Dana White, Author at Dana K. White: A Slob Comes Clean

Giveaway!! – Fish Foam Window Cleaner

January 25, 2013 By Dana White

Random Observation #1: It makes me giggle that as a Known-to-the-World Slob (seriously, I know I have readers in Germany, Egypt, Serbia, Lithuania and more), companies ask me to test out their cleaning products. It's great motivation to clean! Random Observation #2: Taking pictures of dirty windows is hard. You know how a window can look … [Read more...]

How to Declutter Birthday Cards

January 24, 2013 By Dana White 83 Comments

Step One: Read the card one last time while thinking nice thoughts about the person who wrote it. Step Two: Throw it in the trash can. If the person who wrote it will be coming over soon, place another piece of trash over it so they don't see that you threw away their card. (School papers work well for this.) Now, lest you think I'm … [Read more...]

Since I Only Remember at the LEAST Convenient Time

January 23, 2013 By Dana White 7 Comments

It's winter. You wouldn't know it from the gorgeous weather last weekend, but we do have random spurts of insanely cold (for Texas) temperatures that make me want to bury myself under a blanket. Unfortunately, I can't (always) do that. And my kids really can't, because they have to go to school. So we bundle up in the coats we haven't … [Read more...]

It’s My Birthday, and I’m Having a Sale!!!

January 21, 2013 By Dana White 19 Comments

I'm sorry. This sale has ended. Partly because I'm not 39 anymore. I'm posting this on Monday evening (while I'm still 38), but by the time most of you read it . . . . it will be my birthday!!! And yes. If you just added 1+38, you figured out that I'm turning 39. For the very first time!! To celebrate, I put my e-books on sale. From … [Read more...]

Decluttering the Boys’ Bookshelf

January 20, 2013 By Dana White 47 Comments

The kids were out of school on Friday. Fun Mom took them to the park to enjoy a warm and sunny January day. (Seriously. We're in Texas.) But before she took over, Good Mom made them declutter their bookshelf. Their insanely messy bookshelf. We asked three questions: #1: Did you love this book? #2: Did you love it … [Read more...]

Making Fashion Easy

January 19, 2013 By Dana White 1 Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I go back and forth between: "Seriously? I have no time to worry about fashion!" and "I would like one of everything in the store, please!" I generally settle somewhere in between at: "I need a few cute pieces that I can dress … [Read more...]

How to Make the Most of Your Dishwasher (And My Passionate Love Affair with Mine.)

January 18, 2013 By Dana White 24 Comments

I'll admit it. I applied to be a Maytag Mom for the fridge. Ours was in her old age, unable to do the tricks she once could do (like making ice) and constantly tinkling on the kitchen floor. What I didn't know, though . . . was how much I would love my new dishwasher. When she first arrived, I thought she was pretty. She did a better job … [Read more...]

Extras. And Back-Up Plans

January 17, 2013 By Dana White 16 Comments

So do you know what was totally annoying me back in December? Every single time I drove my spare Suburban, I got totally freaked out because we never reset the clock when the time changed. You know how that is, right? Oh. Not really? Perhaps I should explain the "spare Suburban" thing. No, we're not so filthy rich that we have … [Read more...]
