If you have kids, did you gather (and gather and then gather some more) stuff to be ready for their arrival? Me too! If you don’t have kids, have you gathered stuff for some future event, just so you will be totally and completely and perfectly ready when it happens?

Most of us around here have done the gathering thing. A lot. I asked Emily to come on the show because she has a crazy story around this subject, and I love her perspective.

Always and Never

October 16, 2018 By Dana White 10 Comments

My mother once told me (once that I remember) to stop saying always and never. Evidently, I said those words often. And incorrectly. I’m sure she made this suggestion after I told an overly dramatic story that didn’t actually meet the qualifications of always and never. Since very few things meet those qualifications. I’m 44 […]

Decluttering In the Midst of Remodeling

September 25, 2018 By Dana White 11 Comments

Over the summer, after a very long pause due to writing my last book, we finally got going on the unfunness of remodeling. We had our popcorn ceilings scraped and repainted, our floors replaced, and most of our rooms repainted. It’s not even what I consider “real” remodeling (knocking down walls and such), but it […]
