Your enthusiasm inspired me to put the routines and daily focus into real use for the first time in three years. Especially 15 min declutter and 5 min room rescue. Imperfect is better than no progress. I want to be able to invite people over
You're doing a great job. Remember the WHB is for quick cleaning in the high traffic areas. It will get faster as you go. Save the deep cleaning for zone time. You'll be there before you know it!
@@ADomesticWannabe by the 2n months of being consistent and keeping up with daily routines, it felt like a breeze. the weekly home blessing is really helpful too. just remember that it will all get done in its time and that takes the pressure off.
I know this is an old video, but I have to recommend getting a robot vacuum. My husband got me one for Christmas (I wanted it lol), and it has been life changing!!! . I have 3 cats and a dog and very long hair that hits my lower back. I run my little robot friend 3 times a week, and it keeps my floors looking really good. And it goes under my bed and under my couch where my vacuum can't reach. For people with pets, I cannot recommend it enough. I can never go back lol
I just found your channel, and I’ve only watch the two Day 32 videos so far. Congrats on your first weekly home blessing! It sounds like you are really investigating how to make the Flylady routines work for YOU, and that’s the whole point. My weekly home blessing looks significantly different from her list, too. I have six tasks, and the first one is to run around the house for ten minutes, just tidying things up, taking the rugs outside to shake them, etc. My other five tasks are: dust, sweep hard floors, vacuum carpeted rooms, bathrooms (mirrors, sink/counter, toilet), and mop the hard floors. I also do my sheets at a different time, and don’t need to cull magazines. I ended up deciding that including my bathroom swish and swipe in the weekly home blessing was helpful, and it can include the mirrors, and a more thorough job around the outside of the toilet, and sometimes I even tackle the shower/tub. I set a 10 minute timer on my Apple Watch as I start each task, and it is so satisfying to stop the timer before it rings if I finish before the 10 minutes! I love your idea of setting a master 60 minute timer, too, so you can really see how much time the whole project took. Thanks for sharing your journey! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
I am so glad you found me! I love your idea of doing 10 minutes tidying up before jumping into the other tasks! I love hearing how other make this system work for them! I appreciate you sharing! Thank you so much for watching!!
I love your attitude! Great job! Taking 10 minutes a day to chip away at your weekly home blessing instead of doing it all on one day can make things a little less sweaty. 😂 Loved the video!
Great job! Just remember FlyLady says to vacuum just the "main areas" during your HBH; the areas company would see if they were to stop by. Not bedrooms, under furniture, etc Deeper vacuuming will be done when you do your weekly "zone" cleaning.
I totally understand that! It is defiantly a challenge for me to wait for a zone clean to do vacuuming though with 4 animals. The fur builds up FAST...so fast I have named the giant fur ball I take out of the vacuum once, as I had mistaken it for a 5th pet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do my mirrors in the bathroom as part of the WHB, and then the windows and glass in whatever the zone is for the week. It takes me less than 10 min 😉
I dust first, my husband doesn't dust. He however, vacuums more than I so I do not complain!😉 Just came out of Covid 2 weeks ago and you inspired me ❤to get back on track with Flylady. Pulled out my Control Journal (from 2012😳) and purged it for a fresh start. Sink has been shiny for 4 days...
4 days is awesome!!! I hope you are feeling much better! Has a lot changed to your control journal since 2012? I hope you continue to feel better and better!
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying what I am sharing!!!! Also, thank you for commenting on the music! I thought my dramatic pick for the weekly home blessing today was a good add on to my competition (with the timer)! Hahahaha!!
Before I started the video I was like how dirty is the floor water 💦 going to be, can’t wait! and how sweaty and out of breath (cause I know myself) at the end. Did not disappoint was great! 😆The music was essential , was laughing at the incoherent (reminds me of myself) Though your water wasn’t that dirty so 🙌. I always tell myself I’m gonna clean slow, take my time and only do this or that. Nope! I need a full shower 🚿 after. I bravely went into the craft room to do a 5 minute room rescue and it became a 15 minute declutter 🙌. You can get swallowed up in there. I usually tell family members where I’m going before I go in, in case I don’t come out. Now if only I could find the perfect craft furniture piece to get totes out of the room. Fun video! You did great! You win the cleaning competition. 🙌I bet it feels great to finally feel clean. 💕 I noticed you have the new o cedar mop, I’m jelly. I bought the older version right before the new version, was hoping they would let me swap.
The water was not as bad as I thought it would be too! How did the 15 minute declutter go?! Did you see some motivating results? It feels so good to have gotten it all cleaned! HAHA, I love that you tell your family to come check on you if you dont come out! The O Cedar mop is great! I have seen other creators put a smaller bucket in their original version with their clean water (like a bucket from the dollar store) then it acts the same as the new one! Also- thank you for noticing my dramatic music! Haha! I giggled when I made it, and wondered if anyone would think it worked for the mood like I was thinking it did!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ADomesticWannabe no the music was -chefs kiss. I’m towards the end of my declutter for my craft room, I was in the trenches half of winter. I still feel like I have too much stuff. I might do the 15 minute declutter once a week in the rest of the house to warm up my declutter muscles. I’m not sure why it’s so scary to me. I have gotten rid of a lot but not enough to feel truly free cause the answer is not clean then jenga organize
I always wonder about water as well. My home is a no shoe home too. At one point I thought maybe it was the mop that remained dirty but I soak it afterwards, so it should be fine! Anyway well done! 🎉
I did Flylady years ago & was very successful & have adapted it all to my lifestyle, throwing in A Slob comes clean (Dana K White) to the mix…. Flyladys website is overwhelming & her videos/podcasts are really long…. I love the swish & swipe…. Saves me money on those expensive Scrub thingys….
I am so glad you said this! I would not have thought of just giving myself extra time for the 2nd level! I am trying a WHB this week doing daily - but doing 10 minutes upstairs, 10 minutes downstairs because of your comment!!! Thank you!
It depends how dirty it is. If I have to get cobwebs or anything super nasty, I vacuum it instead of using my duster otherwise I'll use several dusters on one room.
My first-born's play area looked a lot like this! Now that baby #7 is 18 months old I have definitely learned that children play more creatively and have an easier time learning to clean up when they have fewer toys to choose from. I would recommend having storage boxes for him and just changing out the toys with the seasons. It will help both of y'all!
This is such a good idea! I tried this, and completely failed at actually switching things out! Coming from someone with your experience, I think I need to try it again!!!! Thank you for sharing it! (I can do this! Hahah!) ❤️❤️
My experience is, you take it too easy on the timer, when you spread it out. You do it too perfect. And I miss the feeling when you are done with the whole WHB. I almost get High on cleaning! Who would have believed that when I was your age. I Wish I know the Flylady system, when I was your age 😊❤️
You are lovely! You have also done a one hour exercise workout. Love the music. I have ME/CFS so if I did that amount of work in one go I would have to spend the rest of the day in bed. I have to space out all my chores with plenty of rests in between. I love your natural presentation style.
Your kid has a lot of toys. You might want to put a few bins of them up in the closet and rotate the toys. Less to pick up for you and more fun for him when he gets to open a new bin each week or each day even.😀
I LOVE this idea! I have tried something like it, but I need to work harder on making it work! Because, you are right it is so much more fun when their is space to play in there!
First video of yours I've watched... the music EPIC!! Lol it went well with your video.. SO WELL. Btw you now have a new subscriber. I was hooked with thr first few seconds..
I really enjoyed this series. Good job! I think the reason that the weekly home blessing hour is not in the 31 baby steps is because each of the 31 days are habits that you are building in order to do them every day. I think FlyLady's original concept of the weekly home blessing hour was to do all the jobs in an hour once a week. However, you can never do FlyLady's system incorrectly. Use her principles and apply them to work for you. Hope to see more of your videos!
"You can never do FlyLady's system incorrectly!" -Lyn S. This should be a reminder to everyone at the top of every page of her website! ❤️❤️ It really is neat that you get to make it your own! Though, I have a lot more fun taking everything very literal! But, in the grand scheme of things - your sentence right there is what everyone should take from FlyLady! Thank you so much for watching!
Love the progress you’ve made! I like doing the weekly home blessing along with the flylady videos!! Question-what is the brand of your clothes rack in the laundry room? I’ve found similar but the shelves are flat.
I am going to have to find those videos! I am sorry for my delay in responding! I am catching up on comments, and wanted to let you know I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on and watch my video! Thank you so much! This is the clothing rack amzn.to/3zjA2ip (this is an affiliate link). You can also look it up by name if you prefer: HOMIDEC Clothes Drying Rack, Oversized 4-Tier(67.7" High) Foldable Stainless Steel Drying Rack Clothing, Movable Drying Rack with 4 castors, 24 Drying Poles & 14 Hooks for Bed Linen, Clothing, Grey Thank you again for watching!!! ❤️
Well, I had a few things come up the last few weeks (a death in our family) which proved to make FlyLady (and kind of everything) harder. I talk a little bit about it in my next video. So right now, I am just trying to get back into the habits I had been working on. I hope to start zones soon!
@@ADomesticWannabe true! I read other comments and kind of see the logic in their arguments. Still: I’ll keep starting at the top and finish on the bottom. Do you have a vacuum robot? I love mine! Letting it rum daily (different part every day) makes dust levels come down in my experience. I have no experience with pets though…
This is a good question! For us the upper level is our main living area - and that is pretty much what I cleaned. But, I after reading your question I am realizing maybe the WHB is suppose to be more focused to a smaller area? Is it? I will go look at the website and see what I can find out! Maybe I did way more then I was suppose to?!? (But in all honesty I wanted it all done so bad that I would have done it anyway! My dust bunnies were making more dust bunnies!)🤣
Great video. When are you supposed to clean your bathtubs? I I thought you had to clean the bathrooms once a week. I understand the swish and swipe Keeps your commode and counters clean but do you not have to clean the bathtub once a week? If not that’s great because I have a bad back so I’m not really able to do it once a week anyway
Have you seen the bathroom "mop like scrubbers" they are on a sponge on a stick so you wouldn't have to bend over as much to clean the bathtub! I am more of a every other week kind of girl - or when I wear contacts in the shower and realize WOAH the shower really needs to be cleaned! Without the contacts the shower looks great! 🤣🤣🤣 I like Jamie's comment of cleaning it after you use it. But, I am usually rushing to get out of there to start the day. Maybe its a new habit I should start! (I searched "bathroom scrubber on a stick" in Amazon and found quite a few. I would do a link for you - but I think links in comments are WAY too fishy! And, do not trust them myself!)
@@ADomesticWannabe Here's my current process: I keep my scrubber brush and a scrub cloth (happens to be the same as Diane in Denmark's) IN the shower at all times. I just clean a *part* of the shower every time I shower (i.e. doors, floor, walls) I squirt some Dr. bronners lavender liquic Castile soap and scrub! For the doors, ever other week or so I also spray and wipe with vinegar water to get some more sparkle ✨ so by the end of the week the whole shower had been done usually 😉
I would suggest sticking to the 15 minutes instead of trying to get a whole room done. It will happen. This is not supposed to be difficult. Try to be patient
I am not sure Patient has ever really been used to describe me! 🤣🤣 Which is exactly why having you remind me is helpful! And, since starting FlyLady I think I have gotten better and better (sometimes). I am trying another system right now in a new series I started yesterday. But, I know everything will be compared to FlyLady because I learned SO much from her - even with my pretty "not so great/judgmental" attitude I had at times. I learned a LOT and really appreciate her advice! I am going to use her book to do this again after I do my two mystery books! She has big shoes to fill! I also want to say thank you for watching and commenting - I am catching up on comments and really appreciate the time you took to put them on my videos! They were not lost on me, and mean a lot that you took time to make them! I am making a new goal to stay on top of these SO much better! They really mean a lot to me! Thank you!!! ❤️
I think I moved pretty quick!! 🤣🤣🤣 I know I did a bit more then I was suppose to. But, I did have some fun with this that day! It was pretty exciting to "beat the clock"
What I really don’t like about The Weekly Home Blessing is that it only addresses the common high traffic areas , not the whole house. What’s supposed to happen to the bedrooms -only dust them on a Zone rotating basis ? Not good enough for me !
00:00 Introduction
04:14 FLyLady 1 hour WHB
07:52 Did I beat the timer?
09:53 Mop Bucket results (1 month of no mopping)
13:08 Bonus cleaning - playroom
Loved this. Ive got to give my mop bucket a dust now. Love the Flylady weekly home blessing hour its such a great weekly routine
Love seeing this in action in someone else’s home. I love the Flylady routine. ❤
It feels so good when A) you see the system is working and B) you have time left over on the timer! Good job, mama!
Your enthusiasm inspired me to put the routines and daily focus into real use for the first time in three years. Especially 15 min declutter and 5 min room rescue. Imperfect is better than no progress. I want to be able to invite people over
I love your motivation to declutter! It is so nice to have the house tidy when guests come over for sure!!! Thank you so much for your kind comment!
You're doing a great job. Remember the WHB is for quick cleaning in the high traffic areas. It will get faster as you go. Save the deep cleaning for zone time. You'll be there before you know it!
I certainly did this space quickly! HAHAHA! I could have skipped my workout that morning and replaced it! I still have so much to learn!!!
That’s what I was going to say! No moving furniture or deep cleaning. It’s just a reset and a “blessing”. Don’t kill yourself. ❤❤❤
You did great!! I start with declutter and trash together for 10, then dust, windex, vacuum and mop last. I change my sheets a different day. 😊
Doing sheets on this day would be SO much! I do them a different day too!
Great job. If you do this on a regular basis it will be soooo easy and you'll be shocked how little it takes to maintain.
Thank you! How long would you say it took you to get to a place that it was easy to maintain? I feel like I am never gonna get there!!!!!

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you watching!
It looks like you finished your home blessing and did a workout at the same time....I'm competitive too so when I cleaning it's like I did a HIIT LOL
RIGHT!?!? I did not anticipate the workout, but I was happy with the surprise!! 🤣🤣

Thank you Abby!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I like to do windows and mirrors when I'm in that specific zone. I don't do them for WHB. Just something to consider.
Oh I like that idea!!
I do my mirrors in the bathroom as part of the WHB, and then the windows and glass in whatever the zone is for the week. It takes me less than 10 min 😉

I dust cobwebs, ceiling fan, baseboards and dust before mopping.

I dust (or wet wipe) first and then I vacuum but if I vacuum first then I wet wipe instead of traditional dust with a duster
Always allow 5min breaks if u need them too 🥰
This is great advice!! Maybe I would have been less sweaty at the end! 🤣

What are considered the main living areas that need the WHB?
This is a good question! For us the upper level is our main living area - and that is pretty much what I cleaned. But, I after reading your question I am realizing maybe the WHB is suppose to be more focused to a smaller area? Is it? I will go look at the website and see what I can find out! Maybe I did way more then I was suppose to?!? (But in all honesty I wanted it all done so bad that I would have done it anyway! My dust bunnies were making more dust bunnies!)🤣
Great video. When are you supposed to clean your bathtubs? I I thought you had to clean the bathrooms once a week. I understand the swish and swipe Keeps your commode and counters clean but do you not have to clean the bathtub once a week? If not that’s great because I have a bad back so I’m not really able to do it once a week anyway
Flylady suggests you clean the shower while you're in it. Tubs, to be done with zone cleaning or before or after you use it.
Have you seen the bathroom "mop like scrubbers" they are on a sponge on a stick so you wouldn't have to bend over as much to clean the bathtub! I am more of a every other week kind of girl - or when I wear contacts in the shower and realize WOAH the shower really needs to be cleaned! Without the contacts the shower looks great! 🤣🤣🤣 I like Jamie's comment of cleaning it after you use it. But, I am usually rushing to get out of there to start the day. Maybe its a new habit I should start! (I searched "bathroom scrubber on a stick" in Amazon and found quite a few. I would do a link for you - but I think links in comments are WAY too fishy! And, do not trust them myself!)
I am due for a shower and tub cleaning!!!
@@ADomesticWannabe Here's my current process: I keep my scrubber brush and a scrub cloth (happens to be the same as Diane in Denmark's) IN the shower at all times. I just clean a *part* of the shower every time I shower (i.e. doors, floor, walls) I squirt some Dr. bronners lavender liquic Castile soap and scrub! For the doors, ever other week or so I also spray and wipe with vinegar water to get some more sparkle ✨ so by the end of the week the whole shower had been done usually 😉
@@nurd87 🤯love it!!!!!!
I would suggest sticking to the 15 minutes instead of trying to get a whole room done. It will happen. This is not supposed to be difficult. Try to be patient
I am not sure Patient has ever really been used to describe me! 🤣🤣 Which is exactly why having you remind me is helpful! And, since starting FlyLady I think I have gotten better and better (sometimes). I am trying another system right now in a new series I started yesterday. But, I know everything will be compared to FlyLady because I learned SO much from her - even with my pretty "not so great/judgmental" attitude I had at times. I learned a LOT and really appreciate her advice! I am going to use her book to do this again after I do my two mystery books! She has big shoes to fill!
I also want to say thank you for watching and commenting - I am catching up on comments and really appreciate the time you took to put them on my videos! They were not lost on me, and mean a lot that you took time to make them! I am making a new goal to stay on top of these SO much better! They really mean a lot to me! Thank you!!! ❤️
you totally get extra time for moving the camera around
I am glad you agree!! It didn't even feel like cheating! haha!
I'm 66. It tak3s me longer to vacuum, back problems.
Takes
It’s supposed to be quick!
I think I moved pretty quick!! 🤣🤣🤣 I know I did a bit more then I was suppose to. But, I did have some fun with this that day! It was pretty exciting to "beat the clock"
Dust, then vacuum. Anything else is inefficient. Ask me how i know!
This made me laugh out loud! Then angry I missed it when you first posted it! PLEASE tell me the story behind you knowing this!!!!!!
What I really don’t like about The Weekly Home Blessing is that it only addresses the common high traffic areas , not the whole house. What’s supposed to happen to the bedrooms -only dust them on a Zone rotating basis ? Not good enough for me !
Yes, dust first, high to low , working clockwise around the room . Then do lower areas and floors .
You do the daily swish and swipe of your bathroom counters and toilets in the morning routine so technically cleaning the toilet wasn't a cheat.
Oh! I like this answer!! Makes me feel more like a rule follower! :)
Fly lady Kat not Kay
I guess she wanted people to declutter before cleaning
