Not Saving Totally Savable Stuff
Note: I found this post when looking through my "drafts" for things I'd started writing but never finished. The only problem with posting it now is that we're in talks/negotiations about how we're going to celebrate this child's 10th birthday. Which means I wrote this post almost a year ago. Whatever. I'm sharing it. It's a birthday …
I Cleaned the Grout Grossness I Thought Was Uncleanable!
Someone recently commented that we sure have had some major house issues lately. Someone was right. I'm trying to take deep breaths and be grateful that we have a (leaky) roof over our heads and that we have had the money to deal with the urgent things and hope for the money to deal with the less-urgent things before they become …
Taking a Minute to Straighten the Bathroom Counter (Like, an Actual, Literal, for-real Minute)
"I need to let the plumber into my master bathroom." Little strikes terror into the heart of a slob like those words. Even a vastly-improved slob. A vastly-improved slob whose bathroom had returned to slobbiness while she wrote a book about how to not be such a slob. Anyway, this is the before pic of my bathroom counter: Yowser. …
089 Dealing with Hard Things – Interview with Mary Carver of Choose Joy
I don't think I'm cut out for interviews, y'all. I like the talking part, but the technical stuff does me in. This one is WAY better than the last (and first) interview a month ago, but it exhausted my limited editing skills and still has a bajillion flaws. Sorry. But the content is good! I talked to Mary Carver of GivingUpOnPerfect.com who …
Time to Go – When the Plate’s Crack Can No Longer Be Pretended Away
I rock at living in denial. I loved these dishes I bought at Pier 1 in my first year of marriage. (Or maybe my mom gave them to me. It's been almost 17 years, y'all.) In the year after I'd received every single piece of the other six sets of dishes I'd included in my bridal registry. Whatever. I'm no longer in denial about my Dish Issues …
It really does just start with clean dishes!
Dana/Nony here: A story from one of you, who (just like me) never thought something as simple as washing the dishes would have such a huge impact: Thinking back, when I set out to clean the house, the very first thing was the dishes then it migrated to the kitchen and out from there. My dishes have been clean for over a week now and I …
My Favorite Easy (but a little weird) Lunch – Spinach and Mozzarella
I love spinach and mozzarella together. My husband has been known to brag that I can make any version of those two ingredients taste great. Working at home, I struggle so much with lunch. If I actually remember to eat it (seriously, this is a recurring problem), I often get frustrated by my lack of ideas or lack of time to carry through on the …
