12 Minutes in the Morning – Awkward Pauses Used Well

January 25, 2021 By Dana White | 18 Comments

I used to believe there wasn't a point in working on my house unless I had a chunk of time to spend on it, so I could really make an impact. I was wrong. Using Awkward Pauses to work on established routines has improved my house more than waiting for large chunks of time to open up ever did. Here's a story of using an Awkward Pause: My … [Read more...]

How to Make a To Do List You Can Check Off in Your Notes App

December 30, 2020 By Dana White | 19 Comments

I learned something recently, and I had to share! I've been making to do lists in my iPhone notes app since I've had a notes app, but I didn't know there was a simple trick to turn the to do list into one that can be checked off! This is for iPhone's native notes app that looks like a piece of lined notebook paper with a yellow section at … [Read more...]

The Reality of Handwashing Dishes for a Family of Five

January 6, 2017 By Dana White | 27 Comments

I am one dedicated slob blogger, y'all. Unless you're brand spankin' new around here, you know how I feel about doing the dishes. I don't love it and never will, but I know for a fact (from experience) that doing the dishes is THE thing that will get any house going on its deslobification process. And NOT doing the dishes is (logically) the … [Read more...]

One Good Thing Leads to Another (or Vice Versa)

April 28, 2016 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I've been on a green smoothie kick lately. To the point where I actually crave them. To the point where I made extra to give to a friend who suffers from health problems so she could see if they make her feel better. I don't have health problems, but they make me feel better. She's on a kick now, too. Do you know the most intimidating part of … [Read more...]

Taking a Minute to Straighten the Bathroom Counter (Like, an Actual, Literal, for-real Minute)

March 24, 2016 By Dana White | 15 Comments

"I need to let the plumber into my master bathroom." Little strikes terror into the heart of a slob like those words. Even a vastly-improved slob. A vastly-improved slob whose bathroom had returned to slobbiness while she wrote a book about how to not be such a slob. Anyway, this is the before pic of my bathroom counter: Yowser. … [Read more...]

Struggling Daily with My Daily Struggles

January 4, 2016 By Dana White | 9 Comments

My alarm went off at 4:45 this morning. I wasn't surprised because I turned it on last night. I scrolled to the very top of my alarm app/whatever-it's-called on my phone and slid it on. Just like I do (almost) every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. For three glorious weeks, my workout group, Camp Gladiator, had been on break. Sure, there were … [Read more...]

Using the Awkward Pauses

April 10, 2015 By Dana White | 18 Comments

I don't like awkward pauses. I'm that person who fills the seven-minute-lull in party conversations with sometimes-funny-sometimes-not remarks. This school year has been full of awkward pauses as we haven't been able to develop a rhythm to our days. I'm blaming Junior High. The year started with football before school, leaving the house at 6:30 … [Read more...]

Reality Check 2/16

February 16, 2015 By Dana White | 5 Comments

Last week's Reality Check: I'll start with a possible excuse for not actually posting this on the 16th. The kids will be out of school, so unless it's ready to go and they sleep late (pretty pretty please?), it may not happen. Monday - I got posts scheduled out for the week, which always takes a load off my Blogging Shoulders. Laundry was … [Read more...]

Reality Check 2/9

February 9, 2015 By Dana White | 12 Comments

For the last two weeks, I've posted a reality check on Monday. Who knows if this will keep going, but I like the idea. This week's post has been/will be/is being written over the course of last week. My goal is to write a little blurb for each day to record how the daily stuff goes. Monday - I changed the dinner menu at the last minute … [Read more...]
