Technically, this post should be a report on what I decluttered in December. But that was so last year. For some reason, I have no desire to even go look at my decluttering category. Not sure where this defiant attitude is coming from . . . but I'm just in the mood to look forward. To what I'm doing right now. And what I'm doing right … [Read more...]
Even Though I Know Better
I was cleaning the kitchen this morning. (Just so you know, if my husband is reading this at work right now . . . he probably just cheered loudly. I let busy-ness trump my Daily Checklist for two days, and it was bad.) As I washed the burned rice off of the bottom of my new stainless steel skillet, I started to stick it in the dishwasher … [Read more...]
Freezer/Pantry Clean-Out Month
I saw that Jessica from Good Cheap Eats and several other bloggers are hosting a pantry challenge this month. I participated in something similar two years ago in January. This time, though, will be different. First of all, I think I overdid it last time. I used up EVERYTHING we had, and since my couponing went on the decline soon after, I … [Read more...]
A Strange Satisfaction
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...]
