Day 5

Welcome to Day 5 of FlyLady's Beginner Babysteps. Thank you so much for following along with me. I really love having "friends" do this with me.

I actually think that this is going to be my favorite step so far. I don't know about you but I get really loud nagging voices telling me:

• You need to do this or that;
• I can't believe you didn't this or that;
• What kind of example are you setting for the kids;
• If you won't do it right then don't bother doing it at all;
• etc.

Anyway, I think this step will be difficult to do for me because it's hard for me to reframe negative thoughts into positive ones, but I also see how my negative thoughts are keeping my house and life a cluttered up mess.

Head on over to Day 5 and follow FlyLady's instructions for this Beginner Babystep.

Have a GREAT day, and I will see you back here tomorrow. Read the rest of this post!

Day 4

Today is Day 4 of FlyLady's Beginner Babysteps. Today we begin our "Control Journal" or "Home Management Binder" or "Common Day Book" or whatever you want to call it. Regardless, we start creating it today.

Go to Day 4 and write down the things that FlyLady tells you to. Remember to dress all the way including shoes, and keep your sink shiny.

I will see you back here tomorrow to continue on with our next step. Read the rest of this post!

Day 3

Today is Day 3 of FlyLady's Beginner Babysteps. Another fairly easy day, you would think.....just keep doing what we already did on Days 1 and 2.

But if you're like me the discipline to KEEP ON GOING is lacking. So, sometimes it can be difficult to keep doing something until it becomes a habit. And then read some of the testimonials from FlyLady success stories. They will definately motivate you to keep going.

Go visit Day 3 on FlyLady's website and follow the instructions.

Ok, so keep on keeping on today. I will check back later today and let you know how my progress is going toward FLYing! Read the rest of this post!

Day 2

Today is Day 2 of FlyLady's Beginner Babysteps. It seems an easy thing to do.....get dressed including shoes. BUT I know that quite often it will get to be 4:00pm and I'm still in the same jammies and/or sweats that I wore when I delivered the newspapers at 2:00am.

So, go and visit Day 2, and follow FlyLady's instructions for Day 2.

By the way, how did shining your sink go yesterday? Is it still shiny today?

Have a great day, and I will come back later to report on how I did.

Day 1

Today is Day 1 of FlyLady. Visit FlyLady's Babysteps, and follow the instructions.

It's just Day 1. So, only do the Babystep for Day 1. We don't want to move ahead, and end up overwhelming ourselves and getting bogged down in "it-has-to-be-perfect-itis".

Remember to read "What is in a Shiny Sink" and follow the "Shiny Sink 101" instructions.

Feel free to watch FlyLady's inspirational video, "What's in a Shiny Sink". The music is WONDERFUL, and so motivational! THANK YOU FLYLADY!

Ok, ladies, I'm off to go and SHINE MY SINK!!!!!

I'll be back later today to report my results. Read the rest of this post!
