Flylady

by

A couple of you have mentioned Flylady in your comments.  I was actually introduced to Flylady’s program back in 2005 and can honestly say she turned my life around!  While I may be a financial mess…I do have an organized household and plan that keeps a busy group on track and productive.  If you haven’t looked into Flylady…please do.  She can be found at www.flylady.net and she really can change your life.  I remember when I discovered Flylady.  It was just after a neighbor stopped by my house unannounced and as she spoke to me in my front entryway, I realized she was having to stand on my dirty clothes that were overflowing out of the laundry room!  Talk about embarrassing!  That moment jump started life changes in me and near 7 years later, I’m still living a pretty “flylady” life.  I love her decluttering tips and her “zones.”   There really is something for everyone on her plan—and you can take what works best for you and watch it make a difference in your life.  I’m learning now that an organized life really does lead to saving money!

 

It is because of Flylady that I am a regular menu maker and why I still take 15 minutes a day to clean up a “hotspot’ in the house.  Good stuff here…give it a look…and THANKS FLYLADY!  And thanks to those of you who have reminded me to get back to checking in with her!
