FlyLady Challenge
I know there are a few clean and organized home challenges going on here, but I am starting FlyLady and I was wondering if anyone else would like to join me. I've started a few times and I am always veer off track. I thought maybe if was reporting back here I might keep up with it.

My kitchen sink is shiny as can be. Before I go to bed, I am going to do my bathroom sink too!!

I've been trying to do Flylady for the past 10yrs. It does work ! I follow in spurts but I now know what I should be doing and how to make it look like I've been doing it. Next week is my last week of work before retirement,so I will no longer have an excuse!

From what I can see you can still work her system without the emails. Just check her website or write the system into your calendar.

I've used a version of the flylady system for about 6 years. It works for me. We recently built a new home and I am trying to get my new habits instituted in the new house.

I am on day 2 and honestly I just stayed in my PJs. I did the sink thing and then set to work on the the Zone for the week ending today...the kitchen. I also did many 15 minute hot spot extinguishing sessions. Worked well for me. They house is looking better and I am tired so it must be working!
