But alas, I want to … [Read more...]

From Our Mailbox: Using an Awkward Pause

August 19, 2015 By Dana White | 1 Comment

Note from Nony: The messages are coming in, asking when my kids start to school and when blogging/podcasting will resume. They start on Monday, the 24th! I'm sad they're going back, but ready to get back to this blog job. Here's hoping for a new post on Monday, unless the unexpected happens (like it did last year on the first day of school). … [Read more...]

Stress-Free School Supply Shopping? It’s Sortof Possible

August 14, 2015 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I posted this on FB, and then realized I should put it here for those of you who aren't on Facebook. Really, this has significantly reduced my Back to School Stress. It's also an opportunity for affiliate links. Before my oldest kid started school, I had visions of strolling down the school supply aisle, leisurely filling our cart with … [Read more...]

From Our Mailbox: Doing the Dishes DOES Make a Difference!

August 4, 2015 By Dana White | 17 Comments

  From Dana/Nony: I LOVE this comment Stella left recently on this post. It's such a great example of how a system, ANY version of a system, makes such a huge difference! Dear Dana, I am proud to say that my dishes and sink are now clean nearly every single day. It's not a perfect system, I do the dishes in the afternoon and then we … [Read more...]
