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
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...]
The Lazy Way to Grocery Shop without a List and Still Get What You Need

Teamwork
So yesterday I spilled my Slob Guts about my personal grief over not having been the perfect mother during my kids' preschool years. Today I'm going to share how Teamwork has been going so far this year. We've been at it for one week. (Technically, we're two weeks into the year, but did anyone actually begin working on New Year's Resolutions … [Read more...]
My Word for 2013 (The Post I Almost Couldn’t Write)
The Short Version: I wasn't sure if I was going to have a Word of the Year this year. But then this word came to me: Teamwork. It was perfect. Blogging/writing has become my job, and in accepting that I'm now a Work at Home Mom, I also need to accept that I can't do it all. I need to do better in involving my children in our overall, … [Read more...]
My State of the Home Post
When people hear about A Slob Comes Clean for the first time, they seem to have one of two assumptions: Assumption #1: My home is always a disaster and obviously, I'm proud of that since I have a blog about it. or Assumption #2: My house is perfectly clean all the time because I am fully changed from my slobbish ways. Y'know, since I have … [Read more...]
Why I Don’t Care Who Sells My Stuff
I'm decluttering. What? You thought I was DONE decluttering just because I wrote a book about it? Har-dee-har-har-har. Anyway, that picture up there is why I have absolutely no problem with someone else making money from my stuff. (Oof. Grunt. Ehhhh. OK. I just climbed up on my soapbox. Be ready for a little preachin'.) I've … [Read more...]
The Nose. It Knows.
With yesterday came the return of routine. Since Thanksgiving, we had been pretty routine-free around here. Some of that was because of crazy heart/soul/mind/energy-consuming things like traveling and directing plays and writing e-books and such. And then there were those little things called "Christmas" and "New Year." I mean, who cleans … [Read more...]

It's the end of the video footage I shot while actually doing the project, and I put it into two different videos. (If you're reading by email, click on the title of the post to get … [Read more...]
