Earning While Cleaning . . .
Ever wondered how you could make toilet-cleaning profitable? I mentioned a while back that a woman at my church went crazy when she saw my Swagbucks t-shirt. She LOVES Swagbucks, and earns TONS of Amazon gift cards from them. (Not literal tons, of course . . . since the "gift cards" are sent by email.) I was intrigued because I had only … [Read more...]
Ten Things I Can Do Today So I’ll Feel Like Less of a Slob Tomorrow
How tired are y'all of hearing how overwhelmed I am? Wait . . . don't answer that. Yesterday was Wednesday, always my craziest day of the week, and had the addition of a rehearsal that got me home at 10:45ish last night. Yesterday afternoon, after convincing myself that I deserved an hour of uninterrupted chill that was then consistently … [Read more...]
Three Reasons We Pay our Kids for Chores
It's a controversial subject, right? And here I'm going to spout off a list of reasons? Believe me, I experienced the parental angst too. The guilt over the possibility that by tying money to things like teeth-brushing, bed-making, and undie-in-the-laundry-hamper-depositing, we would create an entitlement mindset in which our children would … [Read more...]
A Plan for the Week
I'll be honest . . . weekly goals scare me. It's one thing to have my totally-necessary daily checklist and the hope-for-the-random-housekeeper weekly tasks that I've developed since starting this blog. However, while those provide structure for my free-spirit, there's something different about actually writing down specific things that I … [Read more...]
How I Made a Perfect Roast out of Cheap Meat
I made roast beef. And it was awesome. I actually would have settled for not-horrible-for-once, so I was thrilled. I posted two weeks ago that I was planning to give it another shot, and appreciated all of the supportive comments with great advice. I know that every one else in the entire world can make a great roast in a crock … [Read more...]
How to Prioritize Decluttering Projects
We all know I have issues, right? Good. Yesterday, I expressed frustration over the past crazy month and how my over-committing-motormouth caused life to get crazy which naturally means the house gets scary. Whenever the house starts spiraling out of control, my Slob Brain does this strange thing. As the panicky … [Read more...]
The Afternoon Dilemma
(Welcome to a stream-of-consciousness post that may or may not end with a profound revelation. Your guess is as good as mine.) I didn't post yesterday. I arrived home from my Bible Study with an hour before school pick-up time, and had to shower. Y'know, since a sweetie-pie picked his nose while sitting on my lap. Anyway, I spent … [Read more...]
October’s Decluttering Update
No lie. I just typed "August's Decl" and then caught myself. Time Passage Awareness? Not really my thing. And evidently, putting posts in my decluttering category when doing a month of details really isn't my thing either. But . . . since I decluttered my Donation Spot at the end of September, I was able to take a picture of what's in it … [Read more...]
