Hi there! I started Fly Lady a few weeks ago and I’m loving it! Watching other people use the system is really motivating for me. I don’t have children and both me and my partner work outside the home, and I find the system works great for us. I totally agree with you about using entertainment while cleaning. This helps me so much! I either watch RUclips, listen to a podcast, or put on an audiobook when I am going about my fly lady tasks. It makes me feel doubly productive, and like I’m not missing out on my relaxation time by cleaning and decluttering on a week night.
I really like that this system works so well for most situations and does not require large chunks of time. I’m so glad the system is working well for you! It has made a huge difference for me.!
I use blue willow dishes, too! My granny gave them to me, they were hers when she and my granddad got married. I love them! Great video! I love Fly Lady
I used to put my child in one sink while I cleaned the kitchen using the other side of my double sink. That way I got bath time and my dishes done at the same time! She would play in the water with a few toys while I was scrubbing dishes and putting them n the dishwasher.
Loved your video. I've been doing the FlyLady system for 2 yrs and it has been a life saver. One thing I do to help make it easier to clean my pans is when I take my plate to the sink after dinner, I put away any leftovers, and then I put a squirt of dish soap and run warm water in each pan, and put them back on the stove to soak until I clean them later. That keeps me from having to scrub them later. Can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks, Regina! That’s a great tip for the pots and pans. I do the same thing a lot of nights, but sometimes I forget. It really does make a difference. ❤️
Has anyone ever told you that you have a very soothing voice? :) I liked this video, motivating (especially bc it doesn't seem over the top, I feel like, yea, I can do that!) but in a nice calm manner :)
Loved this! FlyLady literally saved me in terms of home blessing and cleaning way back in 2003!!! I have been using her method ever since I heard it at a MOPS meeting! Thanks for a great video!!!Hugs!💕💗
I enjoy watching RUclips videos of cleaning it motivates me so much I get something done when I get up out of bed thank you so much have a wonderful day
First time EVER I have seen someone else shine their pots with bar keepers friend!! My mom always shined her pots and I too now. Nice to know we aren't the only ones lol
I sweep the kitchen floor several times a day but certainly at night. Classical music on the radio! Dishes done, sink shined up. Stove and counters wiped clean. Simple Green is a great product.
Hi, I am new to your channel. I noticed "Fly-lady" in the description box of this video and I have been using the Fly-lady system for a couple of years now and love it. I look forward to seeing more of your channel.
Thanks for sharing your FlyLady routines! FlyLady has singlehandedly transformed the way I keep a clean and inviting home. I also clean my bathrooms every other day but I alternate between the master bathroom and powder room. My teen girls take care of the home blessing once/week and they also clean up the kitchen every night. Loooove Bar Keepers Friend!! I use the soft cleanser in the kitchen and bathroom and cleans up so so nicely! I've never tried in on my stainless steel cookware, good idea!!
Well done! I'm in my 10th week of Fly Lady and I need to make a video now that my routines are getting pretty solid. Thanks for the inspo! And I love the planner! I'm a planner girl too, and you know I have a whole planner dedicated to Fly Lady. LOL
Many years ago I would talk with my grandma on the phone while I did my Friday deep-cleaning; we both really enjoyed it and I would get so much done and it never felt like work! A few years later I earned a small T.V. as a bonus from my job, so I put it in my kitchen and would turn it on while working in there. Today I do what you do, I turn on my phone to a podcast or a Netflix show, or I ask Google Home to "Play NPR on all speakers" so that I don't miss any stories as I move from room to room. :-)
@@CarryGrace Yes, me too! It happened purely by accident and became something she would really look forward to (as grandma's do) even more than I did :-)
Enjoying your cleaning videos. Wow, I'm impressed someone has energy to so thoroughly clean their big home and cook for 5 and homeschool 3 kids! You are so organized. Do you prefer Fly Lady or Clean Mama systems more?
So glad you are enjoying the videos. If I had to pick between the 2 systems as they are written, I would choose Flylady. BUT, I have been tweaking some things and feel like the best system for me is a combination of the two. I plan to share more about it as I get it all worked out and have been doing it for a while. I also believe that we sometimes have to change our system depending on the phase of life or season we are in. I am learning to be disciplined, but also flexible.
Hi Nikki so happy to have you back! I have missed your inspiring videos! I feel like your type of cleaning best suits my life style! Hope you had a nice break!
Great video Nikki. Thanks for sharing your day with us. We have moved from Wales to Cyprus and are just getting settled. I still have lots to do but I am truly grateful for my flylady routines. xxxx Margaret
A friend recommended your video and it is very helpful and motivational! Something that might be helpful is that I notice that you rinse dishes before they go in the dish washer. We got a new dishwasher last year and I did some research on the rinsing of dishes....it's a hard habit to break! (of course in keeping with manufacturer's recommendations) - I tried it and and found that I don't need to rinse dishes before they go in the dishwasher - (after all we got the dishwasher to wash the dishes and I thought that I shouldn't be pre-rinsing - it's like having a dog and barking yourself LOL) Have recommended to friends and they are no longer rinsing...thus saving time! Liked your recommendations for cleaning products - and yes bar keepers friend is great. Thanks great video and ideas! :)
Please thank your friend for me for recommending my videos. That always means so much to me. You are right, that is a hard habit to break. I'm not sure if I can make the switch, but I might give it a try.
Also helps if you use jet dry - the liquid additive....we did that in my sister-in-law’s dishwasher and she’s no longer rinsing....but hey may not work with all machines! Thanks again for the great videos and your very helpful tips...all the best
I just stumbled across your channel. I enjoyed your video. I'm new to Fly Lady. It seems I can follow her recommendations easier than making my own work for my empty nester home. Thank you for sharing. Liked and subbed today. 🙂
All that AND homeschooling! I applaud you. You're a hero-mom! Surprised to see you put your coffee maker away..but I do like those empty looking counters! My goal is "Clean, Clear, Elegant!"
I was going to say the exact same thing! Your voice is SO relaxing and soothing, and you seem like such a calm person to be around! Your house is spotless! First-time viewer, and new subscriber!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. 💕I hope you will stick around. I have a new Zone cleaning video coming out tomorrow. I’ll be sharing all the Zone Cleaning I did in 1 month.
Enjoyed your video. I’m using it to motivate myself. Like you, I always leave the kitchen clean. I wash dishes as I cook so there’s not as much to do at the end. My husband helps & is the one who usually dries the dishes. I’d rather wash than dry. 🙂 Also, the thought of getting up to dirty dishes-or even cold, dirty dishwater-makes me barf!And thank you for washing your hands after cleaning the toilet & before you clean the countertop & sink. I’m so grossed out by people who don’t do that & also who use a cloth/paper towel to wipe out the sink & then use that same item (without folding it over even) to wipe the countertop. Ugh! I’m such a germaphobe that the thought of then putting other objects down on the counter makes me gag. People need to be aware of cross contamination!
Hi Nikki, I’m loving your channel. I am so grateful for this video today because I needed the inspiration. This week has been hard because I had to do so much. My kitchen is always cleaned at night. It’s my routines that I worry about ...sigh. I get sidetracked with other things. Ggrrr.
I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! I don’t always stay on track with my routines, either! So. Weeks really are harder than others. We just have to jump in where we are and keep going. 💕
I love the clean kitchen when I get up in the morning and the bathroom is easy I have only two to clean and it is so cquick using fly lady I need to work on my afternoon routine thank you so much being on you tube
Hi. Thanks so much for sharing your video. Do you have a video about deep cleaning when you first start the fly lady stuff? My bathroom and kitchen are really gross and need many hours to get deep down clean.
Be researching the fly lady method, as I work out side of the home right now. Because I had been a stay at home mom for a long time, so trying to find my new routine after a long days work has been so difficult for me
Oh, I bet the switch has been overwhelming. The thing I like most about the Flylady System is that you can make it work for you. A good solid Morning/Evening Routine goes a long way. Add in 10-15 of cleaning (a home blessing Task) and 15 of zone cleaning a day really it really is enough to keep things up. And delegate....if you can.I hope you find something that works well for you. 💕
I found that after I changed clothes, I had to start something immediately. Otherwise I'd sit down "for just a few minutes" and nothing would get done.
I chuckled at your mouthwash in a Starbucks jar 😁 I love repurposing things too! For my mouthwash, I put it in a 0.98 cent condiment squeeze bottle from Walmart (the kind you usually see bbq sauce and ketchup in at picnics and such). That way no mouths ever actually touch the bottle, the kids and I just tip our head back and squeeze some in!
You are such a hard working lady Carry..very inspiring..doing dishes is my least favorite..seeing you doing it was strangely soothing..and inspiring..lol
I read this suggestion from a couple of Flylady followers and I love the idea, but I live in deep south alabama....soooo hot and humid. What would you do in that case?
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you something: do you wear your lace-up shoes the whole day during the morning and evening routine, or do you let your feet relax a little bit?
When I am struggling to stay on top of things, I try to wear them to keep me motivated. I’m at a place now where I don’t wear them often. Shoes make me REALLY hot. 😂 I tend to lean towards flip flops or no shoes these days.
If it’s the long blue one, it is one I found YEARS ago at Big Lots….the brand is Mr. Clean. I haven’t been able to find that exact one, but E-Cloth makes one that looks the same. It’s probably nicer than the one I have.
Thank you for this motivational video! It really helps. Funny thing when I was doing bathroom, hubby said what did you do up there? (Seems to him i haven't been doing routines w him home lmbo)
I’m so glad you find these videos helpful. That helps me want to keep making them. Funny that he didn’t think you were doing anything. I do like how fast the routines are when I stay on top of them. Have a great day!
Love your videos, been watching all morning. My question is what cleaners do you particularly like? Also what if you have more than one hot spot in a room? Should I set a timer work left to right and do this in all the rooms each day until it’s finished or work for say 15 minutes in just one room and then when it’s finished move to the next room? Also do I really need a check list I noticed your schedule book? Finally I didn’t know I was doing this but I have established some routines here recently I used to never make my bed! 🤷♀️but that’s the first thing I do now then I get dressed. When I worked I got dressed went to work then was so tired when I came home I thought oh well too close to bedtime I’ll make it Saturday lol!thank you for your inspiring videos. Blessings!
Hi, Bonnie, so glad you are enjoying the videos. If you have multiple hot spots I would dedicate 15 mins a day to a hot spot in whatever zone we are in, until that room is decluttered. It might take you several weeks or months depending on how much decluttering you need to do. So this week is Zone 3 - main bathroom plus one other room (laundry room, office, kid room, craft room, etc.) Work 15 mins in that room each day and then next week work on hot spots in Zone 4 - master bedroom and bath. Does that make sense? Once your home is decluttered you can spend a few mins each day staying on top of hot spots. Things tend to collect on our kitchen counter, so I make sure that I get that spot cleared daily so that it doesn’t continue to grow. As for as a planner goes, any old notebook is great for keeping a checklist. Just use whatever you have. I like to keep lists to keep myself on task. That’s awesome that you are creating some good new routines. All the little steps add up over time and really make a big difference. Keep up the good work. 💕
We are part of a very large very religious organization and we clean a lot. LOL We care about those who come to our public meetings and homes so we love microfiber. The technology with water is amazing. Good for you! Love God and neighbor this is the greatest commandment. Can you imagine the world if everyone applied this simple principle?
I am CONFUSED How do you incorporate Home blessings with zone cleanings? Do you do One hour of home blessing then 15 minutes of Zone cleaning? How do they work together what do you do that's different?
Patricia I’m sorry you are confused. The best advice I can give is to make the Flylady system work for you, whatever that looks like. Ideally, the way the system was laid out by the Flylady, you will do the weekly home blessing hour on Monday + 15 mins of zone cleaning each week day. I change it up sometimes depending on my mood and schedule. Sometimes I spread the weekly home blessing out through the week. Sometimes I do all of my Zone cleaning in an hour.
New to FL system and I Love it!! Loved seeing your routine. One suggestion.... when cleaning the toilet START wiping the seat first THEN the rest of the toilet. I cringe when I see the seat gets wiped AFTER other parts of the toilet are wiped. You’re not alone. I notice most videos showing it done like this. PS.... Love your music, too 😊
Hi I’m a new subscriber 🐨 great video!! Very motivating 😊 can you please tell me what you use on your stone bench tops. I’ve ordered the bar keepers friend & I’m interested in your bench cleaner too, which I’m sure I’ll have to order online as well!! Thanks & hi from Australia🦘
Hi, Lynn! So glad to have you here. The Bar Keepers Friend is great. I have really been enjoying the Method Granite Cleaner for my counter tops. It makes them nice and shiny. I’m glad you said hello! 💕
Great video! It really inspired me! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind me asking. What planner do you use? and What scent of the method granite spray do you like? I have always wanted to try method and when I looked up the granite cleaner they had different and I want to buy something that smells good as well. Thanks for your help and input!
Thank you! I am using the Spaces Planner. They are on Instagram if you want to look it up. I’ll be sharing a video about the planner on Thursday. Our Target seems to only carry the Orange Tangerine Method Granite Spray. I do like the way it smells. It’s nice and fresh without being super overpowering.
Why does it seem so many people in U.S. home school? It seems like so much time and effort when your tax dollars are already taken to pay for teachers educated and trained in the field. Is it because they live in a poor school system or is it for religious reasons? Honest question because, here in Boston, MA area I don't know anyone who home schools. (Also, if you home school do you get tax breaks? I think you should...)
There are so many different reasons people choose to homeschool. I was homeschooled for a few years because when my mom checked statewide test scores when we moved to a new area they were really low. She homeschooled us to make sure we had a good foundation for reading and math. I didn’t intend to homeschool, but really felt like it was the right option for our family for a lot of reasons. We started out homeschooling and have just continued to do so. The area I live in has a large population of homeschooling families. No tax breaks, though.
Most people I know who do it are religious. It is a way to maintain a handle on what goes into their kids’ minds and hearts but honestly with bullying and other scary threats dominating news it is not hard to see how parents of young ones might not be keen on sending them out. I’m a public school teacher with 4 kids who went through public school, and I’m all for public school but I get it.
I couldn't help but laugh when you said you put your phone in the window seal, while washing dishes and watch you tube videos. If I wasn't on my phone right now, watching you tube cleaning videos, while it is in my kitchen window seal, above my sink and I was dishes, I would take a pic to show you. Lnfao
If I cleaned as often as I watch cleaning videos, my house would stay spotless 😆
Mine too!
Omg me too!!
Omg! Me three. Cooking videos too. 😂
😂💗
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂so true for me!
I don’t have time to clean, I’m too busy watching cleaning videos on You Tube.
❤️😂❤️
Same here 😂😂😂😂 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ i should shine my sink right by now 😂 i
LOL! Me, too! 😄
I feel this 😆😆😆

Hi there! I started Fly Lady a few weeks ago and I’m loving it! Watching other people use the system is really motivating for me. I don’t have children and both me and my partner work outside the home, and I find the system works great for us.
I totally agree with you about using entertainment while cleaning. This helps me so much! I either watch RUclips, listen to a podcast, or put on an audiobook when I am going about my fly lady tasks. It makes me feel doubly productive, and like I’m not missing out on my relaxation time by cleaning and decluttering on a week night.
I really like that this system works so well for most situations and does not require large chunks of time.
I’m so glad the system is working well for you! It has made a huge difference for me.!
I use blue willow dishes, too! My granny gave them to me, they were hers when she and my granddad got married. I love them! Great video! I love Fly Lady
I used to put my child in one sink while I cleaned the kitchen using the other side of my double sink. That way I got bath time and my dishes done at the same time! She would play in the water with a few toys while I was scrubbing dishes and putting them n the dishwasher.
It’s always great to kill 2 birds with one stone. 💕
I just started the Fly Lady method and it has changed the game! I LOVE IT!!!
Loved your video. I've been doing the FlyLady system for 2 yrs and it has been a life saver. One thing I do to help make it easier to clean my pans is when I take my plate to the sink after dinner, I put away any leftovers, and then I put a squirt of dish soap and run warm water in each pan, and put them back on the stove to soak until I clean them later. That keeps me from having to scrub them later. Can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks, Regina! That’s a great tip for the pots and pans. I do the same thing a lot of nights, but sometimes I forget. It really does make a difference. ❤️
Has anyone ever told you that you have a very soothing voice? :) I liked this video, motivating (especially bc it doesn't seem over the top, I feel like, yea, I can do that!) but in a nice calm manner :)

Hi. Thanks so much for sharing your video. Do you have a video about deep cleaning when you first start the fly lady stuff? My bathroom and kitchen are really gross and need many hours to get deep down clean.
Start with the Flylady’s 31 Baby Steps. I have the series in a playlist. It will help you establish new routines.
Be researching the fly lady method, as I work out side of the home right now. Because I had been a stay at home mom for a long time, so trying to find my new routine after a long days work has been so difficult for me
Oh, I bet the switch has been overwhelming. The thing I like most about the Flylady System is that you can make it work for you. A good solid Morning/Evening Routine goes a long way.

I found that after I changed clothes, I had to start something immediately. Otherwise I'd sit down "for just a few minutes" and nothing would get done.
I have three bathrooms, so I just do a different bathroom each morning and skip Sundays. They stay clean that way!
That’s a great way to keep up with it!

when do you mow the yard and pull weeds from flower beds?
Thankfully, those are chores that
my sons have for now.
It might help that whilst you dress to shoes, you open the window and flip the duvet to air your bed with fresh air...
I read this suggestion from a couple of Flylady followers and I love the idea, but I live in deep south alabama....soooo hot and humid. What would you do in that case?
@@kimberlystrickland189 maybe same as me, in winter that's not gonna happen, i just pull back the covers to air the bed and make it up later on.
I am just starting Fly Lady... Thanks for the tips... Loved the video!
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you something: do you wear your lace-up shoes the whole day during the morning and evening routine, or do you let your feet relax a little bit?
When I am struggling to stay on top of things, I try to wear them to keep me motivated. I’m at a place now where I don’t wear them often. Shoes make me REALLY hot. 😂 I tend to lean towards flip flops or no shoes these days.

Which planner are you using in this video? Went to your amazon store but there were several there
Tabitha Bishop the Spaces Planner
Look up Spaces Planner on IG or SpacesPlanner.com
Missed you! Great video !
Thank you! The break was nice, but it’s good to be back. I missed all of you. ❤️
We are a homeschool family as well! I am just now starting fly lady. Do you have any tips on implementing fly lady while also juggling homeschool?
I do my best to find those little pockets of time in between everything else.
What is the duster you’re using?
If it’s the long blue one, it is one I found YEARS ago at Big Lots….the brand is Mr. Clean. I haven’t been able to find that exact one, but E-Cloth makes one that looks the same. It’s probably nicer than the one I have.
Thank you for this motivational video! It really helps. Funny thing when I was doing bathroom, hubby said what did you do up there? (Seems to him i haven't been doing routines w him home lmbo)
I’m so glad you find these videos helpful. That helps me want to keep making them. Funny that he didn’t think you were doing anything. I do like how fast the routines are when I stay on top of them. Have a great day!
What planner are you using for your lists? Love the video!

Great video, thanks! What was that black thing you used to clean a pan please?
Kate F It’s a scraper from a Pampered Chef. I’ve had them for years.
Just found you and so happy I did!
So happy to have you here. Thanks for saying hello!💕💕💕

Where did you get you calendar ideas/ layout from?
The planner/calendar I’m using in this video is a Spaces Planner. www.spacesplanner.com
This is funny. We have the same plates. Exactly
Hi there! First time watching and I really like your channel. You have a beautiful home.
What planner was it you were using?
Thank you! The planner in this video is the Spaces Planner. www.spacesplanner.com
Great idea to catch up on other RUclipsrs videos while cleaning. I’m totally going to try that tonight!!
It makes the time go by faster. 😉
That's really excited. We are waiting a new vedio 💪
Love your videos, been watching all morning. My question is what cleaners do you particularly like? Also what if you have more than one hot spot in a room? Should I set a timer work left to right and do this in all the rooms each day until it’s finished or work for say 15 minutes in just one room and then when it’s finished move to the next room? Also do I really need a check list I noticed your schedule book? Finally I didn’t know I was doing this but I have established some routines here recently I used to never make my bed! 🤷♀️but that’s the first thing I do now then I get dressed. When I worked I got dressed went to work then was so tired when I came home I thought oh well too close to bedtime I’ll make it Saturday lol!thank you for your inspiring videos. Blessings!
Hi, Bonnie, so glad you are enjoying the videos. If you have multiple hot spots I would dedicate 15 mins a day to a hot spot in whatever zone we are in, until that room is decluttered. It might take you several weeks or months depending on how much decluttering you need to do. So this week is Zone 3 - main bathroom plus one other room (laundry room, office, kid room, craft room, etc.) Work 15 mins in that room each day and then next week work on hot spots in Zone 4 - master bedroom and bath. Does that make sense? Once your home is decluttered you can spend a few mins each day staying on top of hot spots. Things tend to collect on our kitchen counter, so I make sure that I get that spot cleared daily so that it doesn’t continue to grow. As for as a planner goes, any old notebook is great for keeping a checklist. Just use whatever you have. I like to keep lists to keep myself on task. That’s awesome that you are creating some good new routines. All the little steps add up over time and really make a big difference. Keep up the good work. 💕
Welcome back!
Thank you!
I was wondering what you use to keep your stainless steel pans so clean , as they looked fabulous in your video 😁
Bar Keepers Friend, the powder version. It’s so good. My mom always used it when I was growing up.
@@CarryGrace
Thank you so much for your response, hopefully I can get mine looking that good 😃
Hey, I love this video. Just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 💕
Not sure if you mentioned, how long does AM routine take you?
I’ve never really timed it, so I’m not sure. I’ll try to remember to time it sometime and let you know.
Do you turn all jeans inside out when you wash them? Why? I’m interested to know.
I don’t always, but most of them time I do. I hang them to dry and I feel like they dry faster inside out. 💕
What is the planner you are using? Its not in your amazon
The one in this video is by Spaces Planner. Not on Amazon, but there are currently on Mega Sale.
This was a great video!
Thank you!
Wry relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Nice video.
Thank you!💕
Hi!
I'm new. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.😊
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and say hello! 💕
@@CarryGrace I am enjoying your content. Your delivery is calm and the content is beneficial. Many thanks!
What vacuum do you use?
Shark Rocket Ultra Light - I have it linked in my Amazon Store if you want to see the exact model, but it should pop up in Amazon if you search it.
You using toilet paper because you forgot to grab paper towels is SO ME😂😂😂
It totally works! 🤗
Those bedside tables in your bedroom looked amazing when you took the mats off! I was disappointed when you put them back. 😀🇳🇿
I moved them out of here not long after that video! I tend to move things and change things up pretty often. 💕
Do your cabinet handles set off people's OCD?
Lol! Probably. 🤣
We are part of a very large very religious organization and we clean a lot. LOL
We care about those who come to our public meetings and homes so we love microfiber. The technology with water is amazing. Good for you! Love God and neighbor this is the greatest commandment. Can you imagine the world if everyone applied this simple principle?
I am CONFUSED How do you incorporate Home blessings with zone cleanings? Do you do One hour of home blessing then 15 minutes of Zone cleaning? How do they work together what do you do that's different?
Patricia I’m sorry you are confused. The best advice I can give is to make the Flylady system work for you, whatever that looks like. Ideally, the way the system was laid out by the Flylady, you will do the weekly home blessing hour on Monday + 15 mins of zone cleaning each week day. I change it up sometimes depending on my mood and schedule. Sometimes I spread the weekly home blessing out through the week. Sometimes I do all of my Zone cleaning in an hour.
New to FL system and I Love it!! Loved seeing your routine. One suggestion.... when cleaning the toilet START wiping the seat first THEN the rest of the toilet. I cringe when I see the seat gets wiped AFTER other parts of the toilet are wiped. You’re not alone. I notice most videos showing it done like this. PS.... Love your music, too 😊
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I do prefer to clean the toilet from top to bottom.
Hi I’m a new subscriber 🐨 great video!! Very motivating 😊 can you please tell me what you use on your stone bench tops. I’ve ordered the bar keepers friend & I’m interested in your bench cleaner too, which I’m sure I’ll have to order online as well!! Thanks & hi from Australia🦘
Hi, Lynn! So glad to have you here. The Bar Keepers Friend is great. I have really been enjoying the Method Granite Cleaner for my counter tops. It makes them nice and shiny. I’m glad you said hello! 💕
Carry Grace thank you so much I really appreciate it!!
Lynn Augustat You are so welcome!
Great video! It really inspired me! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind me asking. What planner do you use? and What scent of the method granite spray do you like? I have always wanted to try method and when I looked up the granite cleaner they had different and I want to buy something that smells good as well. Thanks for your help and input!
Thank you! I am using the Spaces Planner. They are on Instagram if you want to look it up. I’ll be sharing a video about the planner on Thursday. Our Target seems to only carry the Orange Tangerine Method Granite Spray. I do like the way it smells. It’s nice and fresh without being super overpowering.
@@CarryGrace Thanks!!
One thing I find are that shoes are gross in a home. I was raised in Europe and we don't wear shoes in the house
Keep a clean pair just for the house when cleaning. I also wash the soles from time to time.
I realy need help my kids moved out and left me with declutter the whole house .
Decluttering can be very overwhelming. Pick a spot to start on, and set your timer for 15 mins a day. A little bit each day will add up over time.
I leave my dishes to dry in lazy
Your cookware looks great! What is it, and what’s your secret?
The brand is Wolf Gang Puck from Sams Club. I’ve had it for over 10 yrs. I clean it with Bar Keepers friend.
I love your plates
Thank you!💙💙💙
Wait! I thought you quit the flylady? You are doing flylady again?!
I did, but I started back up in September. My first go around I tried to do too much at one time. 😉🙋🏻♀️💕
Carry Grace Awesome! I see I am very late in the game... I am so happy to see that you're doing new flylady videos!
Why does it seem so many people in U.S. home school? It seems like so much time and effort when your tax dollars are already taken to pay for teachers educated and trained in the field. Is it because they live in a poor school system or is it for religious reasons? Honest question because, here in Boston, MA area I don't know anyone who home schools. (Also, if you home school do you get tax breaks? I think you should...)
There are so many different reasons people choose to homeschool. I was homeschooled for a few years because when my mom checked statewide test scores when we moved to a new area they were really low. She homeschooled us to make sure we had a good foundation for reading and math.
I didn’t intend to homeschool, but really felt like it was the right option for our family for a lot of reasons. We started out homeschooling and have just continued to do so. The area I live in has a large population of homeschooling families. No tax breaks, though.
Most people I know who do it are religious. It is a way to maintain a handle on what goes into their kids’ minds and hearts but honestly with bullying and other scary threats dominating news it is not hard to see how parents of young ones might not be keen on sending them out. I’m a public school teacher with 4 kids who went through public school, and I’m all for public school but I get it.
😊
I couldn't help but laugh when you said you put your phone in the window seal, while washing dishes and watch you tube videos. If I wasn't on my phone right now, watching you tube cleaning videos, while it is in my kitchen window seal, above my sink and I was dishes, I would take a pic to show you. Lnfao
Yes!🙋🏻♀️
I listen to books.
