What’s For Dinner? Do those words fill you with dread? What about when it’s 5 o’clock and you still have no idea what the answer is as you’re standing in front of the refrigerator just hoping something will assemble itself and jump out at you? Now do you feel stressed out? At this point, many …

Making My Bed. Day 15 of Babystep Challenge To A Peaceful Home

DrKim — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:03:00 +0000

Babystep 15 is to make your bed. I have had this habit (regularly) for more than a year now. I love the way it makes my room look; even if other things are out, the bed being made sets the tone. When I bought my first down comforter for the winter here (I’m from Miami; …

I Can’t Catch Up. Day 14 of Babystep Challenge To A Peaceful Home

DrKim — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 03:26:00 +0000

You Can’t Catch Up. It’s impossible. This is a very important concept in life. Things keep moving, and it’s almost certain that you won’t keep up with everything. But what you do when you realize you’re “behind”, and more importantly how you feel about it will make all the difference in what you do next. …

DrKim — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 05:00:00 +0000

On Day 13 of Flylady’s babysteps, we are to choose one of Kelly’s missions and do it. I love the way this is done. Each day, Kelly sends out one “mission” to accomplish. It’s something in the current zone, and usually will take less than 15 minutes. By dividing the house up into 5 zones …

On Day 12 of the Flylady’s babysteps, we are instructed to delete all of the emails that have been piling up. I really like this. I’ve been on the mailing list for a couple of years. The reminders are good. The testimonials really are helpful and inspiring, and it’s good to realize that it’s ok …

Declutter. Babystep Challenge To A Peaceful Home Day 9

DrKim — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:45:00 +0000

This is where the challenge heats up for me. Where it becomes….a challenge. Where I have fallen short in the past. I’ve done these things before, but I’ve not made it a habit to do it every day. And it NEEDS to be done every day. Flylady’s babystep #9 says to declutter a few minutes …

Pick Out Your Clothes For Tomorrow–Babystep #7

DrKim — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 09:00:00 +0000

I love this one. But mostly for the children. In the morning, it’s chaotic enough to get everybody ready for the day without all of us still needing to pick out our clothes. Inevitably a child will tell me that he can’t find socks, or a shirt. (This is because I really need help getting …

Hotspots–Babystep Challenge Day #6

DrKim — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 11:29:00 +0000

Time for Flylady’s Babystep #6: spend 2 minutes putting out a HotSpot. What is a Hot Spot, you ask? Well, it’s a cluttered area that tends to attract more clutter. It’s your dumping ground. It’s the first thing you see when you walk into a room that makes the room look messy and makes you …
