From The Mailbox: I Got a Complaint, But It Wasn’t From My Family!

August 12, 2014 By Dana White 11 Comments

Oh how this letter from one of you made me giggle!!

Dear Nony,

I have been diligently working to get my house clean and organized before I go back to school in a week. I was so proud to be totally caught up on not only washing the laundry for my family of five but also having PUT ALL OF THE CLOTHES AWAY in closets and drawers where they belong. About 30 minutes after putting away my last items in the master bedroom closet, my husband’s shelf ripped right off of the wall from the weight of all of the clean clothes.

The closet shelves may be complaining about all these clean and put-away clothes, but nobody else in the house is complaining! Thank you for helping me bless my family!

I’m taking the summer off from blogging, but had to share this thing I didn’t even know existed until yesterday. Did you know there are hinges that make doors automatically close? We were spending the day at my best friend’s house yesterday and with 8 kids running around, the doors to the outside were constantly […]

Getting Back into the Rhythm After Vacation

July 24, 2014 By Dana White 12 Comments

We had a glorious time up in cool, crisp Canada last week. This week, we’re back in Texas where I’m most definitely not hanging beach towels on the line without streams of sweat pouring off my face. Vacation recovery week is always interesting. I’m working to get back into the routines I need so badly […]

We all know they’re just trying to fill up an episode without having to write another script. Anyway, this week I’m sharing the ten (or so) posts from the past that […]
