My Little Girl’s Room Is Organized . . . Am I on a Roll Here?

March 27, 2011 By Dana White | 43 Comments

I shared on Friday that after being so proud of myself for organizing the garage, I ended up in a funk when the very next day, a desperate search for tap shoes made me unable to deny that my daughter's room had . . . once again . . . ended up in a state of chaos. Bigtime chaos. Such bigtime chaos and such a bigtime funk that I didn't even … [Read more...]

No Time for Fruit Salad

March 2, 2011 By Dana White | 6 Comments

___________________________________________ I remember the look on his face. His always-supportive, generally-understanding, unconditionally-loving face. He was consciously, and with great effort, keeping the muscles from contorting into a look of disbelief.  He was using every ounce of compassion to keep from glancing in the direction of … [Read more...]

A Tale Of Two Houses – Part One: My Clutter History

August 12, 2010 By Dana White | 20 Comments

Last weekend, the kids spent two nights living it up with my mother-in-law, so we went to dinner with some old college friends of mine, and then saw their new house.They know about the blog.   It only made sense to tell them . . . since they are fully aware of my, ahem . . . issues.As theatre people, we were together pretty much … [Read more...]

Accepting How I Learn

April 27, 2010 By Dana White | 101 Comments

  First, let me clarify a few things. 1. Flylady is awesome.  When people ask me for advice here, I try to make it clear that I'm no expert when it comes to cleaning, organizing, etc. and I generally send them her way.  If you want to know what it takes to get your house under control, she's your woman.  And she'll tell you exactly … [Read more...]

Mopping Again . . . Already?

April 15, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I did something crazy this morning. Even though I have a perfectly good excuse to not do Thursday's task of mopping on the days when I have my Moms' Group meeting at 9 am, I guess I felt reckless and . . . . I mopped anyway. And I was done at 8:45. A.M.!!! And guess what? Even though I mopped last week, ONLY last week, the water . . . was … [Read more...]

My Home Is Not The Stage

March 24, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

If you read regularly, you may have noticed that every Wednesday, I get behind. Wednesdays are my day to leave the house early and go to Bible Study, run errands, etc. So my focus is not my home, because I'm not in it. When it comes to home organization, I'm very much an out-of-sight - out-of-mind kind of girl. Hence the fiasco that is my … [Read more...]

Can We Survive With Only ONE Skillet????

February 4, 2010 By Dana White | 19 Comments

This morning I took a deep breath and asked: "So honey, how's it working to only have one skillet?" A few weeks ago I cleared out the cabinets in the kitchen. I got rid of quite a few pots and pans, mostly the ones whose non-stick coating was starting to look, well, dangerous. We used to have at least 4 skillets. This doesn't count the two … [Read more...]

Racing the Clock

January 22, 2010 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Before I start, I'll let you know that I just called my best friend to get her permission to tell this story. Thankfully, she's one of the three "real life" people (other than my husband) who know about my blog. When we were in college, she took a home-ec class. In it, she had an assignment to estimate the time it would take for each step of … [Read more...]

I’m not Disabled

January 13, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

My thumb hurts. Really bad. With the dry weather, my skin is cracking and this place on my thumb is split open, bleeding, and painful. But I'm not disabled. You just don't think about how much you use your thumb. I feel like I'm hitting it on everything. Trying to take notes at Bible study this morning, I had to hold my pen funny to be able to … [Read more...]

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
