FlyLady.net: Your personal online coach to help you gain control of your house and home
She is my good fairy. She told me to go to bed at decent hour, now, I'm always up before the kids.
She told me to declutter 15 minutes a day. We are not living in chaos anymore.
I learned the power of small routines and babysteps.
I work at home and have 3 wonderful kids. I don't feel overwhelmed anymore.
My house is clean, I know what's for dinner for the whole week, I drink my water, I move everyday even if it's just for a walk, I eat good food, my car is clean, my finances are under control, I don't forget anything (thanks to my calendar and my control journal), the laundry is done everyday (one load a day keeps Mount Washmore away), my sink is shining, I have time and peace, I enjoy Special Date Nights with my husband, I enjoy Family Fun day with my kids, I take care of myself and it is easy then to take care of my sweet darling and babies.
Sometimes, routine seems dull, but I never enjoyed life as much as I do now. When you feel good with yourself, with your family and with your home, life becomes a celebration everyday. No more whining, no more culpability about undone chores. I let go my perfectionnism and now I really agree that housework done incorrectly still blesses the family. I set my timer for 15 minutes and I work in one of my Zones.
From a girl who was not even able to make her bed 2 years ago. Why would I make my bed ? I will have to start over again tomorrow ! (Then, why do laundry, why clean dishes, why dust...) My 3 kids make their bed while they are still in it ! Power of habits !
So, join Flylady and shine your kitchen sink ! This is the beginning of a new life
