Uncomfortable Subject: Food Waste

February 20, 2018 By Dana White | 21 Comments

Want to feel guilty? Declutter your pantry of expired food. Expired food that legitimately could have fed a hungry child. Ugh. A few weeks ago, when I had a daunting deadline and little brain power in the face of a-thousand-little-things-I-could-do-for-a-book-launch, I headed to my safe and creative space at our local library to get some … [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...]

Strange Organizing Strategies that Work – Storing Food Containers

December 28, 2016 By Dana White | 27 Comments

Does organizing your Tupperware cabinet make you crazy? Do you automatically cover your head every time you open the door to protect yourself from falling food storage containers? I get it. I've totally been there. I arranged and re-arranged and organized and re-organized that space so many times. It seemed that no matter what I did, the mess … [Read more...]

Dealing with Rust Stains on My Stainless Steel Appliances

May 18, 2016 By Dana White | 8 Comments

About four years ago, I got stainless steel appliances. I love them, but they are definitely hard to clean. To clarify, though, I'm not one to notice little smudges here and there so all appliances of any finish or color or type are "hard to clean" for me. I generally don't see any issues until I know a guest is on her way. For the first … [Read more...]

The Great Thing About an Empty Sink

May 3, 2016 By Dana White | 9 Comments

I'm going to sneak an affiliate link in here. You've been warned. I’m not really sure how it happens (again and again and again). And I’m really not sure why the people who make refillable-for-a-discount stuff for movie theaters, amusement parks, etc. can’t make them out of something I could stick in the dishwasher. Anything that holds … [Read more...]

Onions in My Flipflops (And Other Problems Caused by Messy Kitchen Counters)

April 14, 2016 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I was sitting in a meeting. It's wasn't an intense meeting, but it wasn't a take-your-shoes-off-and-figure-out-what's-between-them-and-your-feet meeting, either. As I sat, attempting to concentrate so I wouldn't be incoherent if called upon to give an opinion, I moved my feet in my flipflops. Something was wrong. I'd run out of the … [Read more...]

Time to Go – When the Plate’s Crack Can No Longer Be Pretended Away

March 22, 2016 By Dana White | 2 Comments

I rock at living in denial. I loved these dishes I bought at Pier 1 in my first year of marriage. (Or maybe my mom gave them to me. It's been almost 17 years, y'all.) In the year after I'd received every single piece of the other six sets of dishes I'd included in my bridal registry. Whatever. I'm no longer in denial about my Dish Issues … [Read more...]

It really does just start with clean dishes!

March 20, 2016 By Dana White | 7 Comments

Dana/Nony here: A story from one of you, who (just like me) never thought something as simple as washing the dishes would have such a huge impact:   Thinking back, when I set out to clean the house, the very first thing was the dishes then it migrated to the kitchen and out from there. My dishes have been clean for over a week now and I … [Read more...]

Searching for the Schtank. (Identifying the Nasty Smell in My Fridge)

March 14, 2016 By Dana White | 8 Comments

I'd known there was a problem. I started knowing when I got a whiff one day as I dug through my fridge. I continued knowing when the same kind of whiff happened every time I opened it. I knew something had to be done when I was in the living room and realized someone had opened the fridge because I could smell that same … [Read more...]
