Cleaning Calendars/Plans

A friend just posted on FB asking for cleaning systems and this just revolutionized my life.  lol

I've never thought to look for something like this.  A few of her friends mentioned Fly Lady - I haven't looked into it yet but was wondering if you have any feedback on that?

Another of her friend's linked to this Home Organization Plan.  I downloaded their monthly calendar for August (including a 'declutter challenge') and I think I just might have a decently kept up house from here on out - yay!

Anyone else have any ideas to share?

  • I did fly lady years ago and it is intense.  you get a bazillion emails a day, but it does help.  I think you can do it for about 3 months and then be able to do it on your own without all the emails.

    This!

    Just save the emails to a file and read them. 

    I'm also a firm believer in assigning my kids chores to do.

  • Thanks ladies!  I'll avoid flylady then, I get enough emails each day as it is... more would make me crazy.

    The other chart I linked to seems like it should work well for me and I love that they include so many "catch up" days.

  • I use Motivated Moms and really like it.  I print the sheets and add to it anything else I need to get done, our dinner menu, etc., but there's also an app for it.
  • I LOVE the Just Mommies site you linked above. It's a great routine to follow and I love the the site is nice and organized and easy to check. And it's not at all overwhelming to get all the chores done, especially with the way they have it listed out as daily and monthly chores..that way if you have a bad day, you're not way behind on stuff :)

    Thank you Bim!  I don't think I ever really made an announcement.  I had disappeared for so long it felt weird to come back and be like "hiiiii!!!  I'm pg!!"  :)  I still don't post a whole lot but I'm around most days.

    Feeling good, just hard to keep up with the kids!  I have GD again (had it with Asher) and that's been a pain more than anything  :(

    How are you?  Your girls are growing up so fast too!

  • I tried Flylady and it was too much for me wiht a newborn.  I use the Just Mommies plan, which is essentially Flylady, I just don't have to make a control journal. :)  I just did a blog post about Just Mommies and other useful things that keep me going...it's in my blog under the label "homekeeping".

    Aw, everyone would have still been thrilled to hear your announcement! I think you're well remembered here, even you hardly post anymore. I know what you mean though...I'm around, but I just don't most much anymore.

    Sorry to hear you have GD again :( A good friend of mine is PG w/ her first and just found out she has it. That does not sound like fun!

    Things are good around here...I can't believe how fast the kids are growing up. You know they always tell you so, but it's like one day you look at your NB and the next day (even though they're long day ;) suddenly you have a 3.5 year old and wondering how you got there ;) LOL. Both girls will be going to preschool this year (Kylie 3 mornings and Alexandra 2 mornings) so I"m looking forward to getting a little break!
