I'm not perfect about doing it everyday, but it's important to me that he grows up in a christian home, and it's up to us as parents to teach our children! Thanks 😊
Hey Awkward Mom. I found your channel today and I'm so thankful. I want to like all the other mom channels but they are just not real enough for me!! You are. Love that you keep it fun and honestly you had me with your first video.. Dancing while cleaning!! It's like watching my life lol! May the Lord keep you close to Him and guide your family in His path! :)
Have never come across your videos before, i'm a 24 year old with no home to manage and no idea why this came up in my recommended, but just wanna say i adore your voice so much & could listen to you talk forever
I came across your channel when i was watching cleaning videos. Started watching on your fly lady system and binged watched a lot of your videos. I love how you keep it simple and Funny lol
I love the idea of having a physical control journal like that. I know that nowadays we can do any organizational procedure with our phones, but nothing can replace a physical station to keep you focused and motivated on what you need to do 🥰 great video!
My ten year old and I were laughing so hard at the mind control spell book scene! 😂 I love the way you have your routine on the left and basic weekly plan on the right. Great job!
You are a blessing even to me, an older folk. I am trying to catch up while still re-watching your gems. They are game changers. Continue to allow the LORD to use you. Thank you.
Let’s just change that S to sweetie. You are definitely a sweet❤️ Thank you for the laughs and the info. What an awesome young lady you are! The magic spell had me and my son rolling🤣🤣
The control journal has been a total gamechanger. Yours is so cute! I also include any emergency contacts, motivating quotes, pics of son and family schedules I love how we can make it our own.
I've been "loosely" following Flylady for years; your Control Journal is awesome! My children are grown now, but your channel always makes me laugh and I'm so glad I found you. You have given me inspiration to more closely follow Flylady today. Congrats 🎉 on gaining subscribers--it looks that you approaching 4k! All the best to you and your family!
Thank you Lisa! I went from 1,000 subscribers to nearly 4,000 subscribers in just one month and I am just so so grateful for each and every one of them. So thank YOU for following along and I'm really glad I can inspire ❤️🥰
@@ThatAwkwardMom you are blessing others through your walk and in return you are being blessed. Your testimony is vital. You are not trying to convert people, so people are not wanting to see you fall. Yet they are attractive to the Light within you.
I have the FlyLady book and this video is making me want to dig it out and make my own control journal. I desperately need to get a handle on my house, and you make it look easy to get started.
Love your control journal quote. Mine says “little by little.” Are you doing grocery delivery or pickup? It will make your Saturday so much better. Laura at HTGYST talked about systems for simplifying your life. We get better produce because they pick it before the store opens. Steph from The Secret Slob has done printables for a week. I use a sheet protector and use a fry erase pen. Welcome to the FlyLady club!! I love your humor and enthuy
@@ThatAwkwardMom I think Aldi is like $15 for delivery, but Walmart and Kroger have free curbside pickup. They get your order together, you pull up in the special spot, and they load it in the car. At least in my area. I'm in Tennessee. I still usually do my own shopping, though. I have to be gluten free, and Aldi is the best place for that, but I don't like doing their delivery. It pains me to pay for it, and the one time I did, the delivery guy brought my order in a grubby plastic grocery basket, plopped it up on my island, and unloaded it all there, one piece at a time. No neat line of nice, clean bags like I see in RUclips videos. Ugh. This was during the era when I was wiping groceries down as they came in anyway (double whammy health issues), but still.
So, when I was a kid I had a Garfield poster that said, "I'll procrastinate tomorrow. " I didn't realize how much I would take that to heart when I was younger but I fight those words all the time as an adult. Maybe I'm not as alone as I thought I was? Thank you for all the tips and tricks your sharing, along with the motivation, knowledge and wisdom on this process. I think (hope) it will help me keep a cleaner house!
This is an awesome video. Short and to the point. People (me) get so overwhelmed with long detailed videos and you made it seem super simple to finally start making a control journal. I've been doing lite minimalist and flylady and only been thinking of the control journal conceptually and would love to actually make one now. Can't wait to see how you fit your zone cleaning into everything, great job!!
I try to make things simple because I also don't do well with a lot of details. So I teach others the way I would want to be taught! I'm glad it's helpful. I have to be honest with you, I have not perfected the zones yet. I'm still learning myself but when I do I will surely make a video!
@@ThatAwkwardMom our expectations for ourselves constantly raise as we improve, be sure to cut yourself some slack! It feels so much more achievable when I watch a video of someone just starting too, no need to be super perfect or even experienced. Keep it up 😋
New subscriber who just binge watched a bunch of your videos. The information you provide is great but the best part of them is you. You're clever, funny and absolutely adorable! Keep up the great work and watch your subscribers pile up! XO❤
I love your channel, for more reasons, no1:I can totally relate to your journey, and youare funny, witty, the consent is useful and videos are short. Cheers
Love your control journal..mine is the kind where I am flipping back and forth. Definitely gonna switch it up to your method! Thank you for sharing and you are too funny!!! Lol 😂🙏❤
I absolutely loved this!!!! I've been following fly lady für about three years but I still find it very refreshing to see your take! ❤️ You're so funny! Truly enjoyed this! Off to binge watch the rest of your content now (just found you)
Your videos are really pleasant and charming! And motivating! I'm a mom of five and I've been married for 20 years, so there may be an age Gap here, but something about you is so relatable! I love your tips and your jokes. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you for sharing this! My mom talked about fly lady a bunch but I never dove in! Well now I am thanks to you! I second I love your editing skills and your fun personality!
Ariel, your such and inspiration and entertaning young lady. I have no idea how I got to start seeing your video, but I am so glad. I have been watching your videos for a few months now and have started to ventour out to other influencer that also talk about fly lady, but they just don't make things as fun as you... you rock girl!! I hope you continue making videos becase girl I am a fan.
I absolutely love that you have given us these printables for free. They are beautiful and they've helped me to redo my control journal. My control journal has gotten out of control 😂
So many years ago I bought a book called Overcoming Procrastination. I had to move for my job a couple few times and every time I would pack my books and it was always in my “I should read that” list. After about 5 years I realized that I was never going to read it. So my conclusion was it might be a bestseller but nobody actually read it. 😆
Thank you so much for the free printable! I was going to photo them, then print THEN make my owns. Yes, I am an over achieving fixer. Now I get my control journal going super fast. Yahoo! I love your videos and watch them several times to motivate me.
Hi, I am a new subscriber and just want to let you know thar I love your videos. I follow the Flylady system too, but have not yet made the Control Journal. Yours looks great! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love this video. One of your best. I looked up your printable's, But I was disappointed all of your examples were not included. The pages were basically blank, waiting for my information. I needed your information to set the example. No worries though. I just re-watched your video and copied everything out by hand. I love how you showed us how to switch the cleaning lists around to fit your life. I won't use exactly what you wrote, but having what you wrote gives me an easy way to swap things out. I would love to know what your favorite recipes are, the ones in your book, and how to make them. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing.
I did Flylady years ago and found the journal very helpful. I added a page for plumber, and other repair people. Also added a section for monthly things. One of my July chores was to get the oil tank filled. That's when the price was lowest. I stopped because of so many emails and Flylady was crying a lot on her daily vids.
I just stumbled upon your channel when I got sent down the rabbit hole. Thank you so much for your content! This first time momma coming out of the pandemic (what year is it again? Is the pandemic really over?!) definitely appreciates your humor and advice. Can't wait to try out Flylady cleaning method! Thanks again!
It is really nice to hear you say that because I've been embarrassed of my voice for years haha. As a teenager I always felt like I talked weird but nobody's ever made fun of me for it so it's probably just in my head! Thank you 😌
I followed you THIS WEEK and I swear you were at like 6000 ish subs when I followed you???? Maybe I'm wrong. I don't think you were at 10k! I watched a bunch of your vids this week and I can see why your channel is growing!
This was so inspiring!! I just found your channel and have just been loving your videos. Thank you so much for the printables! I'm such a procrastinator, but you have truly motivated me to print these off and create a control journal. Thanks so much!
I have a control journal and the app, I enjoy the app most it works best for me and is fully customizable. My phone's always near me 😅 Love ur videos 🤩
After 21 years of "Flying" I have my control journal memorized. But I still keep a physical copy for others who might be interested in helping out. (As if anyone would be looking for ways to help around the house lol)
HOLY COW! your channel is growing like crazy girl!! Those editing skills. Plus you’re so fun. Can’t wait to follow your RUclips journey
Yeah, my growth came out of nowhere but I'm excited about it!! 😊 Thank you!
The you tube algorithm added your video to my feed. 🙂
I love that you have scheduled Bible study time with your son! So precious. Just when I think I can't love your channel any more than I already do!

No, I grocery shop myself... I think it costs maybe an extra $10 to do pick up? I'm sure that would make my Saturdays easier.
