All Ready For Fun

April 9, 2010 By Dana White | 2 Comments

We have the cousins spending the night tonight. 3 kids plus 2 more does not increase the noise factor to only 5. More like 20.So this morning, I did my normal kitchen clean-up, and then decided to go pick up the rest of the house before leaving, so you know, there wouldn't be too many gasps from the cousins whose mother always keeps her home … [Read more...]

So Glad to Have a Daily Checklist

April 5, 2010 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I often blame my chaotic home, scatter-brainedness, lack of ability to organize paper clutter, etc. etc. etc. on my creativity. I'm probably flattering myself, but I've decided to be okay with that delusion.I love getting in the creative "zone." Ideas start flying and everything else disappears as my focus zeroes in on whatever project I'm working … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist – My Dr. Pepper Sippy Cup

March 30, 2010 By Dana White | 11 Comments

First of all, let me say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" for all of your encouraging comments yesterday. Yes, I did beg for them, and I feel a tiny bit guilty about that, but I am mostly just incredibly energized by them. It helps so much to know that I am not the only one out there who struggles to keep my home out of chaos. Out in the world … [Read more...]

My Mother-in-Law Noticed

March 16, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

A few weeks ago, my in-laws came to spend the night and go to the boys' basketball game.  Not so very long ago, I would have been doing a dance of joy and pride that it didn't freak me out to have guests coming, and didn't require me to clear my week's schedule in order to clean house. As it was, I'm definitely proud of myself, and grateful that … [Read more...]

Methodical vs. Maniacal

March 12, 2010 By Dana White | 15 Comments

I can do maniacal cleaning. When my husband and I were first married, pre-kids, he'd go out of town and I would clean like crazy. Dust-mask, rubber gloves, multiple trash bags, and the house would be sparkly and clutter-free, or at least clutter-hidden, when he returned. Living as I used to live (the house always a sty), I had no choice but … [Read more...]

In my (lame) defense I've been gone all day helping up at my son's school.But when did I feel hope for myself?This morning, at 5 a.m. I remembered that I hadn't run the dishwasher last night. Now it's one thing to remember, but … [Read more...]

How Saving Can Be Wasteful

March 11, 2010 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I have a very cute blue food processor. When I got married almost 11 years ago, I was lucky enough to hit the blue period in kitchen appliances. As a crazy fan of blue, I got a blue toaster, a blue food processor, etc. I have a great cabinet just the right size for my cute blue food processor. When we looked at the house, I thought "What a great … [Read more...]

Laundry – Week 3 – Adjusting to Changes in Routine

March 8, 2010 By Dana White | 19 Comments

I'm generally home on Mondays. Generally. Translated - Usually. Most often. Probably. Should be. So, if you ask me if I can guarantee that I'll be home on Monday, I'll have to say "No, I can't guarantee it." But if you ask me if I can guarantee that after one week, will there be at least 35 pairs of dirty underwear in my house . . . I can … [Read more...]

Squeezing in my Daily Checklist

March 2, 2010 By Dana White | 1 Comment

Today has been a bit crazy. I haven't had tons of commitments or anything, but I really wanted to make the breakfast pockets and participate in Freezer Cooking Days at Money Saving Mom. Not a problem, except that it's also Tuesday, my new day to clean bathrooms. Not a problem, except that just yesterday we got notice that my kindergartner was … [Read more...]
