All I Wanted to Do Was Take a Funny Picture . . .

December 9, 2015 By Dana White | 4 Comments

Really. I just wanted a laugh from Hubby. I was going to send him a sneakily taken picture of this cutie-patootie: I was going to say something like: This is why I don't eat food that I left in the living room, even just for a second. The picture I couldn't quite get was of her shamelessly chowing down on what was left of my lunch within … [Read more...]

The Nose. It Knows.

January 8, 2013 By Dana White | 8 Comments

With yesterday came the return of routine. Since Thanksgiving, we had been pretty routine-free around here.  Some of that was because of crazy heart/soul/mind/energy-consuming things like traveling and directing plays and writing e-books and such. And then there were those little things called "Christmas" and "New Year." I mean, who cleans … [Read more...]

My Weekly House Cleaning Tasks – With a Printable Version

October 6, 2010 By Dana White | 40 Comments

  I'm on a journey. Although in my 36 years, I have awakened many, many times with a resolve to change my slobbish ways . . . that resolve did little to clean my house. I had to clean it myself. And keep it clean. Learning skills and letting them build on one another is what has made the difference. For the first six months … [Read more...]

My Vacuum Cleaner’s New Frontier

April 30, 2010 By Dana White | 2 Comments

It's Friday . . . so I dusted and vacuumed.  In the past two months or so of this new Task-a-Day thing, I've developed a bit of a method for vacuuming my house.   Since all the main areas of the house have hardwood floors, I go through first with the broom and get the corners and edges swept out into the middle of the floor.  Then I can vacuum … [Read more...]

Mopping Again . . . Already?

April 15, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I did something crazy this morning. Even though I have a perfectly good excuse to not do Thursday's task of mopping on the days when I have my Moms' Group meeting at 9 am, I guess I felt reckless and . . . . I mopped anyway. And I was done at 8:45. A.M.!!! And guess what? Even though I mopped last week, ONLY last week, the water . . . was … [Read more...]

My Weekly Tasks

April 14, 2010 By Dana White | 10 Comments

It's Wednesday. I'm rushed for time. Same old story as every Wednesday. So since I haven't been home and therefore haven't made any progress, I thought I'd share my weekly tasks and how they're working for me, all together in one post. Here goes: Monday - Laundry. Tuesday - Bathrooms. Wednesday - Out all day, but I do my grocery … [Read more...]

Reworking my Laundry Routine . . . Again

February 22, 2010 By Dana White | 16 Comments

Laundry and I are not on the best of terms. I feel that he/she/it is is needy, high-maintenance, never satisfied, ungrateful, and constantly undermining any efforts I make. I've tried. Really I have. I added it to my list of daily non-negotiable tasks a very long time ago. I even gave it several weeks of focus, trying to come up with a way … [Read more...]

Timed Myself Cleaning Again . . . Not the Results I Expected

February 19, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

Last month, I timed myself cleaning each of the main rooms of the house. It had been a pretty rough week and I felt like I was starting "behind" in each room. I said then that I should do the same thing during a week when I felt like I had been doing pretty well. So today, I again timed myself cleaning each room. I thought that the house was in … [Read more...]
