1. There may be disadvantages to the world knowing your Slob Secret, but it sure is nice when old friends who read your blog and know your heart come over and you don't have to worry about having a perfect home. 2. How much would you be willing to pay to have your bathrooms wiped down nightly? My 8yo is currently obsessed with getting this … [Read more...]
Decluttering Kids’ Rooms: Drastic Measures with Positive Results
A week or so ago, Erica shared an AWESOME idea in the comments on Things a Mother Might Say When Helping Her Sons Declutter. I loved the idea so much that I asked her if she'd be willing to write it up as a guest post! If you're at your wits' end feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of STUFF in your kids' rooms, this idea might be for … [Read more...]
She Won’t Look in Here . . .
I promise, it's not Mother In Law Week around here. But really, a visit from an MIL is pretty much guaranteed to inspire a few posts for a Slob Blogger. As I was frantically getting my house cleaned up for her visit last Friday, I stopped for a moment to . . . well . . . you know. Anyway, as I was sitting there for a moment, I looked … [Read more...]
Making It Look Like I Haven’t Cleaned
We all know I have issues, right? Good. On Friday . . . when I should have been basking in a kid-free morning while the kids were at my mom's house, I was cleaning. I'd been putting off any and all cleaning tasks all week under the assumption that I was going to start feeling better the next day. Except that I felt worse each day than I … [Read more...]
Dusting with Kids
Last week I shared this picture on Instagram and Facebook. It was Dusting, Vacuuming and Mopping Day around here. This kid (who claimed complete exhaustion and likely-devastating-disease in an attempt to get out of participating in DVM Day) changed his tune when he remembered these dusting slippers. So he called dusting. First . . . and … [Read more...]
I Think I Get It Now . . . Sort Of
Once upon a time, in a period of my life when the most protected, coveted, dreamed about, if-you-ring-my-doorbell-please-be-prepared-to-explain-why-I-should-not-cut-you-out-of-my-life-forEVER hour of my day was . . . NapTime . . . I remember having a strange and baffling conversation with another young mother. Our boys had played together for … [Read more...]
Weekly Fun for My DFW Readers
I am so thankful to work with the North Texas Chevy Dealers as a DFW Chevy Girl. They are truly fun people who always have something fun going on. And if you know me at all, you know that one of my favorite things . . . is fun! If you're in DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth) and you're on Facebook, you need to check out the Gotta Love Chevy DFW facebook … [Read more...]
When Usability Is the Goal . . .
I put it there so I would use it. As I uncover totally-useful-but-long-unused stuff in my various decluttering escapades, I really do try to figure out ways to get value out of the things I decide are worth keeping. For years, I stored my food processor in a cabinet that was almost impossible to get into. Therefore, I got out of the habit … [Read more...]
One More Picnic Idea – Asian Slaw
Last week we made our annual trip to Six Flags. It was hot. Thankfully, it was fun, too. I love our mid-day trek to the shady picnic area that's just outside the park. (I also love the money we save by eating that way!) The night before, we'd had Asian Slaw for dinner. I packaged up the leftovers by putting cabbage in one … [Read more...]
