Curing My Writer’s Block – By Cleaning

June 29, 2011 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I started this blog as an accountability/keep-myself-focused-on-my-house thing. In general, it works. It's hard to justify writing about cleaning when your house isn't clean. Hard, but not impossible. This week is our church's Vacation Bible School.  It's a crazy week, but the kids absolutely love it.  They're so excited that I'm acting … [Read more...]

My Christmas Eve To Do List

December 24, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

Other than flying by too quickly, this has been a lovely week.  We've had a nice mix of piddling around the house and going and doing fun things.  I've had a few gifts to search out, but overall it has been great. The kind of week after which I've heard normal people say, "It's been so nice and relaxing.  My house is actually clean!" With me … [Read more...]

In Survival Mode

May 12, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

This week has been so much better than last week. Still, it's a little wild. Yesterday and today were spent completely away from home, running errands, going to the final Bible Study of the year and an impromptu lunch out with friends, grocery shopping in a hurry because the lunch went long . . . Housework? What's that? So, in an attempt to … [Read more...]

Keeping Focus

May 7, 2010 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Last summer, before I had the idea to start this blog, I found the book Sidetracked Home Executives(TM): From Pigpen to Paradise at a garage sale. I knew that it was the book that inspired Flylady, and so I picked it up. I enjoyed the book, even though I skipped over the chapter on how to actually get organized. I was so overwhelmed with my own … [Read more...]

How to Trick Your Slob

April 21, 2010 By Dana White | 15 Comments

I'm not a fan of Where's Waldo? I don't like those "Find 15 things that are different in these two pictures" type of games.  I have hope when I find 6, but lose focus around 8. When someone asks me to go into another room and get the ____, even if they say exactly where it's supposed to be, I totally revert to feeling like a child and panic a … [Read more...]

Bathrooms and Budgets

March 15, 2010 By Dana White | 8 Comments

We went to see Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover Live recently. I've mentioned him before, and I know he's quite the popular guy here in the blogosphere. We've read his book and I listen to his radio show most days, so I already had a pretty good understanding of the concepts he teaches, but it was nice, and inspiring, to hear it all … [Read more...]

Swept Along

March 10, 2010 By Dana White | 1 Comment

I'm feeling that "swept along" feeling I get on a busy day. Things are normally busy on Wednesdays, but when you add a few extras in, even good extras, I start to feel like I'm moving along through the day without actually being in control of where I'm going or how fast I'm moving. On days like today, I see the real difference between having a … [Read more...]

Laundry – Week 3 – Adjusting to Changes in Routine

March 8, 2010 By Dana White | 19 Comments

I'm generally home on Mondays. Generally. Translated - Usually. Most often. Probably. Should be. So, if you ask me if I can guarantee that I'll be home on Monday, I'll have to say "No, I can't guarantee it." But if you ask me if I can guarantee that after one week, will there be at least 35 pairs of dirty underwear in my house . . . I can … [Read more...]
