This is my linen closet. Even with the door shut, my slob-problems make themselves known. But comparatively, that's nothing. Nothing compared to the open-the-door-and-let-the-world-see shot. Blankets are my excuse. The last time I decluttered this same-exact-space, the blankets were moved to a different storage space. Obviously, … [Read more...]
I Went Shopping!
I'm excited to be one of Allyou.com's What's In Store? writers. My first column was published today. It's fun to write about shopping as a change of pace! Go check it out. (Sorry, note from the future, it doesn't exist anymore!) I LOVE All You Magazine! … [Read more...]
Creating a Schedule for the New Normal
My first six weeks as a mother weren't exactly blissful. With feeding problems and an exceptionally-gifted-with-amazing-volume baby, my world had officially been rocked by this motherhood thing. By the three month mark, however, I had it together. He had figured out how to eat, was sleeping through the night, and I had even (successfully) … [Read more...]
August’s Decluttering Update – Come Join In!
I got a little bumfuzzled when I typed August just now. Aren't we heading into August? We couldn't possibly be coming out of it! And that, folks, describes my summer. It's also my excuse for why there's only one post in my decluttering category for August. Thankfully, it was a doozie, and included my first webisode. I'm also including … [Read more...]
ONE Reason I Have a Hard Time Throwing Things Away
This is a sock. A why-do-they-take-their-shoes-off-but-not-their-socks-when-they're-playing-outside sock. As I'm folding laundry, it DOES register that socks like these should be tossed straight into the trashcan. Unlike towels on the bathroom floor, I do see the holes and acknowledge the sock's worthlessness. But this summer, I had … [Read more...]
How to Make Fried Okra (The BEST Fried Okra!) and My Menu Plan
Let me begin with a few disclaimers: This will be a humility-free post. I feel no need to downplay how awesome my fried okra is, or to be politically correct and say that there are different methods for frying okra. No matter what kind of fried okra you think you like, you'd like mine better. (It's my mother's recipe.) The irony of … [Read more...]
How to Clean Up Your House When the Doorbell ISN’T Scheduled to Ring
So, I've been at this slob-blogging thing for two years. I'm pretty sure that I will never write a boy-it-feels-great-to-have-it-all-together post for a blogiversary . . . since my blogiversary will always fall during the first week of school. Which is also the first week after the routine-free summer (which I LOVE) comes to an end. It's … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Kitchen Drawer
This drawer has been making me crazy. For a very . . . . long . . . . time. It's the drawer that makes me appear to be a neurotically over-zealous host. While in fact, I'm just neurotic. When a casual serve-yourself-from-the-stove guest asks where the forks are . . . and my husband accidentally tells them . . . . I find myself … [Read more...]
Two Years Down . . . A Half-Century (or So) to Go
Today is my second blogiversary!!! Meaning . . . two years ago today I wrote the first post on A Slob Comes Clean. No one knew I was writing it. Not even my husband. I had just come up with the blogging-for-accountability-and-focus idea and had to get going. Like when you're standing on a high-dive and know that if you think too long, … [Read more...]
