Looking Everywhere But There

October 5, 2014 By Dana White 17 Comments

I’m all for clever solutions.

But sometimes even the cleverest don’t work for me.

I spent at least five minutes looking for my dustpan last weekend.

Any guesses where it was?

Hmmmph.

I’m speaking at an ONLINE Conference next week! (Perks for pre-registering!)

October 4, 2014 By Dana White 1 Comment

I am speaking at the Homemaking from Scratch Conference this week on decluttering! It’s a great opportunity to hear from various speakers without leaving the comfort of your own home. “Attendees” can watch the sessions on their own time frame. You don’t have to be online at a specific time. I wanted you to know […]

A Laundry Day Bonus Feature

October 3, 2014 By Dana White 6 Comments

I know. I’ve been yakking about laundry all week. (Sometimes that happens, y’all.) I just get excited when puzzle pieces unexpectedly fit because a routine is working. Puzzle pieces like this towel that I used as a knee-saver when I was cleaning that horrendous spot on the playroom floor last weekend: Pre-Laundry Day, I would […]

Setting Aside a Weekend for a Twenty Minute “Project”

October 2, 2014 By Dana White 11 Comments

I look forward to the end of Daylight Savings Time each fall because dark happens earlier. Not that I don’t love daylight. But when darkness falls before 6 p.m. on Sunday nights, I don’t have to worry about the state of my playroom when our church’s home group meets here. Our playroom is really an […]

037 Excuses (Good Ones!) Podcast

October 2, 2014 By Dana White 6 Comments

A few years ago, I wrote an October series called 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses. I share a few of my go-to excuses (and how I’ve gotten over them) in this podcast. Posts mentioned: But I Used to be a . . . . The Biggest Slob Excuse of All (And How I Got Over […]

A Change of Socks for Everyone!!!

October 1, 2014 By Dana White 13 Comments

First, a joke: There once was an army general whose troops were on a losing streak. The men were terribly discouraged. Food was scarce, uniforms were tattered, and they’d been marching for so long that there had been no time to do laundry. The soldiers had been wearing the same underwear . . . for […]

The New Laundry Basket Delusion

September 30, 2014 By Dana White 25 Comments

As I took a photo for yesterday’s post, I re-noticed my oddly shaped laundry basket and laughed. It’s a special laundry basket. It’s rectangular and just the right size and shape to be able to fit TWO on top of my dryer without wasting any space. My mom bought it (and another just like it) […]

The Laundry Day Club

September 29, 2014 By Dana White 27 Comments

I got a comment from one of you over the weekend that made me so happy. It was from a recent Laundry Day Convert. I’ve been following your blog for a while now and I always resisted the idea of a laundry day. I own a front loader which takes at least 1.5 hours (depending […]

My Day in the Wildlife with Dawn

September 26, 2014 By Dana White 16 Comments

About six weeks ago, I got an email from Dawn (the dish soap, not a woman named Dawn) asking me to serve as an ambassador for them this fall in their efforts to highlight the volunteers who work to save wildlife. I don’t usually like to travel without the family, but this part of the […]
