Last week, while I still had delusions about writing a Normal Day post, I took this picture: This is my daughter, doing her homework, with one of my most consistent clutter collecting spots in the background. Right. I've shown after pictures of this exact spot in previous posts. I even have a webisode of me decluttering it. But … [Read more...]
Two Second Task – Fixing That Curtain
Another two-second task for you. That (stupid) curtain had been whompy-jawed for . . . ummm . . . a while. At least all summer. And I hadn't fixed it. Even when we had friends over for dinner. Even when it bugged me like crazy. I only fixed it when I knew someone was coming over who had likely seen it before. People who hadn't … [Read more...]
Podcast 005 – Calling Myself a Slob and My Second (Of ONLY Two) Decluttering Questions
Podcast #5 is a little late, but is now up! In this podcast, I share Part 5 of my Slob Story, which includes the decision to call this blog A Slob Comes Clean, even though I had never called myself a slob before that. I also tell about my not-normal week last week. Other things mentioned: My Two Decluttering Questions Cleaning … [Read more...]
Accountability That Actually Counts
People like to talk about accountability. There are accountability groups, accountability systems, accountability partners and such. I set up this blog as a way to stay focused and hold myself accountable. In so many ways, that has worked. But truthfully, it's not the best kind of accountability. Part of what I've committed to do here is … [Read more...]
Google + Hangout – Habit Four “The Daily Pickup”
I'm just now adding last week's hangout from Google +. (So sorry! This video is no longer available.) Last week was a crazy week . . . Anyway, I enjoyed the hangout, and learned a lot about the technical side of things. As one of you predicted after my technical difficulties in the first hangout, as soon as I figured it out, Google changed … [Read more...]
Normal Days Don’t Happen Often (or Soup Isn’t Picnic Food)
It was suggested that I write a "normal day" type post. I totally planned to do that, but then this week happened. Not a normal day to be found. Which is pretty much normal for us. I had totally planned to share cute and funny pictures. Cute: My daughter making meatballs while I browned ten pounds of ground … [Read more...]
Dealing With Clutter Like Normal Friend Would
I haven't mentioned Normal Friend in a while. But I did channel her last Saturday. I was decluttering a big pile of . . . ummm . . . stuff in the garage. There will be a post coming about that soon, but basically I was cleaning up scattered (and stacked and thrown) summer stuff on the first cool day we've had. I came across a few … [Read more...]
A Huge Moment for this Slob Mama
I have two boys who are ten and eleven. They totally crack me up. Lately, they've been choreographing detailed "wrestling" matches and performing them for the rest of the family. Sunday, as they put on their scheduled pay-per-view (a penny per person) match during half-time of the Cowboys game, I used my fancy new camera to video … [Read more...]
Depending On My Maytag Appliances
Sponsored post alert! We're five weeks into this school year, so our routine is in full swing. Oh my word, routine makes such a difference. As you know, the biggest deal breaker in my personal housekeeping routine is doing the dishes. It's the one habit that keeps our house out of chaos. So, when Maytag asked me to share how I'm … [Read more...]
