Any FlyBabies In the Village?

Just curious as to whether there are other people following the FlyLady system, and what their take on it is.

I belong to her site and I get emails every day.
I think she's a little intense and I am
no way close to keeping up with all of it.
I do try to do things in 15 minute intevalls

I, too, signed up for the e-mails. You get a LOT of e-mails. I haven't kept up with everything, either, but I find that it is helping.

I signed up for the emails and printed off a lot of the lists and such. There are lots of emails with lots of good ideas.If I just had the energy that these folks seem to have, it would be great LOL I don't think my home will ever be spotless and organized until all the children are grown.

Take Care,
Susan

Me, me

House is still far, far from perfect, but much more organized than it used to be. Flylady was one of the only things that helped me survive when I was a working mom - house is gradually looking better now that I'm staying home.

Ive been involved in the flylady system since i got married 5 years ago. Ive never truly followed it because i believe you have to make it your own. Though ive used her methods, along with the Pam and Peggy SHE books. There is also a yahoo group i use because i like to have lists around the house and these are cute ones....(im talking i have lists taped up in my cupboard doors and such)
So if youre looking for lists http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FLYingFrannyKickers/ is great one. She has some very neat lists under the files that with word you can change for your schedule. I especially like but i don't have kids is the Kids Journal Pages, very cute and a great way to get kids started in being organized and having routines i think.

Yep thats how i was in the beginning, then i just had to make it my own, i use some of her principles but defintely not all of them. like i do not wear shoes in my house which shes frowns upon, also i dont just do 15 minutes i do it until its done but within my routine. Also i do the zones per a day not per a week.

I am signed up and I use some of it. Still struggling though!

~I'm a member! 4 years now. Even have the official timer and duster(and year before last I had the calendar). I am such a perfectionist that I will think and plan the best way to clean for hours and never actually get anything done. After reading the site and emails I got curious about how long chores actually take. Almost everything that needs doing CAN be done in 15 minutes! Kinda opened my eyes to what a waste it was to procrastinate over such small things. I really need to re-do all my routines to include educational activities with Roman. Haven't updated them in over a year.~

**AheeK** · 04-09-2007, 08:44 PM

I stumbled across the site and ended up reading EVERYTHING on it. I love a lot of her ideas...I can definitely see how having a routine can save your house and your sanity when you're a mom running after kids. I don't need to use much right now, but I have the site bookmarked for when my life gets busier.

**Lady_V** · 04-09-2007, 09:14 PM

i joined.... but its 50/50 that I can even find my sink

**Seraph** · 04-10-2007, 12:37 AM

Me! Me!

I like a lot of her ideas, but had to do some serious tweaking to make them fit my family's lives.

And the emails are a bit much. I rarely have time to read any but a few a them every day.
