I used to be a die-hard what's-the-point-of-making-a-bed-when-you're-going-to-get-back-in-it-that-night advocate. I could argue my point, and feel completely justified. But when I started this deslobification process over a year ago, I began by making my bed. (Almost) every morning. I didn't know why, other than . . . that was what normal people … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – Again with the Priorities
So thankful for my daily checklist on days like today. It helps me keep my priorities in line. I'm starting to freak out a little over how much I need to do before the bug man comes on Monday, and pre-daily-checklist, I would have let that be an excuse to ignore the kitchen, bathrooms, whatever. Whenever I get delusional that I've … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist and Day 2 of The Thirty Day Shred – Fitting in a Workout
I'm the queen of excuses. My biggie when it comes to exercising is timing. I require a shower after working out. There is no such thing as fitting in a quick workout between errands. Nope. If this chick is going to sweat (which I tend to do more than the average person), she had better have time for a shower. And if she needs to wash her … [Read more...]

I did the whole thing, unlike a few weeks ago when I "tried to … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist and Party Prep
Friday is my son's birthday party. He'll be 7 next Monday. I throw parties every other year for my kids, and while I do enjoy the stress-free "off" years, I looovvveee the "on" years more. While I don't really shine in the area of housekeeping, party-throwing is right up my alley. My mind gets going with ideas, and I love it. And, of … [Read more...]

Distractible Me – Daily Checklist and Laundry Day
I've made some progress today. It has been one of those days when things click along mostly like they are supposed to, and I have time to do some real deslobbifying. Last night, even though I was tired after our kids' musical at church, I made lunches, put out clothes, started the dishwasher, gathered and sorted laundry, and started the first … [Read more...]
