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...]

Christmas is Here!
I've had a funny line running through my head for the last few hours, but rather than put it into a post . . . . I'm going to save it for another time! After much play with my new iPhone, and small but focused kitchen-cleaning and pickup time, I'm ready to head into these precious next few days with blogging in the background. Have a … [Read more...]
What’s it Worth?
We spent some time at my mother-in-law's house recently. She brought out a bag of Beanie Babies that she recently decluttered. My daughter chose her two favorites to bring home. Roary the Lion and Pugsley the dog. My five year old . . . is in love with them. I was in college during the Beanie Baby craze and missed out on the excitement. … [Read more...]
The “Surely” Reasoning
Such a cute little container, right? Surely I could find something to do with it next year . . . right? Surely. Except that I don't have a spot for these surelies. And I generally find these types of saved containers right after I give the gift that would have fit perfectly in them. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about … [Read more...]
Another Day in December
Let's just say the house looks much better tonight than it did when we got home late last night. I know that many normal people feel the need to have their house in order before leaving town for a few days, but I guess my deslobification process hasn't gotten that far yet. When Friday is a half day of school, hubby and the kids come home with … [Read more...]
Cleaning Someone Else’s Home
We spent the weekend with my extended family at the lake. Because my parents (whose house we stayed in) had to leave to catch a plane, we offered to stay an extra day and do the cleaning up since hubby and the kids are already on Christmas break. Thankfully, no one raised an eyebrow at the irony that “Nony the Slob” was staying to do the … [Read more...]
