At the Very (Like, VERY, Very) Least, Run the Dishwasher

December 3, 2015 By Dana White | 4 Comments

THE BOOK IS DONE!!! (At least this first phase is done. I’ll hear back about edits hopefully soon.) I’m loving getting back to “just” blogging (like I ever “just” blog), and went through some files looking for posts I started writing in the midst of the Book Writing Crazy Period but never finished. I’m sharing this one, as I feel the fact that … [Read more...]

Cleaning In the Midst of a Mess

May 1, 2014 By Dana White | 37 Comments

If you've read the blog the whole way through, or even if you've just been around a while . . . you have likely noticed a recurring theme. Nony likes projects, but projects give her tunnel vision. Tunnel vision means Nony's house gets messy*. Again. *Messy: Grocery bags on the kitchen floor, TV trays left out until no one can remember the … [Read more...]

How to Read Your Kindle in the Bathtub

March 2, 2014 By Dana White | 55 Comments

You can always count on me for amazingly useful information, right? Anyway . . . I thought I'd share a lovely little trick I've been using. I didn't come up with it, though. A woman at our pool does this in the summer, but I never thought much about it until I was wishing I could read my new Kindle in the bathtub. I stuck it in a gallon-sized … [Read more...]

How to Make Medicine Dosing Easier for Grandparents

August 16, 2012 By Dana White | 12 Comments

For perhaps the first time ever (gross exaggeration possible), I sent the kids to their grandma's house yesterday and didn't have to worry about sending an ice-chest with must-be-refrigerated medicine. We're generally (and thankfully) healthy around here, but it seems like the last half of any anti-biotic falls during a trip. When that trip … [Read more...]

Making It Look Like I Haven’t Cleaned

July 30, 2012 By Dana White | 22 Comments

We all know I have issues, right? Good. On Friday . . . when I should have been basking in a kid-free morning while the kids were at my mom's house, I was cleaning. I'd been putting off any and all cleaning tasks all week under the assumption that I was going to start feeling better the next day. Except that I felt worse each day than I … [Read more...]

How to Not Have to Check Gift Card Balances

January 11, 2012 By Dana White | 15 Comments

Don't just look at the picture.  Read the whole post. Because I've gotten even smarter since I came up with this really smart idea. Gift cards have come a long way in the past ten years.  First, they changed to cards instead of certificates, and now you can even give a credit-card-based giftcard that will allow the recipient to use it … [Read more...]

How to Package and Freeze Chicken Purchased in Bulk

October 30, 2011 By Dana White | 28 Comments

Freezing chicken is a detail? Ummmm, yeah . . . it's a detail.  A detail that stinks like nothing you've ever smelled if you don't tackle it when it needs to be tackled. Last weekend, while I was off gallivanting with college theatre pals, a friend picked up my Zaycon chicken and then hubby stuck it in the fridge.  I had warned him to NOT put … [Read more...]

A Summer Version of My Kids’ Daily Checklist

May 30, 2011 By Dana White | 5 Comments

As I've been looking forward to summer, I have evaluated the success of last year's Summer of Clean. My kids learned valuable life skills and gained an understanding of what is required to keep a home clean.  It was far more successful than any of the other quickly-abandoned-summer-housekeeping-plans we've tried. Overall, it went well. But … [Read more...]

Storing Favorite Recipes

May 10, 2011 By Dana White | 20 Comments

  Mmmmm . . . no.  That's not a before picture. Oh.  You thought . . . Because of the . . . . Well this is a little uncomfortable.   Today I'm sharing an idea.  One that works well for me.  For my brain that tends to think I've found the Perfect Place to store something, but then can't remember where that Perfect Place … [Read more...]
