First of all . . . I put my Christmas decorations away on NEW YEAR'S EVE!!! Like . . . even the tree. Like . . . all the way into the attic. (Actually Hubby did the attic part, but still.) Once the applause dies down and the shock wears off . . . I'll share my moment of strange satisfaction. Ready now? I love this box. It's a … [Read more...]
Printable Household Cleaning Checklists
As someone whose biggest housekeeping struggle is . . . focus . . . I've developed checklists that help me stay on track. When I have a list, the chances are much higher that I'll remember where I was when I got distracted. And I'm always getting distracted. Because of this blog, I started creating my checklists on the computer. Having them … [Read more...]
Plans for 2012
I'm having a hard time believing that the new year is here! On this third New Year's Day since I started A Slob Comes Clean, I've decided not to make any big proclamations. I'm just going to keep chugging along, trying to maintain the order I've achieved so far in my deslobification process, and working to gain more traction through … [Read more...]
Menu Plan – First One of 2012
I'll share my plans for the new year in my next post, but first . . . I need to get my menu plan out of the way for the week. Menu planning may not be something I look forward to, and it generally involves me tapping my fingers on the keys while trying to think of something we haven't eaten (three times) in the last few weeks, but I've accepted … [Read more...]
Happy New Year!
We're staying at home tonight. I'm just not willing to wear the kids out when school starts on Monday! I'm planning to make black bean soup and have nachos for the kids. Fun food plus a night spent playing all the board games the kids got for Christmas sounds waaayyyy more fun to this mama than a night on the town! Last year at this time, we … [Read more...]
Christmas Motivated Decluttering
I had fun with the jcpenney Secret Santa project this year. When we were asked to provide gift suggestions for our Secret Santas, I headed over to the website, and immediately fell in love with a set of stainless cookware that I ended up getting. Part of what made me love it was the fact that there were so . . . many . . . pieces. I might only … [Read more...]
The Daily Checklist
Why I have a daily checklist: The original tagline for A Slob Comes Clean was: Figuring Out Why I Am This Way, and What I Can Do to Change. Truly, my messy house was a mystery to me. For an intelligent, successful-in-every-other-area-of-life person, the frustration I felt over the fact that my house could go from party-ready to total-disaster … [Read more...]
Finish Jet-Dry Review
I'll be honest . . . I had never used a rinse agent in my dishwasher until about a week ago when I received a sample of Finish Jet-Dry. I was excited to try it out, though a little confused. I couldn't find any instructions on the bottle itself (though that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't there . . . ). However, when I looked at my … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering never ends. Ever. While daily habits are key to keeping my home under control, decluttering makes real progress possible. A daily pick-up can only help so much when there’s just . . . too . . . much . . . stuff. Below, I've shared links to posts about the decluttering strategies I've developed over the years by working to … [Read more...]
