When it comes to me and sheets, folding is a bit of a relative term. I do try, but the end result looks more like wadding. I've been doing my sister-in-law's laundry since their house sold, and this week they brought their sheets. Washing them? No problem. Sheets make a big load but dry quickly so I feel like I've really accomplished … [Read more...]
I'm feeling overwhelmed. I can hear the end-of-the-school-year clock ticking, and there is just so much I want to get done. Yesterday, my daughter and I spent the day at a last-time-we-can-do-this preschool play date. A totally worthy use of our day. I had no problem pushing my bathroom-cleaning off until today. I would just get it done … [Read more...]
Last summer, in an effort to simplify our family life, I purged all but eight outfits per kid. It worked. When the kids know that Laundry Day happens once a week, and that they only have enough outfits to wear one per day, they are not quite as likely to put on a different shirt when they get home from swimming.

That site doesn't exist anymore. Sorry!. Here at A Slob Comes Clean, I'm welcoming Amy from Resourceful … [Read more...]
Two more weeks! Two more weeks! Two more weeks and school is over for the year! I LOVE summer! I love having all of my kiddos home all day! Last summer, I was a little scared. It was the first summer of this slob-recovery-thing, and although I couldn't wait to have the kids home, I was petrified that I would lose any momentum I had … [Read more...]
Have you been waiting by your computer to see my picnic idea from last week? Technically . . . we did have a picnic. I'm calling it that even though we ended up eating in the car after narrowly escaping a torrential downpour. And I'm calling it that even though on the nifty picnic idea I had planned. We had pizza. As in, $5 pizzas from … [Read more...]
Recently, through My Blog Spark, I agreed to take Cascade Complete's 24 Hour Challenge. The challenge was to cook something especially messy, and then not do the dishes for 24 hours. Mmmmm, I can totally do that. I could go 48, or even 72 . . . and never break a sweat. They sent me this pretty white casserole dish in the picture. Ha! A … [Read more...]
Sometimes you weigh various factors when deciding which area to declutter next. Sometimes it just hits you over the head. (Almost) literally. I've been doing a decluttering/organization project most Thursdays. This morning, as I deflected falling cups and medicine bottles, I decided that this kitchen cabinet would be today's project. I … [Read more...]
