I’m back!! Life is bananapants because my house is in upheaval due to getting new floors (and new paint and ceiling scraping and such), but it was time for a podcast!! I’m sharing my post-summer report on how my shopping/eating plan with my teenagers went and their adventures in doing their own laundry.
Also, I got all confused back in May/June about episode numbers, and that confusion confused me again! I refer to this podcast (within the podcast itself) as 176, but it’s actually 177. Sorry!
This week’s sponsor:

They captured his interests, made it fun and the quality is great. Go to SongFinch.com and use Promo Code: CLEAN for $20 off your personalized Song From Scratch.
And as promised, here’s a photo of him (with his mom) after a performance as Elvis!
And yes, I made the costume.

Yay! So glad you’re back. Can’t wait to listen.
Hi Dana–
I love your stuff and have used it and recommended it extensively! Your brain works like mine, which is very helpful.
Question: Do you think your Teaching Kids to Clean ebook would be useful for teaching adults with developmental disabilities to clean (or teaching their staff how to teach them)? And does the book have very specific checklists for different rooms? I remember seeing a bathroom cleaning checklist you made for your kids once, and thought it would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Thanks, I enjoyed listening. Mom
Oh, yeah. And I really don’t like the word bananapants. Those two words just don’t belong together. Mom
Ellen,
Hope you don’t mind me pitching in an answer. I don’t know about severe disabilities (probably) but I found Dana’s advise on teaching children really helpful for my wife and myself. We are both autistic/ADHD and struggle with executive dysfunction, which means super simple things can need a bit of extra explaining. It might be harder with physical disabilities but it certainly helps for adults with mental disabilities.
Thanks for the input! It sounds like it will work.
