Housework Clues

I thought I would share the very start of my journey to a better home and family. At home I was never 'taught' how to run a home, routines, how to clean. Mum just did it and it was done when we arrived home from school each day. So as we left home I was left floundering, stumbling along with the ridicule from people who would rather point fingers than help and teach the right way. And then in December last year my life changed. I already had 3 little darlings to care for and dear husband was at the the end of his patience with the house. So in my heartwrenching search for something that would shed some light on this housekeeping confusion I was led to FlyLady.net Now this site and the lovely ladies here have, I have to say changed my life. And if you would like to meet some of them in real-time, here is where I go to get inspiration FlyLady Chat Now this isnt just any 'excuse for a chat' chat room. As you read on the website, Marla/FlyLady gives you all the tools to a tidy house emphasising baby steps, or doing small things everyday until they become routine and then putting together a Morning and Before Bed Routine to be done every day and cleaning your house in 'zones' every month. The chat room is for us ladies who need a little extra motivation. We go at TOTH -Top Of The Hour, and BOTH- Bottom Of The Hour and clean/work for 15 or 20 minutes using the tips we've learnt as a guide and then return to celebrate each others achievement for the rest of the halfhour. It is all about getting it done without burning out! Friday is Date Night, Saturday-Family Fun Day and Sunday-Renewal, so its not all about cleaning but also looking after yourself. Actually the 'FLY' part stands for 'Finally Loving Yourself'

So feel free to join us and flutter your way free from a cluttered, stressful home :) And if you do, let me know what you think, I know you'll love it!
