From Our Mailbox: Managing by Using Awkward Pauses

November 24, 2015 By Dana White Leave a Comment

From Our Mailbox Managing Using Awkward Pauses at ASlobComesClean.com

From Nony: I love this comment so much from Pauline on my recent podcast about fitting daily tasks into unpredictable schedules. I know so many of my readers struggle with chronic health issues, and I’d love to hear how you make it work in your own home! Here in the U.S., we’re celebrating Thanksgiving this week. The perspectives shared in the posts this week are beautiful examples of women who have chosen to be positive and thankful in the midst of difficult circumstances.

Hi, Dana!

I always love your podcasts!  Just wanted to say that another group of people that would benefit from this way of managing unpredictable schedules is the disabled or chronically ill. (I speak from personal experience here!)  We have good days when we have lots of energy, and many not-so-good days due to serious pain, fatigue, etc. – and of course, can’t plan ahead for that.  Happened to me last week, and just doing what I could in those awkward pauses saved the day – and my sanity!  Bless you for always being so encouraging!

Pauline shares beautiful photos and lovely thoughts on her blog, Little Prairie Home.

Southern Cornbread Dressing Thanksgiving Recipes and My Mom’s New Book!

November 20, 2015 By Dana White 5 Comments

I live in Texas, and my mother is from Oklahoma, so I grew up thinking everyone ate cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving. They don’t. They so don’t. A few years ago, we went on a cruise for Thanksgiving with my husband’s family and though the turkey and mashed potatoes were wonderful, we were all shocked and […]

Crazy Mama to Sane Mama in Less than 24 Hours – Renting a Rug Doctor and Using the Rug Doctor Spot Cleaner (A Sponsored but Necessary Post)

November 15, 2015 By Dana White 44 Comments

It’s a sponsored post, y’all. But unfortunately, the problem I solved was completely naturally occurring. Have you noticed the oh-my-word-can-things-please-stop-happening-I-need-to-write-a-BOOK theme around here lately? Don’t feel bad, my house hasn’t noticed either. I am overwhelmed with the normal aspects of finishing a 60,000 word manuscript, but abnormal things keep happening anyway. Like a few Fridays […]

November 12, 2015 By Dana White 5 Comments

I worked in the garage recently. More than every other room in my home, it attracts Piles o’ Randomness. I was doing the easiest of Easy Stuff and throwing away trash first when I grabbed what looked like an empty grocery bag crammed behind some fishing stuff. But the bag wasn’t empty. I looked inside […]
