Breaking the Clutter-Guilt Cycle

February 21, 2012 By Dana White | 50 Comments

I've written about how I had to get over the guilt of decluttering things that were given/handed-down to me. I've accepted it as the givEE. But what about as the givER?  What about when it's my daughter wanting to get rid of something I gave her? My daughter loves-like-a-mommy all of her (many) dolls.  When she decides she's okay  parting … [Read more...]

It Could Happen to Anyone

February 8, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Sometimes (okay, lots of times), I get a little over-dramatic when I find a mess somewhere that is extra sticky or extra embarrassing. I tend to say things like, "WHY oh WHY do these things happen to ME!?!?!!" I take messes personally. But I'm not taking this mess personally. A little over a week ago, I was unplugging my phone so I … [Read more...]

Big Spender

January 9, 2012 By Dana White | 17 Comments

I had one hundred dollars to spend. Do you know how much stuff this deal-lovin' mama can get for one hundred dollars? After Christmas, I had a one hundred dollar department store gift card burning a hole in my purse.  My mind started to buzz with ideas of what I could do with that money. In the past, I've been known to hit the sales with a … [Read more...]

The Doorbell is My Friend

September 21, 2011 By Dana White | 1 Comment

Two years ago (almost exactly), I volunteered to host a Sunday evening home group for our church. As in, every single Sunday. As in, people coming into my home . . . every single Sunday. It was a risk, but I had been at the deslobification thing for about a month at that point, and I had hope that maybe I could handle it.  And I knew that … [Read more...]

How to Clean Up Your House When the Doorbell ISN’T Scheduled to Ring

August 26, 2011 By Dana White | 7 Comments

So, I've been at this slob-blogging thing for two years. I'm pretty sure that I will never write a boy-it-feels-great-to-have-it-all-together post for a blogiversary . . . since my blogiversary will always fall during the first week of school. Which is also the first week after the routine-free summer (which I LOVE) comes to an end.  It's … [Read more...]

Maybe My Slob-Brain Is Changing?

June 16, 2011 By Dana White | 8 Comments

  I love dishes. Specifically, blue dishes. Solid blue, blue and white, blue accented with some other color, some other color accented with blue. Love 'em. For the past few years though, I've started wondering if blue dishes weren't quite the style anymore. (Wondering, because I didn't care to research it.)  But then, a few … [Read more...]

Big Thing In, Big Thing Out

May 17, 2011 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Waaaaay back, like six months ago, when my Sister in Law put her house on the market, I started dreaming about her couch.   Her red one. It would look fantastic in MY living room, and then I could move our current couch into the office/gameroom and the daybed from there into my daughter's room . . . . and so on and so forth. She has now … [Read more...]

Letting People into Our Lives, Not Just Into Our Home

May 16, 2011 By Dana White | 23 Comments

  Today is a strange day in my deslobification process. I'm having lots of warm fuzzies over the fact that I have extra laundry to do and am storing a rather large piece of furniture in my garage. I've shared recently that my husband's sister is moving. Moving stinks.   The upheaval, the physical exertion, and the emotional … [Read more...]

How to Start Cleaning Up . . . When You Don’t Know Where to Start

April 19, 2011 By Dana White | 161 Comments

Over the past few months, as I've gotten to the point where many areas of my home are under control more than they ever were pre-blog, I have started cleaning up and organizing areas that are particularly difficult.  Areas where getting started is the hardest part.  Like the Laundry Room. Or the playroom. If you're a regular reader, you've … [Read more...]
