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

May 29, 2018 By Dana White | 27 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...]

Teaching Kids to do Laundry – (Laundry Day Lesson Plan)

June 28, 2012 By Dana White | 5 Comments

Thanks to Discount Cleaning Products for sponsoring June's posts in this series! I shared earlier this week that I'm in survival mode.  It's VBS week combined with get-ready-to-fly-across-the-country-with-three-kids week. Waaaahhhhhh!!!! So, since I don't have any progress to report, I'll share my Laundry Day Lesson Plan from Teaching … [Read more...]

Age Appropriate Laundry Tasks for Kids

June 20, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

My goal is always to let/have kids do as much as they are truly capable of!  Here are some age-appropriate laundry task ideas.  I'd love to hear your ideas! All ages : Gather and sort laundry. Turn clothes right side out. Pull laundry from the dryer into a laundry basket. Toddlers: Throw (literally, especially if they’re boys) … [Read more...]

Teaching Kids to Fold Laundry

June 18, 2012 By Dana White | 33 Comments

It's a big day around here. I don't know if you've noticed, but I've never actually shown my kids.  I know most bloggers do, and it's not that I'm against it, but this blog has been about me and my issues and not really about them. But . . . since Teaching Kids to Clean is the theme around here this summer, I've enlisted them to make some … [Read more...]

Teaching Kids to Clean Bathrooms

June 11, 2012 By Dana White | 6 Comments

Bathrooms are my personal least favorite space to clean. They are, however, one of the most important to keep clean. The good thing about bathrooms is that cleaning is fairly straightforward.  There aren’t as many decisions to be made or judgment calls as with laundry. The bad thing about bathrooms is that . . . they’re disgusting.  Or … [Read more...]

Making Laundry Day Fun . . . ?

June 7, 2012 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I've been busily returning emails and Facebook messages for my early morning blogging time.  Now the kids are up, and it's time to go be Mama.  I thought I'd share these ideas from my new e-book as today's post.  If you have other ideas for making laundry fun, please tell us about them in the comments! And don't forget - tomorrow is Weekly … [Read more...]

Jumping Right In (Wherever That May Be)

June 6, 2012 By Dana White | 14 Comments

I dream of one day being the perfect example of a reformed slob who never again experiences the how-exactly-did-that-space-get-so-messy-AGAIN phenomenon that's so common in my life. I've realized that may never happen. I now know what causes these messes, how to prevent them, and that it's not the end of the world when they happen. But I … [Read more...]

Obvious Progress

June 5, 2012 By Dana White | 11 Comments

See those (obviously) winter coats and jackets hanging from my ever-so-cute hooks right inside the door? Yeah . . . I didn't. At least I didn't see them until about a week ago.  Even though temps have been hitting 90 for about a month now. So yesterday, as we did our first Summer Laundry Day and attempted to remove everything winter or … [Read more...]

Three Reasons We Pay our Kids for Chores

November 8, 2011 By Dana White | 10 Comments

It's a controversial subject, right?  And here I'm going to spout off a list of reasons? Believe me, I experienced the parental angst too. The guilt over the possibility that by tying money to things like teeth-brushing, bed-making, and undie-in-the-laundry-hamper-depositing, we would create an entitlement mindset in which our children would … [Read more...]
