If you read my menu plans, you may have noticed that one of our favorite meals is Blah-blah-blah with "mushroom gravy" over rice/potatoes/pasta. About a month ago, one of you called me on it. And then my aunt literally called me. You were both being nice, and wanted to know my "recipe" for mushroom gravy. Because it sounds nice. And … [Read more...]
A Few Links for the Weekend
I generally don't post on Saturdays, but thought I'd share a few links to things I've written around the web lately. I guest posted over at Raising Arrows yesterday, sharing how honesty has probably been the biggest factor in my deslobification process. My next article at All You is also up. Love that magazine and am having a blast doing … [Read more...]
So the Clothes are Clean . . . Now What?
I keep up with laundry. Really . . . I do. For over a year now, I've been doing all of our laundry on Mondays, and that system works for us. And for my Slob Brain. No more one-load-a-day-delusions that just end in the same one load being washed every day for a week because I keep forgetting to put it in the dryer. But then, similar … [Read more...]
Decluttering in the Master Bedroom with Normal Friend – With Webisode
I guess I could just call this "Normal Friend" week, huh? Really, though, the work that we got done when she was here for three hours last Friday was (at least) a week's worth of work for me. I'm so . . . incredibly . . . grateful. Anyway, the final thing that we did before she left was to shoot a webisode. Probably not the … [Read more...]
The Doorbell is My Friend
Two years ago (almost exactly), I volunteered to host a Sunday evening home group for our church. As in, every single Sunday. As in, people coming into my home . . . every single Sunday. It was a risk, but I had been at the deslobification thing for about a month at that point, and I had hope that maybe I could handle it. And I knew that … [Read more...]
It’s an Honor Just to Be Nominated . . .
Not really . . . I want to WIN! Don't just think of it as a vote for me, think of it as a vote for slobs everywhere. Even though, really . . . it's a vote for just me. Anyway, I'd love it if you could take the two seconds necessary to go vote for me. I've been nominated (I assume by one of you) for Circle of Mom's Top 25 Home Management … [Read more...]
Watching Normal People Clean – Part Two
Yesterday, I shared about my normal friend who felt pity for me and asked if she could come over to help me clean. She phrased it as "helping me get caught up after summer." However she wanted to see it, I was grateful for the help. Since it was her. I can count on one hand the number of people whom I would "let" help me clean my master … [Read more...]
Watching Normal People Clean
On Friday I mentioned over on my Facebook page that my normal friend had come over to help me clean my master bedroom. You know on cartoons where there's one character who moves slowly while the Tasmanian Devil is a blur all around? That's pretty much what it felt like. Honestly, watching her was fascinating. When I could get my eyes to … [Read more...]
How to Make Caramelized Onions
I am thankful that, for the most part, Hubby and I have the same likes and dislikes when it comes to food. I fully understand how lucky I am. It's our standard to say "No raw onions or tomatoes, please" when asked what we like. Which adds irony to the fact that after our wedding, the person who packed a meal for us from the buffet (that we … [Read more...]
