Shortly after I had the twins, I realized that my old schedule and cleaning routine wasn’t going to work for me anymore. I didn’t have the time (or energy) to dedicate to cleaning and keeping my home presentable. Notice I didn’t say spotless or visitor ready? I just wanted a house that didn’t look like a house out of an episode of Hoarders.
Enter FlyLady.net. If you know of Fly Lady, chances are you already love her. If you don’t know who she is, once you  meet her she’ll be like a new best friend.
Now if you visit FlyLady.net, you might be overwhelmed at first because there’s a lot of information, a lot of pages, and it’s just busy. It might scare you away – don’t let it!
Right next to the Fly Lady’s picture, you’ll see a purple box with this message:
Are YOU living in CHAOS?
(Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome)
Do you feel overwhelmed, overextended, and overdrawn?
Hopeless and you don’t know where to start?
Don’t worry friend, we’ve been there, too.
The Fly Lady is going to be able to help you help you set up routines, get rid of your clutter, and put your home and life in order. And she’s going to help you do it for free!
When you join, will will receive Welcome Letters from FlyLady telling you how to get started. You will also receive regular e-mail reminders from FlyLady about zones, decluttering, laundry and more.
Everything is broken down into easy to follow instructions, and you start out with baby steps. Your house didn’t become clustered and disorganized over night, and it’s certainly not going to get cleaned up in one day! But don’t worry, it will get there. Trust me.
But there’s so much more to FlyLady.net than just cleaning tips. There’s ways to interact with others, videos, the FlyShop where you can purchase cleaning products and things to help you even more, and recipes…lots of yummy, quick and easy recipes!
These rags come in a mesh bag you can use to wash them in. Since you are reusing these rags, you’re also living “green”! They’re worth every penny, and I recommend them.
I can say from experience that her daily emails helped change my routine and made cleaning so much easier and quicker. She helps to keep you on track, and helps to avoid getting sidetracked, which was one of my biggest problems. I’d start in one room, and before I knew it I was cleaning out a closet in a totally different part of the house!
If you have ever used FlyLady.net, I’d love to hear what you think of it! And if you haven’t ever visited, believe me, it’s worth at least checking out!
