No More Easter Grass! We Don’t Want Easter Grass!

April 5, 2012 By Dana White 53 Comments

No More Easter Grass! We Don't Want Easter Grass! use tissue paper at ASlobComesClean.com

Did you read that as a chant of protest?

Because that’s how it went in my head.

I despise Easter grass, so this year I’m fighting back by . . . not having any.

Except that the purpose of Easter grass is to be filler.  So, to take up lots of space, I’m using:

Tennis balls.  The boys are heading into baseball season and we won’t let them bat in the front yard (for fear of broken windows) unless they’re using tennis balls.

For my daughter?  A pool float.  Folded, it takes up a good amount of basket space, and it’s something she’ll need soon anyway.

My back-up plan?  Colorful tissue paper.  Big sheets that can be thrown away in one wadded-up-handful instead of lurking under couches and in corners for the next three months.

 

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Traction

April 4, 2012 By Dana White 4 Comments

No time to write today.  I’m working hard on our church’s Easter morning service which involves drama this year. But . . . I did want to be sure I mention that today is technically the last day of the 3$ e-book sale using the code SPRING. NOTE: “28 Days” is now in retirement, but […]

Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

April 3, 2012 By Dana White 13 Comments

We’re not a dessert-every-single-night family. Not that my kids (especially my born-persistent five year old) don’t ask for it every night. So, when Mama’s in the mood for a little something special to finish off the meal, everyone gets excited!  The easiest way I know to bring about those smiles is to slice whatever fruit […]

Cut Off from My Safety Net

April 2, 2012 By Dana White 4 Comments

No, my dear gutter-minded reader, that is not a scarf hanging on the doorknob for the stereotypical sitcom reasons. (We have a lock for that.) The scarf was hanging on the door because yesterday afternoon, Hubby wasn’t feeling well and needed to rest.  At the same time, I was busy picking up the house for […]

Monday Night Supper (and a 3 Day $3 e-book sale)

April 1, 2012 By Dana White 10 Comments

I know there are many people who survive in the kitchen by serving certain meals on certain days of the week. Generally, we don’t do this, but lately Monday has become our Chicken and Veggies night. After our Two Weeks of Only Fruits and Veggies a while back, we decided to make at least one […]

March Decluttering Report

March 30, 2012 By Dana White 13 Comments

It’s the end of March. How exactly did that happen? Since it’s Friday, I’ll go ahead and report on my decluttering efforts for the month even though there’s a whole day left.  (If I happen to declutter something tomorrow, I’ll add it to next month’s report.) My decluttering progress: I JUST DECLUTTERED in the boys’ […]

The Money Saving Mom’s Budget Audiobook Review

March 29, 2012 By Dana White 8 Comments

Money Saving Mom was the first blog I ever read.  I didn’t even know what blogs were when I found hers. For me, her site opened up the world of writing-on-the-internet-in-a-format-that-people-might-actually-read. When the opportunity came up to review the audio version of her new book, The Money Saving Mom’s Budget, I was excited to do […]

Impending Danger

March 28, 2012 By Dana White 22 Comments

Occasionally . . . I iron. Occasionally. I do automatically know where to look to find the iron, but evidently I don’t know to automatically put it away. I’d guess even normal people do that with some things. But what makes me the most crazy is when I consciously say to myself (multiple times over […]

One Good Excuse: Maintaining the Illusion

March 27, 2012 By Dana White 13 Comments

We do Santa. We’re not die-hard put-footprints-on-the-roof types, but we love the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve wondering what  we’ll find when we get up in the morning. My 8yo straight-out asked me last Christmas Eve if Santa was real (he’d lived in denial for several years), and so now my five-year-old […]
