Just for you, I've added FlyLady's link on the sidebar...
So, this is my 11th day of FLYing. I'm pretty impressed with my shiny sink, and I've been readjusting my routines to fit my still-relatively-new life as 'mom'. Last week went really well in my kitchen... the pantry and about half the cupboards are organized now (the rest will wait till next time)... I really want to purchase a few organizing helpers for my drawers and pantry doors (for canned goods). But we'll see. I AM thrilled with how clean my lid cabinet is now... I had so many lids for non-existent containers in there. Gone now. Love recycling!
So, this week we are in the Bathroom and Junkroom zone. I don't know about the Junkroom... I have the basement and one spare room (on the main floor) that tend to get stuff just put into them... I don't have a whole lot to do in those rooms... they say to unclutter them in 5-10minutes per day. So, today we worked on the spare room in the basement (I say 'we' because I needed my hubby to help with the furniture HE put down there in the first place... haha). It's all organized now... and it only took 10minutes. At this rate, I'll have all these areas decluttered by the end of this week. As for the bathrooms, the challenge was to clean the cobwebs from the ceiling (which is a pain when you have stipple) and then take down the fan and clean it. We have two fans... one in each bathroom... both filthy. Not anymore though! Whew... I had to clean my floor up after that though. Then, for my 15minute cleaning session I did the tubs... ours and the baby tub. All done!
For in the control journal I decided Monday would be the day I plan the meals for the week. So... I did it! I don't know why it is usually so hard for me to do! It really doesn't take long... and now that it's done it will be so much easier for me to get the supper on the table each evening.
I'm just so happy with how much cleaner this house feels, even though I'm not really doing a whole lot more cleaning (only about 1/2 hour per day, and less on Tuesdays than I used to do). Planning really does have benefits...

You do not even want to see a picture of my sink right now....
Hey, I tried FLY LADY for a while, but it seemed quite overwhelming and WAY too many e-mails. If it was broken down and not so much to go through I would for sure try it again.
Glad it is working for you!
I admire you sooo much!
You know, Sab, I have absolutely loved you to pieces until I read this: "It's all organized now... and it only took 10minutes. At this rate, I'll have all these areas decluttered by the end of this week."
Okay, I still love you!
There is not ONE SINGLE ROOM or even a corner of a room that I could fix in 10 minutes...
