Scared of a Plan

February 1, 2010 By Dana White 2 Comments

When I went to Orgjunkie.com to link my Menu Plan (and account of my insane and exhausting grocery trip) for the week, I saw that she's having a 28 day organizing round-up.

Uh wn shpn. That's about as verbal as I feel right now. I just went on the shopping trip from . . . well . . . a difficult-to-relax kind of place. It was so bad that I had to call my husband and ask him if I could just vent for a few minutes. I love that man and how he totally understands and lets me be me. Basically, picture the most … [Read more...]

Normal People Scare Me

February 1, 2010 By Dana White 6 Comments

I love blogging. I'm generally an open person. But I don't tell any "normal people" about my blog.

If it's been a busy week of posting and linking up to … [Read more...]

Things were working out perfectly, right? Wrong. So what happened? Puke happened. Lots of it, with multiple kids. Oh well. That's the story of a mom's life right? Don't make … [Read more...]

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

January 29, 2010 By Dana White 19 Comments

Paper plates used to be a must-have item in our house. Hubby would get nervous when we ran out. If he ever found what looked like it might be a grocery list lying around, he would jot down "paper plates, please." They were necessary for two reasons. First was as a last resort. When every single plate in the house was dirty and piled in the … [Read more...]

But Slobs are So Much Fun . . . .

January 28, 2010 By Dana White 7 Comments

I visited Lifeasmom.com's Birthday Cake Round-up. Why? Because I love love love themed kid parties and making the cakes to go along with them. This is the ladybug cake from my daughter's 3rd birthday. I used my big glass measuring thingy from Pampered Chef because I remembered hearing at a party that you could use it to bake a cake. I … [Read more...]
