Blog - Page 196 of 307 - Dana K. White: A Slob Comes Clean

Only One More Week in February!

February 22, 2012 By Dana White 13 Comments

NOTE: 28 Days is retired – For detailed guides, check out my books: How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind and Decluttering at the Speed of Life.

Don’t forget that my e-book, 28 Days to Hope for Your Home, is ~~on sale for 4$ through the end of February!~~

Sale is Now Over.

If you’re on the fence about it, I thought I’d share some feedback I’ve received and link to some reviews.

A few comments:

“Bahaha ~ I read it all the way through (though I *DID* stop about halfway through to finish cleaning my kitchen!). I loved this ebook ~ thank you so much for writing it for the rest of the slob population. (I am a bit embarrassed that you described my kitchen for all the world to read about ~ Ha!).”

“I was so struck by your description of what sweeping means for the Slob Brained person. So, SO true!”

“This really is a rehabilitation program for slobs.”

A few reviews:

This review by Cindy of Get Along Home made me cry. (A good cry!) Really, you need to read the entire thing because it paints such a great picture of exactly why I wrote this e-book. Here’s a quote from it – “Dana gently, and with great humor, guides us down the path of neatness slowly, one useful habit at a time. What she teaches in these 51 pages is simple and doable. Even better, it works!”

(By the way, I’m Dana, and evidently putting my real name on the book “cover” made a lot of reviewers decide to use it!)

SAHMmy Says wrote a review and isn’t even affiliate! (Though she should be!) Her review made me giggle and I loved her “normal person” take on the book. Here’s a quote from her: “The beauty of 28 Days to Hope for Your Home is that it’s a keeper: Outstanding information put across in a simple way . . . Read it through. Follow the 28 Day plan. Read it again if you fall off the wagon.”

My fave line from Beretta Fleur’s review, “Her advice is simple, pure genius, and you don’t need to be a full-time housewife to apply it.”

Yes, this is a sales-pitch post. Mostly, though, it’s a reminder post. If you’ve thought about buying the e-book, maybe reading one of these reviews will help you decide if it’s for you.

And really, I needed a place to put links to reviews so my mom can go read them.

Here are some more, Mom:

Mama’s Laundry Talk

Giving Up on Perfect

Feels Like Home

And there are others! If you’ve written a review, feel free to leave the link in the comments!

Just so you know, if you click over to read a review and it happens to be the one that talks you into chunking over four dollars . . . use their link and they’ll get a 50% commission. That would just tickle me pink! I love my affiliates!

Breaking the Clutter-Guilt Cycle

February 21, 2012 By Dana White 51 Comments

I’ve written about how I had to get over the guilt of decluttering things that were given/handed-down to me. I’ve accepted it as the givEE. But what about as the givER? What about when it’s my daughter wanting to get rid of something I gave her? My daughter loves-like-a-mommy all of her (many) dolls. When […]

DIY Furniture Moving Sliders {Cheap Organizing Tricks}

February 20, 2012 By Dana White 19 Comments

Sometimes . . . decluttering/organizing requires furniture-moving. Sometimes . . . the motivation to move furniture hits when big, strong (handsome and hairy) men aren’t available to help. Everytime . . . motivation related to decluttering/organizing must not be stifled. It’s just too elusive. When I need to move furniture, I place glossy gift-bags under […]

Big Things Going On in the Gameroom

February 16, 2012 By Dana White 20 Comments

Did you notice how I called it “The Gameroom” without any slashes, parentheses, or other explanation? I’m doing my best to start thinking of this as a single purpose room that can adjust to other purposes when needed. This is the second week of work on this room-overhaul, and I’m ready to see some real […]

Laundry Day’s Most Important Step

February 15, 2012 By Dana White 12 Comments

Last week, I finally caught up on laundry. After Christmas-break-craziness and a January of e-book-tunnel-vision, my Laundry Loveseat was finally back to being . . . just a loveseat. All it took was one Family Folding Night. And the kids didn’t mind at all helping with the folding and putting away. Actually, I’m just assuming […]

How I Store Plastic Food Containers

February 14, 2012 By Dana White 33 Comments

(I’m teaming up with some other bloggers today to talk about . . . kitchens!) As someone who could create a graph of my life showing a way-too-sharp upward spike in plastic food containers followed by a way-too-gradual downward decline . . . I’ve learned a thing or two about how to store them. For […]

Pre-Made Decisions

February 13, 2012 By Dana White 20 Comments

The lovely Lenetta used to often remind me that clutter is made up of “unmade decisions.” So true. Lately, I’ve been thinking about pre-made decisions. What things can I decide ahead of time will be pitched in the trash? Well, for one . . . pantyhose with big ol’ runs in them. I just tossed […]
