Coming Back to a Detail

October 12, 2011 By Dana White | 9 Comments

Remember last week when I made the choice to deal with sticks instead of clearing off an obviously cluttered shelf in my living room? Remember how I chose the sticks based completely on the assumption that the sticks would be quicker? I was wrong. Today, I dealt with the shelf, and it took all of about a minute. Fine, maybe a little … [Read more...]

Daisy Cupcakes – The Only Detail that Mattered Today

October 11, 2011 By Dana White | 4 Comments

Today . . . was crazy. But I did empty the dishwasher and re-load it to be   run again tonight.  It's that warding-off-disaster thing. Anyway, the majority of my day between getting home from Bible Study and delivering frozen cookie dough that just happened to come in on the day of our first Girl Scout Daisy meeting was spent . . . . … [Read more...]

Today’s Detail: Heels

October 10, 2011 By Dana White | 23 Comments

No, not high-heels as the detail to complete a stylish outfit. Far from it. Heels of bread.  Lots of them.  Each pair in its own individual bread bag, scattered throughout my fridge. There was no school today, so we decided to go on a (cheap) family outing.  We headed to a state park, and wanted to take a picnic lunch.  But I was … [Read more...]

Menu Plan – and a Pesky Little Detail Called Completion

October 9, 2011 By Dana White | 7 Comments

It's over a week into my 31 Days of Details, and honestly . . . today feels like a take-a-nap-while-it's-raining kind of day. But I've promised to notice AND act upon details every day this month. Since it's time to plan my menu anyway, which means thinking about groceries, I thought I'd take care of a pesky little detail that's been bugging … [Read more...]

The One In One Out Rule – It’s a Detail

October 8, 2011 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I got a new travel mug this week. A really cute purple and white one. I brought it home, washed it, and put it immediately in the coffee-mug cabinet.  All in the same day. For me, an accomplishment.  I can't tell you the number of times I've found cutesy stuff in a bag three months after I got it. Anyway, after closing the cabinet door … [Read more...]

Details Like . . . Dirty Laundry in the Kitchen

October 7, 2011 By Dana White | 8 Comments

It's Friday of the first week of 31 Days of Details. Here's my detail for today: It kind of makes me giggle. My kids have recently been re-motivated to keep up with their daily checklists.  Thankfully, I have one who is particularly motivated to motivate the others.  (Born leader, desire to boss others around, concern for his siblings . . … [Read more...]

Decluttering My Breakfast Nook – With Webisode

October 6, 2011 By Dana White | 15 Comments

Today the detail I tackled, was wiping down the counter in my breakfast nook. Sounds simple, right? It's something that should take . . . oh . . . about 2 minutes. But instead it took twenty. Since, y'know, I had to declutter first. Mostly, I threw away trash.  Ads, coupons, spelling tests . . . all went straight into the … [Read more...]

I Said Details . . . Not Decor

October 5, 2011 By Dana White | 9 Comments

Here's where I feel inferior participating in something hosted by The Nester.  I mean, her recent posts about using drawer-less chests and chest-less drawers made my junk-loving crafty-delusional juices flow. Today, I sat at my computer, knowing I needed to get up and find a detail.  Or just look around and find one. My eyes landed on the … [Read more...]

Dead Bugs . . . are Details

October 4, 2011 By Dana White | 10 Comments

It's the fourth day of my series - 31 Days of Details. I have a beautiful window. It lets in light, and I can see who's walking through the neighborhood while I do the dishes. But it is unbelievably inconvenient to clean.  It has a nice little display area that requires me to do a full-body-climb-feet-on-the-sink contortion to get to … [Read more...]
