I work housekeeping at a resort, so I understand the concept of "screw the dishes, shine the sink." When I train girls and they walk into a trashed room, I tell them to vacuum/clean the floor where they are going to start first in the room. They get confused until they actually do it and it IMPROVES the room immediately. The floor is the largest visual cue of cleanliness, so it lightens the room immediately even if there's mountains of trash on the tables. "Shine the sink" also works with the kitchens we have. You move out all the dishes, see where all the food has fallen and clogged the sink. Clean out the drains, wipe it down, and now you can double check which dishes need soaking, scrubbing, or a regular cleaning and work from cleanest to dirtiest. Maybe it's twice the cleaning (because we have to vacuum again at the end), but it visually puts the brain at ease for the tasks at hand.
The best thing I did for my family and my sanity is create labeled bins for my kids' toys. They put them away fast and easy. I do a 5 minute pick up everyday too. Massive change in my home. Then I started flylady and it got my husband on board. I had to rush out one morning and my husband had made the bed, wiped counters and put the dishes away. I hadnt asked him too he just got used to my routine. I think once you show your commitment to your family they will try to help.
I have been using FlyLady for probably 10+ years. She has blessed my home and my family in so many ways. I am so happy to see that you have stumbled upon her home organization routines. It will bless your family too. Love to you from Winnipeg, Canada.
I'm a flybaby myself. I had found her way back in 2000 but then sadly stopped for years. Recently found her again last year. Marla is beyond awesome her system that she "made her own" from two wonderful ladies and their system... good for you and I hope that it's something you (& all your followers) can stick with! May we all not just flutter but fly!!
Absolutely! I have been using the FlyLady system since her beginning. I am also a FlyLady mentor and work with Flybabies every week. I am so proud of you! The FlyLady way of life will carry you through every stage of life!
I found Flylady 3 years ago and I love her system. The best thing for me is the 15 minute chunks of work throughout my house. Sometimes it's really hard to stop at 15 minutes but it's good to walk away from the task for a little bit, think of something else for awhile and then go back to it.
I have been doing fly lady for 4 years now. I do things habitually now and my house always pretty much stays consistently clean and organized, even with my family of 6. Good luck and thanks for sharing your experiences. Very motivating! :)
My mom is also a momma to 6 kids and she found flylady when I (baby #4) was in elementary school and it changed her life. I now have a baby of my own and am starting my own flylady/cleaning journey. You’re doing a great job with all the hats you’re wearing/tasks you’re juggling! Keep up the good work!
I been using FlyLady since 2009, back then she had Fly Kids too!...It helped organize my kids while homeschooling and help with kids routines! I still shine my sink every night!!
I've done fly lady for years .I've had a book called sidetracked home executive actually they have several books .I did there system when Mt kids were younger and it's worked miracles. Definitely worth the read..
Congratulations! I stayed home with my kids the whole time (oldest just married). I wish I'd had a system. But the only regret I really have is not having more kids. You will be so glad! I now have the slow and steady system, but this would have been great to know in that awesome but fleeting season. I love shining my sink every night!
flylady helped me thru incredible years long depression about 20 yrs ago. I've fallen off the bandwagon but have been implementing the shiny sink start and even cleaning 15 min a day adds up. great system for ADHD ppl.
Another flylady follower here! My only tough parts after a few years of doing Flylady is that I needed to figure out how to do my zones better. I’ve recently decided not to try to do zones for 15 minutes a day but one hour on Thursdays. That way I do WHB, Monday & Tuesday, (I do it two days to make it easy for me- upstairs one day and downstairs the next). As for what to clean in that week’s zone, I am using the flylady plus app. It has check-off lists you can customize. Another change I’m making is to only clean (not tidy) during my zone cleaning hour. Marla (Flylady) said to declutter first but that didn’t work for me. I love to clean more than going through stuff…Decluttering got me off track for Flylady zones because I had trouble with finishing it, so I never had time to get to the zone cleaning part. I changed all that last month. (It’s perfectly fine to go back and tweak your routine!) SO, I’m following Robyn Buchanan and Dana K White on RUclips and making decluttering a different part of my routine, in addition to Flylady. I’m clearing the clutter one area at a time. But the zone cleaning, for me, is just CLEANING tasks. That works better for my brain. How amazing that you are trying this in a busy season of life! My advice is to focus on finessing and practicing your morning & night routines in particular. WHB needs to be done, but set a timer for 10 minutes each task and either let it go or do it on a different day. Don’t wear yourself down, in other words. Flylady says to “finally love yourself” and I think that means allowing yourself lots of Grace. “Progress not perfection” and “Even a little done wrong blesses your family.” Favorite quotes of hers.
Oooo I really like doing zone cleaning on one day! Thanks for the tip!!! I’m currently in decluttering mode and can’t wait to get back into routines. I rented a dumpster so I have a time limit on the decluttering and basically am spending 10 days straight doing my whole house. It’s exhausting and energizing at the same time 😂
I grew up with my mom doing flylady and teaching us and I really need to get back to using her methods. They were so easy! I think it's an awesome way to teach kids since her methods are very small task or short time oriented.
I'd love to see your control journal! I've tried fly lady on and off for years. I feel like once I had a minimal mindset our house is way easier to keep organized and then clean up is pretty quick. It does help that we have a pretty smallish house for the size of our family. We were all drowning in stuff at some point! And I declutter constantly. It's such a blessing when the kids get old enough to help. The past two years my two oldest have been in training and now being 5 & 6 they can really clean up a lot of their own messes and help with the toddlers messes. It's refreshing waking up to a picked up house😀
I love FlyLady! I’ve been doing the daily routines and weekly home blessing for the last several months and it has made a night-and-day difference in my home. I reworked zone cleaning, daily focuses, and monthly focuses completely to customize it to my and schedule, and implemented those at the beginning of the year - so far so good :) I’m glad it’s working so well for you!
I love Fly Lady. My sister got me onto Fly Lady 10 years ago and, even though not perfect, I'm able to keep things in okay shape. Today I'm bumping it up a notch. Thanks for posting!
I’m a mom of nine and appreciated your feedback on FlyLady. I used the Organized Mum over the summer and it was wonderful, but I can’t keep up now that we’re homeschooling again. I think I’ll try FlyLady again. I just get overwhelmed with all of the steps, but maybe this time! 😉
HUGE, GIGANTIC THANKS TO YOU !!!!!! I’m 3 days new to this Fly Lady… and taking baby steps, using the app. I will eventually will print out the Zones & Daily Routines. I am probably going to Laminate them. I also use the Jordan Page Cleaning Schedule, I’m probably going to mesh the 2. Honestly, I have ALREADY IN 3 days, see a HUGE difference. I’m cleaning, Decluttering and Purging
Love this! I was introduced to fly lady at the very beginning of my marriage (almost 22 years ago...gulp). It hasn’t always been my go-to depending on what season of life I was in, but it’s a solid system. I’ve altered it a bit. For example, I’ve given myself a different “shiny sink”...putting all laundry away is my “shiny sink.” Dinner dishes always get completely done around here (thank you big kids!), but we were struggling with getting the laundry put all the way away...voila! 😊 Can’t wait to see how you continue to implement the system for your family!
Homemaking has been something that I’ve been putting more emphasis on the last 4 months! I’ll for sure be looking into this method.. I like how you mentioned it’s little things each day. Can’t wait to see how this method works for you guys in the future!
I have been doing Flylady for years. I absolutely LOVE Flylady Kat and Kimmy @ She's in her Apron (RUclips) I am so glad that Flylady finally has an official APP which I have wanted for years. Staying consistent and delegating jobs keeps things manageable so you don't get burned out. I love the weekly home blessing hour. I have always struggled with zone cleaning because I homeschool 5 children but I am getting better at it. Progress not perfection 😃
Girl I'm with you all the way. I'm a Mama of five. You keep it in your head all the time you'll do it later never comes and they always make a bigger mess.
Yup.the fly lady eats changed my life. I just stuck to what the book said and it straight up changed my life. Underneath it all, it is cognitive behavioral therapy.
Just saw your video and I'm so glad you've found the FlyLady system. I've been using it for over 5 years now and it has totally changed my house and life. I always felt overwhelmed by how much there was to do and could never keep on top of it. But with FlyLady's system I could and I really liked how little time I felt I was having to spend cleaning. Definitely stick with it because it keeps getting better and easier as the routines become habits and you get more decluttering done. One change I made is I added a quick scrub of the bathtub to the Weekly Home Blessing so it was easier to deep clean when it was time for that zone. Good luck and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming FlyLady videos.
After seeing your group posts I’ve been slowly implementing fly lady techniques in my daily routine. It has made such a huge difference. The only thing I’ve done consistently is made my bed, dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, clean kitchen at night and doing short pickups and tidying. My home is so much more manageable!
Good for you, girl, doing home school!! Did that for 20 years with 5 kids through high school. They're all great adults now. I'm ecstatic with having had the home education option.
Thank for this video... I started using fly lady years ago but slacked off for some reason, however I still shine my sink!! I am definitely going to go back to following her routine again because I felt like I was in charge of my home instead of my home taking over me (if that makes sense). I homeschool a 12 and 16 yr old plus babysit (6 mos, 2 yrs, and two that are 3) My house definitely gets away from me 🤦♀️
i love her system! at first i thought it seemed overly complicated but all the routines are so quick and easy once everything is being done so regularly! i definitely adapt it a bit though like no way am i doing laundry everyday since we dont have kids/ generate that much dirty laundry
I look forward to seeing these videos to see if it is something that will work for me. I think you are the nicest family and thoroughly enjoy watching for you all. God bless you.
I had never heard of Fly Lady before watching your video. I currently live in an 892 square foot 1 bedroom + den apartment so it is pretty simple to maintain ~ plus the fact that I am 57 and the only people that live here are myself, my husband, and our 5 year old goldendoodle. I will say that I am interested to see if the cleaning routines are carried out and followed consistently or if they are something that you do for a month or two and then let slide. I am not suggesting in any way that it is going to happen, but I think we have all at some point and time in our lives started out all gung ho and excited about something only to eventually fall off the bandwagon (I know that personally I am guilty of this). What frustrates me about some of the homemaking / cleaning channels that I currently watch is that I will see them put out an organizing video for various spaces in their home and by the end of the video everything looks clean, neat, and absolutely amazing. Then a few weeks or a month later they have uploaded an organizing video of the exact same space. And I totally get that sometimes you organize a space and think it is going to be functional and work great for your family and be a system that is totally manageable, and over time you come to realize that things just don't work efficiently. But more often than not, I am watching people clean and organize the same spaces using the exact same storage containers and in the exact same way somehow magically expecting different results. I find myself sitting there asking ~~ if you were not able to keep it clean and neat the first time and you have changed nothing about your system, how is it that you are expecting different results the second, third, etc., time? Good luck to you. Again, I am excited to watch the content and see if it is a manageable and attainable system long term.
I've only recently learned about the flylady system and would love to learn more and practice her system and see if it works well for me. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to joining you in this journey. ❤
Checking out Fly Lady after watching your video and hearing about it for years. And on her latest live stream I see a picture of Our Lady in the background. I guess that a sign to get on board with this :)
In just a litte while He who is coming will come and will not delay. Get right with Jesus whilst you still can. Time is moving on and we all need to be ready for our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏 🙏
I want to give this a try but I feel like there’s just too much involved! I’m skeptical I’d be motivated enough to stick to this type of system…excited to hear about how it keeps working for you!
Even if you just do the Daily tasks and Weekly Home Blessing, your house will be better! When you’ve been doing that for awhile and it’s easy, then add zones. 😊
I wish I had found Flylady sooner. I follow Steph here on RUclips- her channel is The Secret Slob, she’s great! Diane in Denmark is another RUclips FlyLady channel. They keep me motivated.
But what do you do with your dishes after your shine your sink? I’d just wash them first then clean the sink. Beats having dirty dishes on your counter.
Hi there sweetie pie I have been do the Fly Lady system its great anything to make life easier great your family are helping Mom love from Eugenie your friend xxx from Australia
Hey there! I just had baby number six in November. I have never used fly lady. I would like to learn more, though. I have some of my own routines and systems, including a white board in my school room that has my dinners, laundry days, my husband’s work schedule, etc. for the week. I am also waiting on a planner from Passionate Penny Pincher to be shipped. Have you ever used it?
@@mirelaxo I didn't know Diane had been a FL consultant! I love both of your two recommendations and have watched them myself. Both women are fun and very encouraging. :))
I just got an email yesterday that the PPP planners are back in stock, with shipping in 3-5 days, so hopefully you'll be getting yours soon. :) I just ordered one; this will be my first year using one and I'm hoping it will be helpful. And to echo the other person who replied to you, both of those ladies have great RUclips videos on the Fly Lady system. The Secret Slob is one I have watched more, and she has some free printables/checklists that are customizable (based on the Fly Lady system). Best of luck to you and congratulations on the new baby 👶!
@@roseschulze1647 thank you! I will check them out. This is my second year using a PPP planner. There are many things I really like about it! I didn’t use everything, but it was still worth it to me. It just showed up yesterday!
I use Barkeepers Friend and Dr. Bronner's Citrus, with Scrub Daddy sponge, then a microfiber towel. Before it would actually shine, I had to work away at lime scale buildup with lemon halves and a non-abrasive scrub pad. I never knew my sink was shiny. It had always been covered in lime scale, even when we bought this house! Dr. Bronner's is 100% all natural, won't hurt your septic system, and it shines up stainless steel to a high gloss!
In jusr a little while He who is coming will come and will not delay Get right with Jesus whilst you still can. Time is moving on and we all need to be ready for our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏 🙏

Smart trick for the toys! 👏👏⚘

That’s a fun read. I find myself reading their books several times.
I used sidetracked home executives as well and it was very effective.
I had a feeling the 4 min video about baby steps would be the awkward mom! She is so great

Fly lady changed my life in 2007 I fell off for a few years but getting back into the swing of it after a big move…it’s like riding a bike 🙌💕
HUGE, GIGANTIC THANKS TO YOU !!!!!!
I’m 3 days new to this Fly Lady… and taking baby steps, using the app. I will eventually will print out the Zones & Daily Routines. I am probably going to Laminate them. I also use the Jordan Page Cleaning Schedule, I’m probably going to mesh the 2.
Honestly, I have ALREADY IN 3 days, see a HUGE difference.
I’m cleaning, Decluttering and Purging

Oh that’s such a good idea!! Maybe I’ll make a video about “how to make FLYLady work for you” and use your tip!
I have done flylady routines for years ! Back before RUclips ! Seeing you go through the routines has revived my FLYING! Stay in there !
Homemaking has been something that I’ve been putting more emphasis on the last 4 months! I’ll for sure be looking into this method.. I like how you mentioned it’s little things each day. Can’t wait to see how this method works for you guys in the future!
I have been doing Flylady for years. I absolutely LOVE Flylady Kat and Kimmy @ She's in her Apron (RUclips)
I am so glad that Flylady finally has an official APP which I have wanted for years.
Staying consistent and delegating jobs keeps things manageable so you don't get burned out. I love the weekly home blessing hour. I have always struggled with zone cleaning because I homeschool 5 children but I am getting better at it. Progress not perfection 😃

Yes! I feel the same way! The first time I let it overwhelm me but if you stick with it, it just makes sense!!
I love FlyLady. I adapted it to work for me and have followed it for years.
Thank you so much Tabitha for taking time out of your busy schedule and family I appreciate it very much 🙏 ❤❤❤
I look forward to seeing these videos to see if it is something that will work for me. I think you are the nicest family and thoroughly enjoy watching for you all. God bless you.
I've just started flylady at the beginning of December too. This week I did heaps of cleaning and finding it hard to set a timer.
Yes, please do this flylady video you’re talking about!! Super excited for it!! Might I say you look absolutely lovely ❤️😍🥰
I started the FlyLady routine during shutdown. It was so helpful!
What a perfect time to start!!
Fly lady sounds worth a try. Would love to see the routine in action.
Go watch The Secret Slob or Diane in Denmark. They make it so doable and their explanations are easy to follow and understand.

I was able to hop in for December, but I did follow along with the group and I have all my stuff to get her to start next week!

Thank you for sharing, I get so overwhelmed cleaning the house, dishes, clothes...etc. Im looking forward to your upcoming videos
Would love to see how you keep you homemaking binder! Been trying to find a system that works for us too. Thank you for this share.
I'm working on using Clean Mama, personally, but thanks for the info!
Diane in Denmark is great as well for helping one understand FlyLady
I want to give this a try but I feel like there’s just too much involved! I’m skeptical I’d be motivated enough to stick to this type of system…excited to hear about how it keeps working for you!
That’s how I felt the first time I tried it. I found the app made it much more doable, and now I’m doing it my own way!
Even if you just do the Daily tasks and Weekly Home Blessing, your house will be better! When you’ve been doing that for awhile and it’s easy, then add zones. 😊
Just give it a try and who knows, it may change your life too!!
FlyLady was the best system fir me too.
I wish I had found Flylady sooner. I follow Steph here on RUclips- her channel is The Secret Slob, she’s great! Diane in Denmark is another RUclips FlyLady channel. They keep me motivated.
Love Steph so much!!! Get ready for a collab with her later this month 😉
@@ThisMamasHouse awesome! I will!
Awesome video. New friend here. Bless you for home schooling. Love your videos.
Thanks and welcome!💕
I love this so much thank you for sharing with all of us❤❤
But what do you do with your dishes after your shine your sink? I’d just wash them first then clean the sink. Beats having dirty dishes on your counter.
I would love a video on your home binder.
Yes!
I also looked at clean mama, and not the consistent system for me. I needed something more regimented like Jordan Page … and This Fly Lady
Rage cleaning! I love it- 😆 That's so me!!
Just got the app only found out about this yesterday, wish me luck 🤞

Hey there! I just had baby number six in November. I have never used fly lady. I would like to learn more, though. I have some of my own routines and systems, including a white board in my school room that has my dinners, laundry days, my husband’s work schedule, etc. for the week. I am also waiting on a planner from Passionate Penny Pincher to be shipped. Have you ever used it?
I recommend going to the following channels to assist you further on FlyLady.
1. Diane in Denmark, she was a FL consultant
2. The Secret Slob
@@mirelaxo I didn't know Diane had been a FL consultant! I love both of your two recommendations and have watched them myself. Both women are fun and very encouraging. :))
I just got an email yesterday that the PPP planners are back in stock, with shipping in 3-5 days, so hopefully you'll be getting yours soon. :) I just ordered one; this will be my first year using one and I'm hoping it will be helpful. And to echo the other person who replied to you, both of those ladies have great RUclips videos on the Fly Lady system. The Secret Slob is one I have watched more, and she has some free printables/checklists that are customizable (based on the Fly Lady system). Best of luck to you and congratulations on the new baby 👶!
@@roseschulze1647 thank you! I will check them out. This is my second year using a PPP planner. There are many things I really like about it! I didn’t use everything, but it was still worth it to me. It just showed up yesterday!
@@melissam9197 That's awesome you received your planner now!! Best of luck to you in '22!!
Thanks for the motivation !
Loved this!! I’m the worst “homemaker” lol I’ll have to look into this! 🤗
I love this so much 🙌
Thanks for sharing this!
Fly Lady has an app - say what?!
Hi there ! I’m new here. .Loving This Mommas Faith! I have the fly lady app . Where do I find the baby steps .

Sounds good, interested to see more

Love her!
I want to join!!! Wow this is inspiring
Me encantan tus vídeos, saludos desde Colombia
Thanks for sharing
The major end goal of fly lady is to never have to spring clean again.
You look good!! Do you have botox/face-lift and lip fillers? If so, it looks suuuper natural and flattering.
Happy new year!!
Yah right! LOL that all sounds terrifying 😂
It looks natural because it is! Thanks Erica ❤️
Do you have a recommendation for a natural stainless steel sink cleaner?
I like the Mrs Meyers powder scrub or the liquid bar keepers friend
I use Barkeepers Friend and Dr. Bronner's Citrus, with Scrub Daddy sponge, then a microfiber towel. Before it would actually shine, I had to work away at lime scale buildup with lemon halves and a non-abrasive scrub pad. I never knew my sink was shiny. It had always been covered in lime scale, even when we bought this house! Dr. Bronner's is 100% all natural, won't hurt your septic system, and it shines up stainless steel to a high gloss!
What is fly Lady is
Day in the life
In jusr a little while He who is coming will come and will not delay Get right with Jesus whilst you still can. Time is moving on and we all need to be ready for our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏 🙏
