A Container LightBulb Moment

The Container Concept a Lightbulb Moment decluttering at ASlobComesClean.com

I loved this picture and note that Angie shared on my Facebook page SOOO much that I just had to share it here!

Nony, I just had to share this with you and would like to thank you for introducing the concept of CONTAINER into my slob brain!

This is a picture of my son’s dresser.

container lightbulb moment at ASlobComesClean

All of the drawers are full and all of those clothes piled on top are no longer tormenting me since I now understand that I don’t have to over stuff as many shirts as I can into the dresser or find unused corners of his room to put too many pairs of underwear! The dresser is made for containing actually more clothes than he needs in the first place (he’s only 7 for crying out loud), so all of those extra clothes on top are getting donated!

When I asked her if I could share, she said:

Yes please use it! Also, see that bookshelf there to the left? I spent ALLLLL day yesterday making sure that this shelf actually CONTAINED the books that fit on it! I got rid of more than a half of a trash bag full of books that were stuffed in and around that thing. CONTAINER is making sense! I can’t believe it!

I’m so excited to see this life-changing concept in action!! Go Angie!!

One Thing You Should NOT Put in Your Dishwasher

November 24, 2013 By Dana White 36 Comments

331shares 307 0 24This post contains one little ol’ Amazon affiliate link. As you know, I’m an Anti-Pre-Wash-Ite. I get a thrill from putting stuff like this in my dishwasher: Even my converted-from-pre-washing husband questioned my sanity, but it came out perfectly clean and totally chocolate-cake-less. BUT . . . one thing you should never […]

Putting My Best Food/Foot Forward

November 21, 2013 By Dana White 4 Comments

113shares 110 0 3 Confession: That picture above is what my freezer looked like the day before Paula came to my house. With excessive explanation, I could have pointed out the homemade meatballs in the freezer bag. I could have blathered on about the attempt at homemade smoothie mixes that really needed to be thrown […]

Cleaning Out the Pantry (Again)

November 19, 2013 By Dana White 17 Comments

153shares 41 0 112 I’m a declutterer, not an organizer. You know that, right? One of the best things I ever did in this deslobification process was to realize that. I always thought I needed to get organized. Organizing (in my mind) meant finding a way to keep all my stuff under control. A way […]
