I’m a FlyLady fan. There, I’ve said it. Not familiar with FlyLady? She offers a virtual community to help people who are living in CHAOS (can’t have anyone over syndrome) start to get their lives back on track. It is because of FlyLady that I’ve learned that I can do anything in 15 minutes and [...]
I’ve written a number of times already about how I subscribe to the FlyLady way of “keeping house.” One of things I love about FlyLady is that each month she focuses on developing a new habit. One month it was making the bed every day, another month it was not letting your laundry turn in [...]
One of my ongoing quests is to get my family and myself organized. It’s something I’ve been attempting to do for at least a decade now. I’m wondering if I’m ever going to succeed. You see I came of age in a household where stacking things in piles was the norm, and when you had [...]

(that’s “can’t have anyone over syndrome”). Thanks to FlyLady, cleaning has become a game. Several times a day, [...]
Tomorrow, November 15th is America Recycles Day, sponsored by the National Recycling Coalition. Not sure what America Recycles Day is? Well, in my opinion it should be every day, when Americans don’t have to think twice about recycling, but in case you need a primer, here’s how the organization describes the event: “America Recycles Day [...]
Now that I’ve been keeping a closer watch on our expenses, I’m amazed at how much money we’ve spent getting sucked into “conveniences.” Before we moved we had a cleaning lady, which was a wonderful convenience (in that I could count on my home being spotless every Monday). But thanks to the home organization site [...]
