(Lame) Excuse: “But Surely There’s a Better Solution . . . “

October 25, 2012 By Dana White 10 Comments

Recently, my 10yo said, "Wait, isn't that the same shoe shelf we used to use?  Like . . . a really long time ago?" Why yes.  It is. Do you remember the extreme decluttering of the shoe bench/cabinet that TOTALLY didn't work? At all? Well, way back when . . . that shoe bench was a replacement for this shoe shelf. We had this shoe … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse: “But I Could Totally Get that Fixed . . . “

October 24, 2012 By Dana White 24 Comments

Here I go with a post that will send some people over the edge.  I know, because I'm one of you. Feel free to suggest what I could have done with these, because I really am interested. I love knowing all the possibilities of turning trash into treasure. But I tend to just treasure trash.  Recently, I did something I've noticed other … [Read more...]

How to Dust When Your Home Could Pass for a Haunted House

October 23, 2012 By Dana White 11 Comments

  The dust in my master bedroom was atrocious when I got to Cleaning Day in the Master Bedroom Saga. Horrendous.  Terrifying.  Appalling. Yes, this post is part of my 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses.  But I'm going to share both a REASON why the dust was so bad, and then an excuse. A lame excuse. Reason: When a room is as … [Read more...]

The Biggest Slob Excuse of All (And How I Got Over It)

October 22, 2012 By Dana White 59 Comments

I didn't actually say all these excuses would be my current excuses. Did I? Whatever. It's my blog and I can write what I want.  (Now just a warning . . . I may get a little preachy, but I truly am basing this on my own experience.) The most common "But . . . " I hear when it comes to housekeeping woes has to do with O.P. Y'know, … [Read more...]

October 21, 2012 By Dana White 13 Comments

Time for another post in the Master Bedroom Saga! I know.  I missed putting one up last week.  So here's my excuse (insert 31 Days of Excuses plug here):  I was busy.  And life trumps blogging. But now I'm back with a new post and webisode in the series.  If you're new, you should probably catch up by reading (and watching) posts one, two, … [Read more...]

Catching Up on Some Excuses

October 20, 2012 By Dana White 8 Comments

I'm behind on my (lame) excuse posts. Sorry. I missed Thursday because I was out most of the day, and couldn't find a moment to write.  I missed Friday because I was putting up a post about my new appliances from Maytag.  And I really couldn't come up with a way to make that an excuse! Give me time . . . I'm sure I'll come up with … [Read more...]

My New Maytag Appliances!

October 19, 2012 By Dana White 7 Comments

Last week, something incredible happened.  It involved opening my front door. It also involved bringing people in (whom I'd never met before) and letting them look at, in, and around my kitchen. But it's okay because . . . my new appliances from Maytag were delivered!!  Yes, I'm crazy-excited about being a Maytag Mom, but I'm mostly … [Read more...]

Excuse #752 It’s ALL NONY’S FAULT

October 17, 2012 By Dana White 4 Comments

Today, I'm publishing a comment left by one of you as a guest post.  Slob with OCD wrote this If-You-Give-a-Mouse-a-Cookie-esque comment a few days ago, and it tickled me so much I wanted to feature it!   If it weren’t for Nony . . . I wouldn’t have been hand washing cereal bowls this morning. If she hadn’t been so funny I never would have … [Read more...]
