I have been on Fly Lady for many years. I do OK and then fall off again and again. You videos have been so inspiring to know that you have stumbled over the same obstacles that I have. But your encouragement to start again tomorrow has been enormous help to me. Thank you so much and thanks to Fly Lady for her program.
You are laying the foundation for all your kids to have a healthy work ethic around their home! I love to see your littles helping. Even when they get bored with that, you will still be modeling that cleaning is fast and easy, and a normal part of everyday life. Just think how great that will be for them as young adults! So awesome :)
I finally got around to buying a flat mop like you use to mop your floors. Thank you! It took probably 1/3 of the time to mop all of my floors to a better cleanliness than it is with a wet mop. I wouldn’t have bought one without watching your videos. You seriously inspire me so much, you’re so real which helps me as a Mum know doing my best is ok
I just found your channel and I love your videos! You have beautiful children! I love watching you clean! You make it looks so effortless! The way you break it it up makes it seem less overwhelming! I’m inspired! Thank you from the bottom of my 💜!
It’s so good having you back. The FlyLady system has served so many. I love how you’re easing back and feeling so good. Just doing the daily and weekly is so good for one’s psyche. The baby is so cute and so are you! Have a great day.
We're in different phases of our lives and I'm working on different things but your timing for this reboot couldn't be better. I look forward to the daily uploads and seeing your progress add up. Mine is too, slowly but surely!
Just wanted to let you know that I love your videos! You're always so positive, upbeat, and real. I had a really tough, 5 hour dentist appointment today. I've always had a lot of anxiety when I go to the dentist because of some very difficult dental work that I had as a kid. I listened to your videos and the videos of The Minimal Mom the entire time that I was at the appointment. I picked you two to listen to because I find your videos calming and motivating (needed the calming part today!). Just wanted to let you know that. 😏. ( I chose the half smile, smiley guy because that's what my face looks like right now! LOL!)
lol, poor face :( 5 hours at the dentist is a haul! Thank you for your kind words, I am so glad you are finding them helpful! I love Dawn from Minimal Mom too!
You are so positive! Thank you for saying it's okay to break up the chores for the home blessing! It is so great to be told you can do that and the world won't end.
Stephanie I've been doing the 15 minute declutter wrong for so long!! I thought it was the first step in zone cleaning. You have showed me where I was having a misunderstanding and I am so grateful!! Loving this new series!
You are always of great help! You talked about changing your bed sheets and that reminded me to do the same! Laundry is now in the washing machine and I would not have done it if it wasn't for your example. I love how you talk to your kids when they get your attention... Hopefully I can do that too, someday, let's see what life has for me...
Hi Steph! Great to see you back and looking fab ( and you beautiful babies🥰) I have just broken my foot and can’t walk. It’s do bad to see it all going to pot in the house again but your daily catch ups are giving me faith that I’ll get it all back as soon as I’m ok my feet without having a meltdown . Thank you
I’m so glad to see your videos again. You always inspire me & you are so cute. Your little boy is precious. Enjoyed watching your sweet girls help their mama clean. Have a blessed week-end.
Steph, congrats on your beautiful baby blessing and your family expanding. You are a breath of realistic, encouraging fresh air! I always enjoy your videos and seeing glimpses of your kiddos. Thank you for all you do. ❤ you are a blessing to the weary mama.
I read somewhere that vinegar and water is also a disinfectant, so using it in the bathrooms is a good idea. I use the same in my bathrooms. In my effort to lead a more earth friendly lifestyle, I have sought out alternatives to household cleaning supplies. Did you know that here in the US, the FDA does NOT regulate cleaning supply ingredients for food safety! What! All of those cleansers for counter tops etc! What!! I have discovered Dr. Bonner's Sal Suds and am in love. Economical, safe to use, safe for the environment, fair trade, organic... what could be better? I made an all purpose cleaner with a bit of Sal Suds and water. For surfaces such as tile etc, I add some vinegar. I don't need to dry my sink, because the cleaner rinses so beautifully. As I used up the commercial cleansers, I am using the empty spray bottles for my solutions and then use a marker to say what they are. One of the best things is that I can use essential oils to give the cleansers the smell of my choice. I use lemon because its just such a clean smell, and I add Tea Tree oil for antibacterial properties - so it's a lemony-pine smell. Links below: Page with information on household cleaners www.lisabronner.com/category/house-cleaning/kitchen/ Page with the Sal Suds dilution cheat sheet www.lisabronner.com/sal-suds-dilution-cheat-sheet/ There is a recipe for a DIY soft scrub. It is FANTASTIC - with one problem. The baking soda does not stay suspended in the liquids, so you need to shake the bottle a lot if it's been sitting around for a while. The solution to that problem is given on the website above - make the liquid solution and then get one of those shakers for spices and shake on the baking soda. I used this solution - with the baking soda mixed in - to lean the door to my oven, which never seems to get clean during the self cleaning cycle. I let it sit for 30 minutes and wiped off the door, no elbow grease, just a wipe, and the door looks a though I've never used my oven!
I love how you break up the blessing hour. I have also done that, for example 40 minutes one day and 20 minutes another day.😀 Thanks for your tips I am definitely going to look for a microfiber mitten.
Your kiddos are adorable! I call it falling off the Flywagon :) I don't have a newborn ( four boys 27,26,22,19) but I work outside the home full time so I break up my WHBH too. I'm going to have to add the dusting mitt to my wish list!
Once you picked up the baby I didn’t hear a word you said lol. 😂😍 He is so adorable! I miss those days!!! You are doing so awesome with your routines :) And you little helpers too :) Start them young! It pays off down the road! ❤️
And while I haven’t jumped in with the Fly Lady system just yet, your content helps motivate me to take small steps towards making a difference in my home. Thanks!
Thank u for sharing your sweet moments with us. Your kids are so adorable!!! Proud of you girl your doing awesome!!! And I am feeling better doing something each day. Thank u for your encouragement. And don't worry about your box spring. I have box spring cover on that is different from my comforter .lol..have a nice weekend!!!
Garden clean up for me Friday, quick before it snows again! I will do my son’s bed tomorrow as well.For the forty item declutter ! I weeded through my spring clothes and now have a bag of donations ready to go out. Love your cute little helpers!
Hi it has been a while for me to check in, so congrats on the baby ,I like the fly lady routine because you can pick up when something makes you stop for a bit
Oh the toys!😬 constantly an issue. I'm considering minimizing our inventory. If they seem to have lost value to my children I think I'll donate. Some preschools like them and the McDonald's toys that seem to multiply. Great video! Love seeing your helpers❤
I was inundated with toys for my toddler I just want to hear his stuff and set up a toy rotation. They grabbed some clear buns from Costco and put a variety in each one. Way less stuff for him to get into and dump everywhere. he jumps toys like crazy so hopefully this will help me keep up. missing my girls toys are in the room I will not try to set up a similar system where they don't have as much out at once so they can manage it.
Loving this series.... thank you ☘️xx💕 please can you tell me the proportions of your vinegar/water spray, and do you add anything to make it smell nice? X
How can a mum ever say she did nothing?...even just being there means the world to your kids...also kids stuff to do by mums is a never ending list...doing nothing and a mum can't be used ever in a same sentence...
It's amazing to me how quickly my home is coming back together after 2 months of neglect. The previous year of chipping away with Flylady is paying off now. It helps to know I'm not alone. 💐

Oh good! Anything to make it go faster is a win! Take care Mama 💙🙂
".... which is never (giggle)." You're so cute! Love that baby and those little helpers. ❤️
That sweet baby! My 💝 just melted!
You're teaching your kids great habits. I love that they enjoy helping you. Keep up the great work, Steph! You're a great Mama! XXOO❤

I think you could do it anytime 🙂 in the past I have done declutter 1 day and zone clean 3 days. As long as it is working for you, i am happy 😁😁😁💜

Sweet encouragement!!!
I love how positive you are.
That is a big junk drawer!! LOL
Oh my goodness, your baby looks like a little doll!
Hi Steph! Great to see you back and looking fab ( and you beautiful babies🥰) I have just broken my foot and can’t walk. It’s do bad to see it all going to pot in the house again but your daily catch ups are giving me faith that I’ll get it all back as soon as I’m ok my feet without having a meltdown . Thank you
Oh no! rest up and hope the foot heals quickly :)
If you can do this with a newborn, I can do it with my 3 kids who are a few years older. Thank you for the motivation
I love my Norwex dusting mitt, too! 😀
I’m so glad to see your videos again. You always inspire me & you are so cute. Your little boy is precious. Enjoyed watching your sweet girls help their mama clean. Have a blessed week-end.

Great job, Steph.
You are doing amazingly. 😊❤️

I hear ya.. it is a major pain point in my house.. I swear the stuffed animals are breeding in the closet 😂😂😂
So inspiring!! 👍👍❤️❤️
Aww he is sooo cute!
I was inundated with toys for my toddler I just want to hear his stuff and set up a toy rotation. They grabbed some clear buns from Costco and put a variety in each one. Way less stuff for him to get into and dump everywhere. he jumps toys like crazy so hopefully this will help me keep up. missing my girls toys are in the room I will not try to set up a similar system where they don't have as much out at once so they can manage it.
I need something like this for sure.
Great job!
Baby is beautiful, I would just want to sit and cuddle him. Your girls are gorgeous helping you with the sink. X
Thank you! He is a really sweet baby 💙💙
Loving this series.... thank you ☘️xx💕 please can you tell me the proportions of your vinegar/water spray, and do you add anything to make it smell nice? X
1/3 white vinegar, 2/3 water. I don't add anything :)
The Secret Slob thank you x☘️💕
Yay momma💗💗💗

How can a mum ever say she did nothing?...even just being there means the world to your kids...also kids stuff to do by mums is a never ending list...doing nothing and a mum can't be used ever in a same sentence...
Thank you :) I did do a lot of mumming
I love your videos. Your bed would look so much better with a bed skirt and pillows on top of the duvet.
It's amazing to me how quickly my home is coming back together after 2 months of neglect. The previous year of chipping away with Flylady is paying off now. It helps to know I'm not alone. 💐
Amazing isn't it! Well done :)
