How we keep our home clean....

     You may remember me trying the Fly Lady Method, here, here, and here, to clean my home, but you may also remember that it didn't work .. So I have been following (more or less) a new method of keeping up with the plethora of chores. I went to pinterest for help of course and found many different ways. The one method I liked the most is where all the chores are broken down into daily chores, different chores for each day, and alternate chores done on different weeks. This way I am not overwhelmed with trying to figure out what needs to be done and when.. not to mention I don't have to do it all in one day!

There are several different schedules out there,
but I wrote my own to fit our own needs

 

Happy New Year!!!

     Hello blog world! I am back, with a few changes. But first... Where did I leave you? Oh yes, Fly Lady. I am going to be honest with you, the last time I followed Fly Lady, was when I last posted about it. It was just not working for me. There are days when my baby's needs trump that of a need to have a shiny sink. And after taking care of my baby's needs, the last thing I want to do is wash dishes. So instead of staying up late washing dishes, I go to bed and wash them the next day. Don't get me wrong, I did not abandon cleaning and washing dishes. I just do it in my own way. On my own time. Some times it gets done, and some times it doesn't, but life is not about keeping up with a pristine house, is it?

Fly Lady Day 3

Friday was Day 3

And guess what...

Same as day two.

I am beginning to wonder when I am going to clean the bathroom?!

Fly Lady Day 2

Day 1 went well!

I washed the dishes and shined my sink!

Well, its not shiny, but it is clean!
(we have an old scratched up white sink)

A little excitement happened afterwards too...

Fly Lady Day 1

Anywhere I go, people say,
"Wow! You have your hands full!"
And then they ask,
"How do you keep up with all of them?
How do you get anything done?"
I just smile and shrug.
What I really want to say is.......
