Well, finally having a big enough house for 5 people, 2 cats, and one dog has helped. Plus, I finally got my kids to go along with some of the flylady ideas!! I still visit fly lady every week or two, and it helps remind me of how good it can be. I know my hubby has put out more effort too! I still have to say the same remnders every single day to the kids, but at least it is getting done!

How I did it: We are moving cross country, so we have all gotten rid of "stuff". I just asked myself "is this worth moving cross country AGAIN?" My youngest daughter gave a good bit of her toys to goodwill, and she will have a cleaner room in our new home. I'm very proud of her-it's not easy to give up toys when your 9. I finally gave up several pair of old jeans that haven't fit in years. And I had alot of clothes that I just never wore, so I let … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just had too much on my mind to sit and read news or chat or even e mail. I was(am) in need of quiet time to think. I have 2 news sites, 2 banks, and 2 goof-off sites. I limit myself to 10 minutes, and whatever I get done in those 10 minutes is all I get. So it depends on what my priority is! Read how I did it…

My car is clean!! The kids and I cleaned it with windex and vacuumed every nook and cranny. We cleaned every little cubby and brought in all the little mcdonalds toys, ponytail holders, and crayons. We took a week long vacation, drove all over California and we took several small grocery bags to fill with our snack trash and toss out at the gas stations. And after a road trip-it is still clean!! I’m marking this as done, cause now I am enforcing rules about car clutter!
