I promise, it's not Laundry Week here at A Slob Comes Clean. But really, I have to share the demise of my hamper. The hamper that my 10yo carried to the laundry room on Sunday night to sort clothes, only to realize the hamper was empty. Y'know, because the bottom had fallen out. I'm pretty sure the bottom fell out because the front fell … [Read more...]
Rabbit Clothes
I'm not actually going to write about clothes for rabbits. Though I must say . . . animals-wearing-people-clothes is one of my favorite things. For some r eason, that sight always makes me happy. Especially monkeys. What is it about a monkey in shorts and a t-shirt that makes me want to giggle? Anyway, back to the … [Read more...]
My Secret Ingredient
I have a secret ingredient. I add it at the end of ever-so-many of our favorite recipes. When a dish is missing something . . . I add a dash of garlic salt. Just a dash, because any measured amount would be too much. In the picture, I'm adding it to ground beef that we put on homemade pizza. Have you ever had homemade pizza that tasted … [Read more...]
The Post with Ambiguous Pictures
I'm having a garage sale. Soon. Last week, I really thought that I would somehow get it together for tomorrow. Har-dee-har-har-har! Ohhhhh, let me catch my breath! OK. Yeah . . . that's not going to happen. Anyway, last week I cleaned out THE CABINET. The Last Resort Cabinet. It's where all of the things I've decluttered over … [Read more...]
Step Number: Last
No matter how many steps a task or project has, the last one is the hardest. Remember how I was so proud of not removing my suitcase from the closet to do the seasonal clothing changeover? Yes, I eliminated the need to move it from the master bedroom back into the closet. I eliminated that step completely. Which was … [Read more...]
Clothing Management – Hanging Vs. Folding
Over the past few years, I've become a hanger. Not a hanger hanger, but a hang-er. Someone who hangs. You know what I mean, right? Anyway, it started when my oldest began wearing uniforms in first grade. Before that, it was all comfy-boy-clothes all the time. But once he wore khakis and collared shirts all week, it seemed like the … [Read more...]
“I Didn’t Want to Hurt Your Feelings, Mom.”
I bought these video game chairs Christmas-before-last. A great idea, but they haven't been used the way I thought they would be. And now that my gameroom (see how I no longer call it a gameroom/office/guestroom) has the feel of a real room and purposeful furniture placement, the chairs haven't been used. They've been sitting in a … [Read more...]
Chicken Stir Fry with Ramen
For the girl who once upon a time couldn't make a decent chicken stir fry, I sure do have quite a few versions posted on my blog. Once you get the basic technique down, there are many variations. This was actually my first successful one. Before chicken fried rice, I made this quite a bit. And just like with the fried rice, when the kids see … [Read more...]
My First Speaking Event
If any of you would have told me three years ago that I would stand in front of a group of women and give advice on cleaning and organizing . . . I would have laughed in yo' face. Loudly. And yet, a little over a month ago, that's just what I did. I have been ready and willing to take this blogging thing into the realm of public speaking … [Read more...]
