Hope for My Kids??

Last week, as we were barely hanging on in the midst of final-week-of-rehearsals craziness, I was experiencing what you might call . . . despair.

The long … [Read more...]

Dusting with Kids

July 26, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

Last week I shared this picture on Instagram and Facebook.  It was Dusting, Vacuuming and Mopping Day around here.  This kid (who claimed complete exhaustion and likely-devastating-disease in an attempt to get out of participating in DVM Day) changed his tune when he remembered these dusting slippers. So he called dusting.  First . . . and … [Read more...]

Homemade Wipes

July 18, 2012 By Dana White | 25 Comments

I'm a fan of homemade cleaning products.  I'm also a fan of cleaning wipes. So, I combined the two and made homemade wipes!  Perfect for our Summer of Clean Bathroom Cleaning Days as my kids are the ones doing the bulk of the bathroom cleaning around here. Any time I can minimize chemicals that come into contact with my children while … [Read more...]
