Feeding Teenagers in the Summer (What I’ve Done and Am Doing)

May 29, 2018 By Dana White | 26 Comments

Before I start the post, let me assure you that this photo was taken because of its ridiculousness. Right after I took it, we put back all but one box of ramen and re-shopped for better choices.  I have sons who are 14 and 16 and a daughter who is 12. And it's summer. I love summer so much, and I love having my kids home. But they want to … [Read more...]

Two Plates Left

September 2, 2014 By Dana White | 18 Comments

Pre-blog, we depended on paper plates. Lots of 'em. When I forgot to get them at the store, Hubby would start to panic. We used them for survival. Their purpose wasn't to keep us from doing dishes, it was to allow us to eat when all non-paper plates were dirty. Which was a regular occurrence. Once I started doing the dishes every … [Read more...]

Getting Back into the Rhythm After Vacation

July 24, 2014 By Dana White | 11 Comments

We had a glorious time up in cool, crisp Canada last week. This week, we're back in Texas where I'm most definitely not hanging beach towels on the line without streams of sweat pouring off my face. Vacation recovery week is always interesting. I'm working to get back into the routines I need so badly to survive around here. I've run the … [Read more...]

Wise Words from Dr. Huxtable

July 6, 2014 By Dana White | 11 Comments

  My kids are currently obsessed with (affiliate link coming up . . . now) The Cosby Show. I find myself laughing out loud while I’m making dinner and they’re watching in the living room. That show really was a classic. One of Heathcliff’s Fatherly Wisdom Speeches struck me. Theo (my boys’ favorite) had been struggling in math. He … [Read more...]

Surviving Summer 7/1

July 2, 2014 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I had moments of nobleness yesterday. Really, I did. I had plans to do a five-minute pick-up (which with four people actually makes a decent difference), but then time slipped away and I decided to not bother before we headed to the pool. Thankfully, I DID empty and reload the dishwasher, sort laundry and start a load. BUT, just like with … [Read more...]

Summer Checklist 6/16

June 16, 2014 By Dana White | 3 Comments

It’s SUMMER!!! I love this fun and crazy and unscheduled time of year with my kids, but the lack of routine sends my house into chaos! For the summer, I’m focusing on the four simple habits that will keep (or bring) any home out of Disaster Status. Today's report: It's Monday, and I'm in the mood to get back on track. Even so, I find myself … [Read more...]

Surviving Summer 6/12

June 12, 2014 By Dana White | 6 Comments

Yesterday, I was off my rhythm. Which reminded me how incredibly important rhythm is for me. When the timing of my dishwashing routine gets wonky, the kitchen stays out of Disaster Status, but it doesn't look as nice. But I did the dishes. Sometimes, being off the ideal rhythm makes me want to throw in the towel. I think I'll wait until … [Read more...]

First Day of Summer Checklist 6/09

June 10, 2014 By Dana White | 14 Comments

Yesterday (Monday) was our first day of summer. While we were happy to be home and together . . . it wasn't exactly fun. In an effort to catch up AND get ahead, I declared it Cleaning Day and we tackled ALL the major cleaning tasks which we usually spread out over a week. See ALL those scribbles down there at the bottom?? When I sat that's … [Read more...]
