Right!?! I was too focused on her not burning herself to hear what she was saying. It wasn't until I was editing till I heard it. Gave me quite the giggle.
Hey girl. Love the video. The weekly home blessing is meant for a quick clean. Set a timer for 10 minutes. And only spend that much time on each task. Secret Slob says. Good enough not perfection. Shannon, you are great and I love your channel ❤
Like Angela said, you’re “supposed” to set a timer and just move on. I can’t do that. It drives me nuts to leave stuff unfinished. Also, you were doing post party and post spring break cleaning so that’ll take longer. The Home Blessing it’s just a quick clean of the high traffic areas, like you mentioned. You were doing some deep cleaning. So don’t be down on yourself for not being able to do the Home Blessing faster, you were doing more like home rescue and Home Blessing put together. That’s OK! Sometimes we need to do that! Also, you have a good sized house and I really get the feeling that the zones are set up for smaller houses. I always have to add in more time because I have so many more rooms than what Fly Lady has in the zones. My high traffic areas just seem to take longer than the 10 minutes on each home blessing task. So you’re doing great!! Thanks for the video!!
You. Are. Precious♥ Also thank you so much for showing us how to make the list!!! So much easier than I was imagining!! You are not alone with the crazy stuff that kids do lol. "The sniff test is always a risky move" :D So true!! You did a great job!
I’ve been doing Fly Lady for many years. You will find that your Weekly Home Blessing gets faster each time you do it, as the house will be in better shape. I call mine “The Weekly Slap Dash”. Hit just the spots that ‘company’ would see!! The rest will be covered by the zones. For dusting, get yourself a dust mitt and literally walk around swiping the top of things as you go. You’ll figure it out. Trust the process, things won’t get better over night, but gradually as your routines become established and you move from zone to zone - throwing in a weekly home “slap dash” cleaning. Your home will always be presentable, and you won’t be stressed out about it. More of an even keel than either clean or a disaster area. Keep trucking - you’re on the right road now!
I found my car key inside a kid's mitten recently. Luckily it was on my kitchen table instead of the thousands of other places it could have traveled to. I totally get the "How and When and Why did the kids do this" question. 😄
Personally I find the weekly home blessing takes less time if you do it every week. Plus, the zone cleaning helps to keep things tidy and decluttered. When I do the weekly home blessing I don’t clean under carpets or furniture, that is for the zone cleaning.
True and I find weekly homeblessing hour gets easier if you have kept up with your daily morning and evening routines. It takes double the time if you don't clean away dishes and clutter first
As a perfectionist myself, my house was always messy. FlyLady is a good system once you go through a whole month. Cleaning my sink each night really does set a positive vibe in the a m. And USE a timer for every WHB. It’s easy to get off track but the timer will at least restart you on the next task. Biggest thing, always take care of yourself first. It’ll get better 😁
I saw a few comments mention this, but the weekly home blessing is supposed to be short, sweet and to the point. 10 mins per task, setting that timer, stop and move on to the next when done. High traffic only, saving the detailed cleaning for the zones. I totally understand why you'd need to do the extra the first time through though since you're still starting out. But when you do a quick once over once a week to start with, things definitely will stay cleaner. Love your content and you sharing your learning.
Great job! Hysterical moment when the cord wasn’t plugged in. That’s me to a “T” except I wouldn’t have figured it out so quickly. For the home blessing you can break the tasks down thru out the week. It’s meant as a quick spin thru the high traffic areas. You were doing a post party deep clean which is cool too. I would just go easy on rest of zone cleaning for the week. You’re right. I can’t even come close to mopping and vacuuming whole house in an hour. So when I’m doing my zone cleaning like living room, I super deep vacuum and mop that room. Wipe doors and mirrors if any and super deep dust and polish. If doing blessing in that room I might do a quick swifter dry or wet in any messy spot and might just hit the noticable dust with a swifter wand (not polish). When blessing I might mop the kitchen but just highlights other rooms. I always wash sheets on Sunday but don’t do any other cleaning except dishes then. I’ve added a halfhour to my weekly one hour zone clean. I break it up over several days so I don’t get over heated and whooped. This last week I did living rm. Washed rugs one day. Curtains another day. Deep vacuumed all furniture and floors (and base boards). Mopped another day. And last deep scrubbed all the wood furniture w murphy oil soap. In no time (short bursts every day) it looked like I had just spring cleaned it. I did dishes, trash, light bathroom tidy and swish swipe thru out the week. Minimal work and house looked great for Friday guests. So key is deep clean on zone room(over several days) and then lightly clean others to maintain. Keep smiling! So happy you are feeling better! The steamer is a keeper! I’m thinking bathtub or shower grout and some serious car detailing in my world with it! Hugs! Em 🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷
I think you did an amazing amount in an hour and a half. I usually do my evening routine (which includes sweeping and a quick tidy) and my morning routine (swish the bathrooms, load the breakfast dishes) before I do the home blessing. All I really do for that is dust/wipe down and mop each room and that keeps it down to around an hour.
I am an empty nester, retired Grandma. I worked outside my home from the time my baby was 6 and created a schedule for cleaning 30 years ago and still do it today ,instead of trying to clean everything in a day. My children were responsible for keeping their “Stuff” out of the main living area or they had to buy it back with extra chores. A 5 year old can do an amazing job of dusting or picking up trash etc, even if you have to follow behind and redo,he is learning. I still tidy each room before I go to bed, makes it really nice to get up and walk into a tidy kitchen etc. in the morning , also easier to find the coffee if everything is in its place.
Also, if you watch other youtubers I highly recommend dianne in denmark. Love her ways of explaining the fly lady system also! And I love your kitchen!!!
Loved the video! For the FlyLady weekly home blessing (WHB) you just do 10 minutes on each task (set a timer). When mopping/vacuuming you only do middles of high traffic areas and you're not going for perfect just better. One tip that I do is every Sunday night we have a whole house "tidy" where we put things back where they belong then when I'm vacuuming/mopping the floors on Monday things aren't in the way. We try to do a tidy every night but we always do Sunday night. It also makes dusting go quicker. With dusting I bought a FlyLady feather duster and then I can quickly go through the house lightly dusting without picking up and moving items. Mirrors/glass you just go around and clean spots not the whole mirror (that's zone work). I'll spend a couple minutes on patio door with pet nose prints but still not the whole door. Another thing, I don't do mopping/vacuuming, mirrors, etc in the current zone for the WHB because I come back and do detailed mopping etc for my zone work. If I have the time and energy I might do the zone detailed vacuuming/mopping on the same day and WHB & 15 minutes zone clean for the day are done. I've been doing FlyLady for 5 years and it gets easier. Just do the best you can and try not to go over the time limit. Over time if you stick to your routines, 15 minutes of zone cleaning (only 4 days a week), and the WHB, every week, your house will continue to get cleaner and easier to maintain. Sticking to the time limit keeps you from feeling overwhelmed and getting exhausted. Sorry for the length but I hope you'll be able to find some of my info helpful. I'm so proud of how well you are doing and just keep trying to tweak the system to fit you!
Shannon you did great. I think things like whb and zone cleaning will go better when you keep up with the morning and evening routine which tackles hotspot messes and counters and dishes. My morning routine takes around 20 minutes including laundry and dishes and countertops in the evening takes less. Have a look at 31 babysteps lists and maybe from this develop your daily routines then the weekly homeblessing and zone cleaning will go so much easier as you are doing too much in the weekly homeblessing hour now. Don't despair get the help as you are doing .You are making great videos and please make sure you take care of you with plenty of time for something that you enjoy
I think the time to do the Home Blessing should take as long as is needed. I'm a Senior, so I don't move as fast as a younger person. As my Mother used to say, "If your floors are clean, the rest of your house looks clean". Blessings!
Love video. 1st problem was you changed the system by adding decluttering to the original list. You really aren't suppose to do anything until after you completely declutter because FlyLady says, "You can't clean clutter!" Good luck!
The secret slob has a real simplified explanation of the weekly home blessing. I’m pretty sure you’re cleaning too much. I don’t do a WHB but I love Stephs explanation of it. Diane in Denmark also simplifies it really, really well. Great job though💕
The ghostbuster line is my favorite. The thing I know from following lots of home journeys is that every five minutes you spend gives back. You’re doing a great job! ❤️
Hello friend. One of you subscriber came over to my channel after she said you mentioned my channel in one of you videos. I wasn’t able to find that video but just wanted to thank you. Btw, you’re on the right track with the weekly home blessing. Just remember to mop and vacuum high traffic areas only and do a quick dust throughout your house. Don’t lift items up. It helps to start the timer after you have completed your morning routine so that way you aren’t working around dishes, messy bathrooms etc. Thank you again for mentioning my channel. ❤️
That 1 hr a week to clean the whole house is crap, so do not stress about the time. I've been doing Flylady for years, and it has never taken me less than an hr. Once you do it a few times you will know realistically how much it'll take for your own house, without comparing yourself to somebody else. You are doing great, I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to watching more!
Weekly blessing will go quicker after you have cycled through zones. You really cleaned those floors! Sweep up big stuff and let your buddy roomba do rest. I loved your little guys reaction! So many great things happened today. You should be very proud! Love your videoes.
Hey there! I honestly don't know how to simplify either. There is no way I could ever get my house properly cleaned in an hour and I keep it pretty tidy. Thanks so much for doing these videos though. As someone who also has 'good days' and 'bad days' I appreciate that you are open and honest about it. It's not easy navigating life with that kind of unpredictability. Kuddos to you!
I smile and laugh through all your videos! Your realness and the expressions you get on that beautiful face of yours are hilarious 😂 I’m past that stage in my life now but I remember and can relate. This time goes by quickly and you have an amazing husband and beautiful children. How blessed are you…😘😘
Your stream cleaner looks awesome the best part is you can clean your oven and clean your shower those to things is the hardest for me so you can clean them more frequently
Vacuum, dust, mop, polish doors and windows, purge magazines, change sheets, and take out trash is all that is on the weekly home blessing. I think you did an outstanding job especially with all the extra stuff you added in! Been watching for your next video! So thankful to have found you!
In my weekly home blessing, I wipe all the light switches and door knobs along with any lingering finger/handprints. I have grandkids here multiple times through the week. I also check all corners for cobwebs. I change my sheets this day also (I take off the dirty ones and immediately make it with the clean set - I have two sets that I rotate). I found it so much easier to remake the bed right then so it is over and done. I give the main bath an over-all wipe down (because again…grandchildren 😜) plus collect all the trash and get it outside (trash pickup is the next morning). I check my plants for watering and will then sweep/vacuum and mop the hardwood floors. Not sure if they can be steamed clean but I’ll check into it and maybe get one of the steamers…it looked like it worked really well!
Keep going girlfriend! Each week will get easier with the weekly home blessing and the zones and everything! You are doing great and getting the kids involved will make a big difference also . ❤️
Your chairs! They are antiques!! Research em. Restore! My grandmother had a set with matching table , picture frame, & mirror All the same mahogany wood and cherry/ black nut color !
I don't normally comment but I've notice you've been missing for a bit and I hope you are doing OK. Can't wait to see your next video. Praying for you and your family.
You are so funny. You keep it real. I think you do a really good job cleaning. You clean like me. You are so open about not being motivated and you don’t act like you are this fake mom. There is no way these you tubers are always happy about cleaning up after kids
Hi! I'm brand new to your channel and I really enjoyed this video....your daughter saying "I feel like a Ghostbuster" was my lol for the day!! 🤣 Looking forward to many more videos!! 💗🦋🦋
Hey! First of all, wow, steam dealy is amazing. Yes, like everybody has said, set a timer for 10 minutes per task. If your house is especially grimy, you will NOT get it all clean and shiny on the first pass. Ten minutes won't be enough. BUT, you will hit it again next week! Again, just 10 minutes per task. And soon, it WILL be shiny. You'll have a head start because you were so thorough with your mopping, so that's great. But you don't have to spend so much time. Like you said, save it for the zone cleaning. I'm going on my second full month with Flylady, and it's taking me much less time to get into the nitty gritties now, after just one month. Also, a hack: I get worn out from a full hour of speed cleaning. So I break it up over the week. I spend 15 minutes per day doing "home blessing" tasks. Sometimes it's just one thing off the list, but by the end of the week, it's all crossed off. 👍
I wish I’d had the routines I do now in place when my kids were little. A 5-minute pickup before mealtimes would have been a game changer. Or just one daily 5-minute pickup. 😁
haha I thought I was the only one who helped their robot vacuum. I run around with a broom and sweep out corners toward the middle. And of course pick up stuff it can't/shouldn't pick up.
I agree, if you do the weekly blessing each week and then follow up with zone cleaning it will work. It took me about 6 weeks or so for it to really work and formed to see the difference
Love that you show real life mess and the struggles most of face keeping up with kids and a house❤️what color of paint is on your kitchen walls? My cabinets are the same color and that color looks great with them.
I just learned about your channel and decided to subscribe! Now that we're virtual family....my boyfriend cracks jokes on me when I say 'Sea-Mint' instead of 'cement'. When I heard you say it, I was cracking up! I'm not alone! Hahaha! Not making fun of you, just simply observing I'm not the only one that pronounced it like that!
Loved the video! First time watching! And your home is really nice!! And I love that Steamer😀 IM THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING ONE😀 ok see you soon byeee! BEBLESSED 🙏🏽
Weekly home blessing. Make bed, swish swipe . Mirror n faceplate. Walls. (Swipe). Then kitchen sink , shine. Hot spots cleared. And floor mop traffic area. Vacuum traffic area . Entrance area n back porch :windows, kitchen windows. 2 mins (play FLYLADY music) stop at 2mins when music stops. You’re done.
Hurray for being sent a nifty product! That’s definitely a good price. Wondered why you were pushing it around.. with the cord following 🤣 happens to us all. Yesss 😣 about oatmeal, and daggone fruity pebbles!
Love you and your videos! Today is my 67th birthday so no work for me today! But you motivated me to clean more this week and declutter. Our townhouse is pretty tidy but could use some love!! You are funny and genuine!! Keep going girl!!!
"I FEEL LIKE A GHOSTBUSTER!!!" is literally the best endorsement for a steam mop ever!!
Right!?! I was too focused on her not burning herself to hear what she was saying. It wasn't until I was editing till I heard it. Gave me quite the giggle.
If you want to see something that spooks you, turn it around and take a look after cleaning 😂

Weekly Slap Dash is way more fun to say 😂
I so appreciate how your cleaning a real lived in home not power some people just tidy up a pristine home

Oh no! That’s one of those places you don’t think to look 😂

Shannon girl your videos are inspiring. You are my kinda people. Keep the videos coming. I really look forward to them!
Oh my word, my kids lasso laundry baskets, too 🤣
Hello Amanda
Shannon you did great. I think things like whb and zone cleaning will go better when you keep up with the morning and evening routine which tackles hotspot messes and counters and dishes. My morning routine takes around 20 minutes including laundry and dishes and countertops in the evening takes less. Have a look at 31 babysteps lists and maybe from this develop your daily routines then the weekly homeblessing and zone cleaning will go so much easier as you are doing too much in the weekly homeblessing hour now. Don't despair get the help as you are doing .You are making great videos and please make sure you take care of you with plenty of time for something that you enjoy
I think the time to do the Home Blessing should take as long as is needed. I'm a Senior, so I don't move as fast as a younger person. As my Mother used to say, "If your floors are clean, the rest of your house looks clean". Blessings!
Love video. 1st problem was you changed the system by adding decluttering to the original list. You really aren't suppose to do anything until after you completely declutter because FlyLady says, "You can't clean clutter!" Good luck!
The secret slob has a real simplified explanation of the weekly home blessing. I’m pretty sure you’re cleaning too much. I don’t do a WHB but I love Stephs explanation of it. Diane in Denmark also simplifies it really, really well.
Great job though💕

Ooooo that’s a good one
Your kids aren’t the only ones. I have so many things taped (we had the glue talk before) up around my house that I don’t even notice anymore.
Hello friend. One of you subscriber came over to my channel after she said you mentioned my channel in one of you videos.

I love that you’re REAL. Thank you
“I don’t know what these bits do!! ( I learned the user manual explains it all)” - I could have said and written that myself 😂
my baby boy will be 5 this year too. he also has lots of energy. 😊 everytime I see your son he reminds me of mine. he also has two older sisters.
They gotta be energetic to give those sisters a run for their money 😂
Your stream cleaner looks awesome the best part is you can clean your oven and clean your shower those to things is the hardest for me so you can clean them more frequently

I got to be honest it makes me want to try the thing!
😂😂😂
Thank you for demonstrating how to use Google docs!
6:30...got my tea in hand and an evening with you all!!!!!
Hey hey!
Kuddos to the hubby & the kiddos for helping 💕.
Hi hun. I'm new to your channel. Thank you for being an honest youtuber about all things life and mental health journey. ❤
Keep going girlfriend!
Each week will get easier with the weekly home blessing and the zones and everything!
You are doing great and getting the kids involved will make a big difference also . ❤️
You are doing great! I think when you get a routine down you will get faster!
Love your videos, especially want to thank you for the mini cours on the google list. I love lists and will use it thank you very mush😊
"This is probably cream of tartar" 🤣🤣🤣 I just love how real you all are!
I don’t even think she knows what that is 😂
@@LeafLikeOnATree that makes it even more hilarious! 🤣
Love your humor. Keep working with fly lady it takes a few months to make it yours.
Your chairs! They are antiques!!

I don't normally comment but I've notice you've been missing for a bit and I hope you are doing OK. Can't wait to see your next video. Praying for you and your family.
Was wondering when you would realize that you were far away from the outlet 😆. That would of been some cord length. That was a funny moment.
I had my husband order me one for an early birthday gift. There's a $50 off coupon right now, which made it even more affordable.
Ornament found over the weekend 😁
Glad I am not the only one. They keep appearing out of no where over here.
New year new you way to go
Thank you for your honesty about your home and the Flylady system. Progress, not perfection!
You are so funny. You keep it real. I think you do a really good job cleaning. You clean like me. You are so open about not being motivated and you don’t act like you are this fake mom. There is no way these you tubers are always happy about cleaning up after kids
I love seeing clean spaces. You did GREAT!!
Hi! I'm brand new to your channel and I really enjoyed this video....your daughter saying "I feel like a Ghostbuster" was my lol for the day!! 🤣 Looking forward to many more videos!! 💗🦋🦋
Hello Susie
10 minutes per task, just the middles. Deeper in the zone
I loved my first steamer
Hey! First of all, wow, steam dealy is amazing. Yes, like everybody has said, set a timer for 10 minutes per task. If your house is especially grimy, you will NOT get it all clean and shiny on the first pass. Ten minutes won't be enough. BUT, you will hit it again next week! Again, just 10 minutes per task. And soon, it WILL be shiny. You'll have a head start because you were so thorough with your mopping, so that's great. But you don't have to spend so much time. Like you said, save it for the zone cleaning. I'm going on my second full month with Flylady, and it's taking me much less time to get into the nitty gritties now, after just one month.
Also, a hack: I get worn out from a full hour of speed cleaning. So I break it up over the week. I spend 15 minutes per day doing "home blessing" tasks. Sometimes it's just one thing off the list, but by the end of the week, it's all crossed off. 👍
Hi I was just getting ready to order the bissell steam cleaner. I saw your channel I am buying the Doker
Hi I only found your channel today , I have loved the videos I've watched so far , I have subscribed 💗 💖 💕 💓
Welcome! So grateful to have you
You are fun & enjoyable 😊
I wish I’d had the routines I do now in place when my kids were little. A 5-minute pickup before mealtimes would have been a game changer. Or just one daily 5-minute pickup. 😁
Yep found a Christmas ornament lol. I love my steam mop and Swiffer.
Great job with the chairs. Shabby chic.
My kids do that I'll get home and there will be taped papers all over the living room. One day I'll miss it. 😊
Great video... I had a steam mop.like yours... But it broke after alot of use... If you have hard water, get distilled water!
Ahhh my kids glue things to the wall!! I had never seen another kid do that. You’re not alone.
We've got some creative kiddos!
yeah my kids do crazy stuff too. 😂 sniff test is risky!
remember that however you do the work it blesses your family!!!!
I love that fly lady motto.
Happy birthday to your son! My daughter (only child) just turned 13! The days are long but the years are so, so short!!!
So So true! I always remind myself of that on the tough days
haha I thought I was the only one who helped their robot vacuum. I run around with a broom and sweep out corners toward the middle. And of course pick up stuff it can't/shouldn't pick up.
I have tried flylady on and off. I like your way of flying. Thank you. You are very inspiring.
Look forward to your future zone cleaning videos
I agree, if you do the weekly blessing each week and then follow up with zone cleaning it will work. It took me about 6 weeks or so for it to really work and formed to see the difference
Thanks for sharing!!
Love that you show real life mess and the struggles most of face keeping up with kids and a house❤️what color of paint is on your kitchen walls? My cabinets are the same color and that color looks great with them.
Your video wasn’t even over yet and I already bought the steam mop 😂 I’ve been wanting to do the grout on my floors! Love your videos!
😂😂😂 You get to feel like a ghostbuster too!
That steamer is great! Happy Birthday to your little guy!🎂🎉🎊
Omg!!! Ur 5 year old is absolutely adorable!!! Awww... they grow so fast... it's scary!!! My youngest is abt to be 14 and I've already cried abt it.
It goes so fast 😩
Love love your videos! Also love that you take the extra time to include the song titles!
Ornaments! Yep. Haha
Love you and the channel
❤️❤️❤️ love you too Susan
I think you and your crew did a great job. There's nothing easy about keeping house but I am grateful for all the modern conveniences and tools.
Hey girly! New to your channel and I just subscribed! Ready to watch!❤
I just learned about your channel and decided to subscribe!
Now that we're virtual family....my boyfriend cracks jokes on me when I say 'Sea-Mint' instead of 'cement'. When I heard you say it, I was cracking up! I'm not alone! Hahaha! Not making fun of you, just simply observing I'm not the only one that pronounced it like that!
Too funny! My husband makes fun of me for the way I pronounce words all the time. 😂
@@LeafLikeOnATree, I said what I said, and I meant what I said! Haha!
Loved the video! First time watching! And your home is really nice!! And I love that Steamer😀 IM THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING ONE😀 ok see you soon byeee! BEBLESSED 🙏🏽
