Feeding Teenagers in the Summer (What I’ve Done and Am Doing)

May 29, 2018 By Dana White | 22 Comments

Before I start the post, let me assure you that this photo was taken because of its ridiculousness. Right after I took it, we put back all but one box of ramen and re-shopped for better choices.  I have sons who are 14 and 16 and a daughter who is 12. And it's summer. I love summer so much, and I love having my kids home. But they want to … [Read more...]

May 23, 2018 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Have I ever officially introduced you to Scruffy? No? Well then, meet Scruffy.   As a Swiffer ambassador, I've been asked to share my pet adoption story. OK, fine. I guuueeesss I don't mind talking about my baby dog. Four years ago, on my daughter's 8th birthday, we met Scruffy. We'd been looking everywhere for the right dog … [Read more...]

Stating the Obvious

May 21, 2018 By Dana White | 17 Comments

Recently, I created storage space by clearing a cabinet of things we no longer use. As I moved a box, I uncovered a printed piece of paper and had a sudden memory of this post from my first year of blogging. The post was about running across a cleaning schedule that was a handout at a moms' group I attended when my boys were babies. I found … [Read more...]

172: Overthinking the Housekeeping Process Podcast

May 17, 2018 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Overthinking housekeeping strategies was a big part of my problem. (Says the woman who has written 2 books on the subject.) The problem is that I like talking about and thinking about cleaning, organizing and decluttering more than I like actually like cleaning, organizing and decluttering. But thinking didn't clean my house and overthinking … [Read more...]

This Evil or that Evil?

May 15, 2018 By Dana White | 28 Comments

Well-used phrases like "the lesser of two evils" are well used for a reason. They put into words a common human struggle. Choosing between two evil (or even just unpleasant or irritating) things isn't fun. But sometimes it happens. Neither choice in a situation makes me jump for joy. But I have to choose. Because that's … [Read more...]

171: 6 Things My Mama Did Right Podcast

May 11, 2018 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Say the name of this episode with a Texas accent. It's important for the proper effect. With Mother's Day coming this week, I'm honoring my own mom and sharing some of the things she did that I seek to imitate (that's the word I couldn't think of!) in my own parenting. Being the mom of a slob is tough. She knows this trial well. But (spoiler … [Read more...]

Spring Cleaning/Decluttering – Dust Covered Clutter? Or Clutter Covered Dust?

May 9, 2018 By Dana White | 172 Comments

I decided to use a recent burst of spring cleaning energy to tackle a problem area in my master bedroom. Sometimes “spring cleaning energy” is best used on a decluttering project I’ve been avoiding. I’d had the great (<-sarcasm) idea to put a table in the corner, next to my side of the bed. My super-logical reasoning was something about needing … [Read more...]
