00:00 Introduction 02:30 Why I am trying something new! 03:34 What is on the 2 hour home reset list 08:48 Let's clean! The big 3 11:18 Polish the sink - "Shine that sink!" 13:27 What is next! 18:43 2.5 hours later - Results!
I have to sit down and watch! She actually is why I even tried FlyLady again! I watched her shine the sink video and was like, I should try this again! Then I purposefully stopped watching, ONLY so I could create my content as my own, and not infringe on what she has created! Now that I am past the 31 baby steps - it is absolutely time to sit down and enjoy her stuff!! I think I am going to try her version in the fall! So many people have said how great she is! I can't wait! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
@@ADomesticWannabe she has a lot of free downloads and she eliminates a few things that are minor or unnecessary. She’s using fly lady so there’s no reason you’d be infringing
Thank you Allie for keeping it real--we're all there with you! I follow the Flylady system after testing out a few others. Although I can't watch her videos--her system is awesome. I have now graduated from "fluff & buff" to "Swish & Swipe." I find The Secret Slob tells you everything you need to know about the system. You are now one of my Flylady heroes. Take it a day at a time--one hour at a time--15 minutes at a time. Yes, take time off, regroup and as Scarlett O'Hara always said, "tomorrow is another day."
Reset was awesome! Another trick I use is to take a picture of my space. Then I look for things that I can improve on. This really helped me to see the visual clutter that needs an out of sight place to live or to be gotten rid of. I think you would learn to have an empty laundry basket with folded laundry as satisfying as the shining sink if you did that task daily too. I remember how you used to lament shining the sink. You're doing great! Keep up the positive mind set.
Oh my goodness you are so right! Do you remember ALL the eye rolling I did! 🤣🤣 I love that empty, shiny sink now! I have a few habits to still perfect! The last few months have defiantly proven to be harder to put a routine into place then I anticipated! But, I am seeing where I want to improve, and making a plan to get there! So in all honesty too - I just walked upstairs with a fully loaded basket of clean clothes (dried last night) not folded. I got to the top of the stairs and put them on the end table. Walked over to my computer and thought - oh I will check comments.......I will now go fold the basket because of you!!! Thank you!!! 💕 It is like you sensed what I was doing in real time, and in real time I was going to put it off until after lunch! 🤣🤣 My not yet wrinkled (I hope) clothes thank you too!
I was a Fly baby a few years ago I learned Laundry has 5 steps 1sort 2 wash 3 dry 4 Fold 5 PUT AWAY I learned from But First Coffee not to leave any thing drying on the cabinet I do have to change the 8 steps up a little bit We downsized Nov 1 22 So I only have one set of sheets for our new adjustable bed I need so many things from my total home preheat and want for my new farmhouse look But I loved the reset It works for me I live in Arkansas and I never got used to wearing shoes We wear flip flops from the 1st hint of warm til the 1st hard frost I am old but I am trying hard to use tidy habits daily and bless my husband
Have you checked out the secret slob? She has a 21 days to a clean home thing and does her own version of fly lady. It's much more simplified and easy to follow.
Definitely a good idea dealing with the house 1st. You would be working hard in the garage and coming into a house that needs your attention too, would feel defeating. For how long you went doing floors you’re water wasn’t that bad. Yes I agree, about the floors and vaccuming when you have pets, feels much better. You are going to feel so good when you work on the garage and after the garage sale.
It would be really hard to do the garage sale and do all the FlyLady steps! It was super nice having the house clean and ready for it! And there really is nothing better than having the floors clean! Everytime I mop I'm so happy!!! ❤️
Hello! Love, love, love this video!!! I started watching another one of yours when you were going to be doing the fly lady way of cleaning and I got so stressed out by it that I didn’t finish the video. I am, however, delighted that I decided to watch this video because I love the system you used. Doing step 1 throughout the house and then step 2 throughout the house, etc, was very calming to me. By the way…you are adorable and very personable. Take care and be safe
Thank you so much!!! My dimples have been my favorite thing about my smile since I was a kid! (I can do a cool trick with them too)!! 😊😊 I am so glad you liked my video! Thank you so much for watching!!
Love this! Sometimes you just need a good house reset. As you build your flylady habits a big house reset becomes less and less necessary but hey life gets busy and sometimes you just need to tackle things! 👍💖 Great job! I really struggled to get things done this week so I put on this video and tackled the remainder of my home blessing.
I am so glad this video helped get what you needed to get done done! WOO HOO! This reset felt so good! (Even better that I got to enjoy a few days with it staying clean) 🤣🤣
I loved this video! You made it look so easy! I have to go clean that monster I call my kitchen. I also LOVE getting up to a clean kitchen, but it didn't happen this morning..
Thank you so much for watching!!! Go get that Monster!!! I know what you mean, sometimes it just doesn't get done the night before! Today's a new day! Tame that monster! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow! All the house was shining after that reset!! (Thinking carefully about editing the FlyLady App Weekly Blessin routine to look a bit more like this reset myself!) Keep shining that sink!
It really was a neat way of doing a reset! I liked it a lot!! OH! And, you would be so proud, I have been plugging away on my garage, but have still managed to shine that sink each night (well for the last 2 nights anyway)! I almost did not clean it last night, but then just did it anyway! WOO HOO! I think my coffee tastes better today because of it! 🤣🤣
Jax Knee 0 seconds ago You are doing amazing. it’s nice to see a real house. Have you seen the minimal mom. She talks a lot about inventory by reducing it you save so much time. You have got rid of masses though! Or the video on TED how many towels do you need.
I will check them out! I feel like each time I declutter I get closer and closer to getting it down!! It feels good to let go of things! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Great video! Have you checked out Cas at The Clutterbug yet? I think I started with Jordan Paige, then David Allen and getting things done (because work and paper overwhelm is huge for me), then evolved through Fly Lady and The Clutterbug. Though there are many many other youtubers including Sophisticated Organization and But first coffee that got me to where I am now which is content with where I am :-)
I have a list of TH-cam creators that have been recommended! I will be sure these are on there! I am anxious to try some other methods and routines and piece together what is best for me! Thank you for the recommendations! ❤️
Think you need to incorporate Dana K whites strategy. Remove trash first. Then take it there now. You are moving those towels around instead of taking them all upstairs and fold them and put them away then and there ! 😅 Also that rubbish in the garage ( never mind a garage sale - we dont do that in Western Europe 😮). Just get a skip and say goodbye- thank you for your service. Thats Marie Kondos thing. We all love flylady, but others also have great things to encourage us to get organised!
Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well just take one day at time first time seeing your channel I follow the fly lady system I call it routine love from Eugenie your friend xxx from Australia 💤🏡💜💪🌞
Thank you so much for watching! I am sorry I for taking so long to get back to you! I really appreciate you watching my videos and your kind comments!!! Thank you!!!
Have you checked out Dana K. White (A Slob Comes Clean)? She was my first introduction to the concept of decluttering and I'm a believer. Her books, in my humble opinion, are better than her videos. She's amazing and I highly recommend her!
Flylady has something called crisis cleaning. I saw on an email but it might be on the website. 15 minute clean in 3 different rooms then 15 rest. Continue as needed. The Secret Slob has 5x5. 5 minutes with timing racing in 5 rooms
Love Kallie - But First Coffee, I've been following her for a few years. She has great motivational advise and ways to streamline home keeping in so many areas. She has a great personality as well. You know she was on the Rachel Ray Show? Steph - The Secret Slob - also does her version of the Fly Lady, you may want to check her out for some ideas. Shannon Torrens - is a homemaker with good systems in place. She is a minimalist but streamlines cleaning routines. I think the Fly Lady System is too difficult to follow, shouldn't be that much work to maneuver a system to do house work. That's the point of doing a system is to make it easy and streamlined not more complicated. Just my opinion. I couldn't relate to the Fly Lady System at all, but love the Secret Slob and But First Coffee. I give you a LOT of credit for all the effort you're putting into making the system work. I think you should come up with your own system, the Domestic Wannabe System and take the parts from the others and convert them to your situation. You have a large house from listening to you, a room for just about everything and 4 bathrooms; that's a lot of house to keep up with. I like your outgoing bubbly personality and hope you figure out a system that helps you with your needs.
I LOVE this idea!!!! I think you just created my next personal goal! The Domestic Wannabe System!!! Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words!!! Looks like I have some work to do!!! 😊😊 I'm up for it! ❤️

Someone has already said this but the secret slob is the best breakdown of fly lady system.

I have not watched her fill version! I watched the first 2 or 3, but did not finish! Maybe it's time to revisit! 😊

I might actually try this... but I definitely think it will take me more than 2 hours!

Just thinking back to the beginning of your babystep journey. Shine my sink? *eye roll* And who wears shoes IN the house!?!?!? You're doing great!!
Was I ever an eye roller!!! I am a changed women! 🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
