I have been trying the “babysteps” suggested on FlyLady.org for the past couple of months. It was going okay when I was doing it alone, but then we went on a lengthy family vacation and I let things slide for awhile when we got back. I kept reading the encouraging e-mails and I got started again. Since my kids are still out of school, I got them involved, too, and now it is going very well. They are so excited about keeping their rooms clean and today they helped me clean up the kitchen, the TV room, the living room, and the bathrooms, all without complaining AT ALL! (And no, I do not have perfect children, ha ha.) Between the FlyLady and the House Fairy I think we are going to make it a good habit to keep the house clean! Yay!
