Where Would You Look OTHER Than There?

February 13, 2017 By Dana White | 21 Comments

My first decluttering question is: If I was looking for this item, where would I look for it first? Would. Not should. No decisions need to be made. No analysis of the very best home for this particular thing. The home is where I would look first. The best thing about this question is that I can use it on my family members if it's an … [Read more...]

Small Victories! KNOWing I’ll Be Able to Find Something!

November 30, 2015 By Dana White | 3 Comments

Our new voter registration cards came in the mail last week. I knew exactly where I should put them. That's a big deal, y'all. The key? Where I should put them. I. Not someone. Definitely not the best place to keep voter registration cards. I answered my seriously-it's-too-simple decluttering question: Where would I look for it … [Read more...]

So, A Place for Everything But Not ALWAYS Everything In Its Place? Huh.

September 30, 2015 By Dana White | 12 Comments

  That’s a how-interesting-so-that’s-the-way-it-works kind of “huh.” Not a Texan version of “Pardon me?” I love (affiliate link alert) my dishwand. I’ve blabbed about it already this week. And I really love using my favorite mug to keep it clean and dry and out from under dishes in the sink. But alas, about three weeks after … [Read more...]

My Must-Have Kitchen Cleaning Tool

September 27, 2015 By Dana White | 37 Comments

I'm so going to stick an affiliate link in this post. Just sit back and watch it happen. I love this tool. I’ve mentioned that before. But lately, I’ve solved the one problem that keeps messing it up for me. While I love my dishwasher and running it every single night is THE thing that keeps my kitchen under control (and the kitchen being … [Read more...]

How A Busy Mama Crafter Is Whipping the WIPs (in 5 Steps)

July 8, 2014 By Dana White | 17 Comments

{Editor's Note:  Today we have a guest post from Emily Chapelle at So D*mn Domestic.  She has set up 6 different houses in 7 years of military moves so she knows a thing or two about having stuff, maintaining it and decluttering what you don't need... even if she is a crafter with the corresponding crafter's stash!}   You know what WIPs … [Read more...]

Organizing Systems Don’t (Do the) Work

July 7, 2011 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I've purged. I've figured things out. I've established routines. And yet, there are still days when I could totally qualify for "one of those" shows.  The ones where they take before pictures and viewers are horrified.  Then a heroic organizer comes in and establishes wonderful systems that will forever change the person's life. Many … [Read more...]

The Getting Out is Fun; The Putting Back . . . Not So Much

June 30, 2011 By Dana White | 2 Comments

I've shared that this week has been a crazy-fun week of VBS at our church.  My duties include acting in silly skits and taking pictures for each day's PowerPoint slide show of the story. Both of which involve . . . props. As a former Theatre teacher, and continual small-time-drama person, I love props. For years, they were a great … [Read more...]

Thinking Things Through

October 18, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

If I'm gonna . . . fail to make my bed because it's Saturday and that somehow seems to justify laziness . . . I probably shouldn't . . . . fall asleep while reading, using all of the wadded up blanket for warmth. Especially if . . . . it's now fall and the nights are getting cool. And extra especially if . . . . I haven't yet … [Read more...]

Losing Things . . . Losing My Mind

June 21, 2010 By Dana White | 9 Comments

My husband used to know where to find his keys at any given moment.Then he married me.The most frustrating thing about being a slob is my tendency to lose things.  "Tendency" really isn't a strong enough word.  If I had the brain power right now, I'd think of a word to fit that sentence that could be defined as "sure thing."  I have … [Read more...]
