Proud Mama of a Declutterer!

I feel like I should get a bumper sticker made.

I experienced a Proud Mama Moment while cleaning my daughter’s room this morning.

(Not that I’m proud of cleaning her room. I’m totally un-proud that I still haven’t mastered the art of getting my kids to keep their rooms clean.)

(Or of keeping my own room clean . . . )

But as I cleaned/de-disasterized her room before our first Brownie meeting here today, I did experience a moment of delight when I looked in her trash can.

She decluttered a headless Barbie. All by herself.

My little girl is growing up!

(We won’t discuss the wrapper for string cheese that is NOT supposed to be in her room!)

232shares 227 0 5 As I worked in the garage recently, sorting through clutter that had magically appeared . . . I found this. It was perfect, but useless. In case your kids aren’t in the booster seat stage, I’ll explain. This is the top portion of a booster seat for the car. When the […]

164shares 159 0 5 This shirt. This shirt. Do you hear the contempt? This shirt has been in my laundry pile THREE WEEKS IN A ROW. Clean. Ooo-hoo-hoo. I can not properly express the loathing I feel toward clean clothes found in my dirty clothes pile. It is one of my Mommy Pet Peeves. I […]

One for One: A Concept that Used to Boggle My Slob Brain

October 9, 2013 By Dana White 56 Comments

1.7Kshares 1.7K 1 64 As I unloaded groceries on Monday, I kept repeating to myself: One for One. This concept used to boggle my mind. I had no idea what it meant or why Organized People all nodded knowingly when it was mentioned. I now understand. I’ve grasped the concept. And yet I still have […]

Rhyme AND Reason – Laundry Day

October 8, 2013 By Dana White 18 Comments

107shares 106 0 1Is “without rhyme or reason” a Texas saying or an everywhere saying? Anyway. I would like to announce to the world that EVEN THOUGH I traveled an hour to a speaking engagement yesterday, shopped for uniform pants for the boy who woke up on our first cold morning having outgrown all warm […]
