Kidamerinks Moms: Fly Lady

Seriously, I don't think I would survive without The Fly Lady.

What is The Fly Lady you ask?

It is a site that helps you stay on "task" with your housework. 

For some reason, I need this. I need someone to tell me what to do everyday so that my house stays clean. 

Now, I usually have a relatively clean house... but, if you look closely (please don't) you may see some grit and grime that I haven't gotten around to. I HAVE KIDS!!

But, the Fly Lady addresses these issues! 

You can sign up for her daily e-mails and she works her way through different "Fly Zones" in your house that we forget to clean or needs attention. You only need to spend 15 minutes a day in your zone and then be done. By the end of the month, you have a cleaner home.

It's simply brilliant, and every Mom should know about this site!

It's nice to get a daily reminder of things that you "forget" to clean, or can't get to during your regular cleaning -- At least, I find it very helpful! And, it is broken down into a daily task so you don't get overwhelmed with having to do EVERYTHING!!

So, start here: Beginner Baby Steps, and start learning how to FLY!!

The first habit is learning to always shine your sink, and then you work up to Fly Zones and Super Fling Boogies. Funny terminology, but it helps de-clutter and clean your house little by little. It also helps you get into a routine.

It's just awesome!

I made these to help remind me of my daily tasks... Yeah, I need reminders. I'm a visual person, and this works the best for me.

These sayings are from The Fly Lady.

They turned out pretty cute, and they are so simple to make. 

I got the wooden frames at Michael's for $1. Then, mod-podged cute paper on them. Printed out my goal, and put it in the frame. Then stapled a ribbon to the back and hung them on a 3M removable hook. 

 Easy-Peasy, and so much cuter than a sticky note! :)

Since having these around in my house, I've stuck to my goals better and my house isn't in C.H.A.O.S. (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) mode anymore!! :) 

All thanks to The Fly Lady...

So, go learn to Fly with The Fly Lady! It's awesome!! :)
