Fair warning: I shall include an affiliate link or three within this post. That's just how I roll. First, if you don't have a dishwasher, I'm sorry. But read this post about the realities of dishwashing that still apply when you don't have a dishwasher. If you do have a dishwasher, but find yourself frustrated that it doesn't perform the … [Read more...]
Let Me Straighten Up a Little First
Note: This is that out-of-order post I warned you about on Friday. I'm working on my book edits this week, so I'm just glad I had this post "in the can" to use while I shut out the world and try to make my upcoming book the very best it can possibly be. Sorry for any redundancy! People coming over, kids included, means I like to take … [Read more...]
Do You Pre-Cook and Freeze Your Meet in Bulk? Tell Me Your Experience!
Dana is in the last weeks of writing her book. And she needs YOU, her "Slob Club," to help her out! If you have discovered the thrill of streamlining your meal planning and getting supper on the table for your family by pre-cooking, big-batch-cooking, freezing your chicken and ground meat, would you please tell her about it? You … [Read more...]
When You Have to Run It Anyway
I don’t make a decision about running the dishwasher every night. I can’t. I don’t trust myself to make the right one. Removing this decision means I view those leftover spots in my not-quite-full dishwasher differently. They’re not reasons to not run it (because I don’t get to make that decision). They’re reasons to look for other things to … [Read more...]
So, A Place for Everything But Not ALWAYS Everything In Its Place? Huh.
That’s a how-interesting-so-that’s-the-way-it-works kind of “huh.” Not a Texan version of “Pardon me?” I love (affiliate link alert) my dishwand. I’ve blabbed about it already this week. And I really love using my favorite mug to keep it clean and dry and out from under dishes in the sink. But alas, about three weeks after … [Read more...]
My Must-Have Kitchen Cleaning Tool
I'm so going to stick an affiliate link in this post. Just sit back and watch it happen. I love this tool. I’ve mentioned that before. But lately, I’ve solved the one problem that keeps messing it up for me. While I love my dishwasher and running it every single night is THE thing that keeps my kitchen under control (and the kitchen being … [Read more...]
Routines as a Thing to Catch Up To
Before we begin, allow me to address all current/former English teachers/grammar nerds. I was one of you. I have purposely chosen to use artistic license in the title of this post. "Routines as the Things Up to Which I Catch" doesn't have the same ring to it. And now I'm questioning the pluralization of "routines." See how it never ends? I'm … [Read more...]
My Special Circumstances (for Today)
Monday morning, my husband drank his coffee out of a cereal bowl. To be fair (to my slob self), our cereal bowls do have handles and could technically be called really big mugs. But still . . . I hadn't washed dishes since last Friday. I know. I KNOW I have to do dishes. I KNOW it is the habit upon which the state of my home … [Read more...]
Two Very Different Women Who Cooked for Their Families
This post contains affiliate links alongside totally free inspiration. When my husband and I got married, things were pretty smooth that first year. I'd heard horror stories from newlyweds about adjusting to living together, but we got lucky. I think part of it was that we were so grateful to be together after our opposite-sides-of-the-world … [Read more...]
