Full Disclosure: Even though I've written about my love of purchasing chicken in bulk from Zaycon many, many times, they offered me a product from their extensive line for writing about it again. I jumped at that chance. I'm also using my own referral link so I can build up credit for my next chicken purchase. You can do the same thing by referring … [Read more...]
Using the Awkward Pauses
I don't like awkward pauses. I'm that person who fills the seven-minute-lull in party conversations with sometimes-funny-sometimes-not remarks. This school year has been full of awkward pauses as we haven't been able to develop a rhythm to our days. I'm blaming Junior High. The year started with football before school, leaving the house at 6:30 … [Read more...]

Finally Decluttered. I’m Pretty Sure We’ve Officially Tried Everything Now
Ahhhhh, that cute bench. That bench I ordered from eBay years ago, and was sure would solve our shoe storage issues. Back in 2012, I finally accepted that instead of collecting shoes, it was collecting stuff. It was a catch-all spot that I couldn't keep clear, so I got rid of it. That was a wise decision. I haven't missed it in that … [Read more...]
Two Second Task: Pitching the Completely Useless Counter-Space-Taker
This morning, my Slob Brain registered my own annoyance that there was one-too-many phones on my kitchen counter. For two days, there have been two phones in that space. But lest you think two days isn't that bad, I should admit that there has been one-too-many phones in that space for months. And months. A Phone That Doesn't Work Even … [Read more...]
Re-Decluttering Is a Real Thing
In case you're new around here, let me explain something. I truly believe the #1 thing I have to give to my kindred slob spirits is permission to keep going. Photo-proof that "after" photos turn back into before photos, and it's okay to tackle that same space again instead of throwing my hands up in the air and declaring there's no point in even … [Read more...]

How to Avoid Piles of Dirty Cups and Glasses
I'm all about finding solutions for chronic messes. Solutions that actually work. For years now, I've been singing the praises of my wash-the-dishes-every-single-night-and-put-them-away-every-single-morning method. The one I blab on and on about in my book, How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. That method works. It totally … [Read more...]
Super Easy (and Awesome) April Fool’s Day Dinner Prank
Last year, for the very first time ever, I thought about making a Prank Dinner BEFORE April 2nd. Go me! I posted pictures on Facebook, and the response was great, though it was tinged with a little "Ummmm, thanks for the idea NOW THAT IT'S TOO LATE!" So here I am, remembering to post it at the very end of March. Again, go me. Credit … [Read more...]
