One for One: A Concept that Used to Boggle My Slob Brain

October 9, 2013 By Dana White | 54 Comments

As I unloaded groceries on Monday, I kept repeating to myself: One for One. This concept used to boggle my mind. I had no idea what it meant or why Organized People all nodded knowingly when it was mentioned. I now understand. I've grasped the concept. And yet I still have to chant it in my head because it's just sooo unnatural to me. I … [Read more...]

A Huge Moment for this Slob Mama

September 24, 2013 By Dana White | 14 Comments

I have two boys who are ten and eleven. They totally crack me up. Lately, they've been choreographing detailed "wrestling" matches and performing them for the rest of the family. Sunday, as they put on their scheduled pay-per-view (a penny per person) match during half-time of the Cowboys game, I used my fancy new camera to video … [Read more...]

Hubby Did the Laundry!

December 10, 2012 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Last Monday, Hubby was sick.  Sick enough to be home, but not flat-on-his-back-in-bed sick. I spent the day up at the church working on things for the Christmas show. When I finally came home . . . I saw that the laundry was done. Like . . . all the way. Every single pile.       Photo Credit: Tyne & Wear … [Read more...]

Phantom Laundry (And the Laundry Management Method that is Rocking My World)

September 25, 2012 By Dana White | 40 Comments

What do you see when you look at this picture? A couch?  Like . . . just a couch? OK good. That's what I see too. This couch (actually a loveseat) has been invisible, covered in clean laundry for the past ten years.  And we bought it ten years ago.  Which means I've only rarely seen it not covered in clean laundry. I felt the need … [Read more...]

Conviction, Priorities, and Purpose

November 14, 2011 By Dana White | 12 Comments

Loaded title, huh? I wrote out a plan for last week.  It helped. Really, it did. Not that I ever looked at it again or printed it out so I could use a pen to cross things off. It was more about thinking ahead.  Accepting that even though Tuesdays and Wednesdays are taken up with commitments, not letting the other three days just happen … [Read more...]

Letting People into Our Lives, Not Just Into Our Home

May 16, 2011 By Dana White | 23 Comments

  Today is a strange day in my deslobification process. I'm having lots of warm fuzzies over the fact that I have extra laundry to do and am storing a rather large piece of furniture in my garage. I've shared recently that my husband's sister is moving. Moving stinks.   The upheaval, the physical exertion, and the emotional … [Read more...]

How to Start Cleaning Up . . . When You Don’t Know Where to Start

April 19, 2011 By Dana White | 162 Comments

Over the past few months, as I've gotten to the point where many areas of my home are under control more than they ever were pre-blog, I have started cleaning up and organizing areas that are particularly difficult.  Areas where getting started is the hardest part.  Like the Laundry Room. Or the playroom. If you're a regular reader, you've … [Read more...]

Letting Go of Someone Else’s Memories

April 7, 2011 By Dana White | 79 Comments

Sometimes I find myself holding on to memories . . . that aren't even mine. People give me stuff.  They don't want these things in their own homes, but they hate to throw them away or donate their special items to an unknown-possibly-non-appreciative stranger. So they give it to me.  They know how much I love a good story.  They know how … [Read more...]

Is It Irony? Or Is It Just Life?

April 4, 2011 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I do believe that I live a life of irony. At least more than normal people do.  I can rarely answer any question with a one word answer.  There's always some reason for an extra-long explanation. But maybe . . . sometimes . . . I'm being a little overly dramatic.  Perhaps I have a bit of a martyr complex. I mentioned on facebook the other … [Read more...]
