Squeeky Clean- Housekeeping 101

The munchkins and I have been cleaning out the garage, getting rid of some things we don't need that were in storage, and reorganizing. Isn't it a good feeling when you lighten your load of stuff?

There is a website I came across a few years ago that has a whole housecleaning system of decluttering your home and keeping it clean...all for free! You can even sign up, for free, to receive daily e-mail reminders about what "zone" you're working on for the day and other daily helps. She's called Flylady, and the good thing about her system is that you don't have to burn yourself out getting everything perfect at the start...you just jump right in where you are. In time, as you work on different problem areas of your house along with the normal cleaning routine, you'll soon see such a difference! Is a wonderful feeling to have an organized house and home!

Flylady uses a timer a lot, so that you set your timer for, say 15 minutes, and work on a certain area in the house. When the timer goes off, you're done. I used to follow her routines pretty closely, but as I have gotten rid of much of our unused, unneeded things, I've found that I have been able to simplify my cleaning routine. If you're looking for something to help you be a little better organized in your housekeeping and your daily routine in general, then you should check out her site sometime!
