Day 3

Helllo all!

Off to another great start today, began the morning by vacuuming the entire apt., and washed all the dishes in kitchen, cleaned counter tops. Shockingly I made the bed right when I woke up which is unheard of, but I hope it is a habit that sticks. (Unless dh is still in it, in which I guess I could just roll him out hehe). Went for a really nice walk around the local university track yesterday and stumbled on a lost tennis ball. So not only does Buttercup love a made bed, but he loves his new toy too. :)


God bless all, I will not be posting before and afters today, will be going into work later on this afternoon so I am very happy to know all the basics have been taken care of around the home.

Day 2 Bathroom Before and Afters

Bathroom used to be daunting to me, I would let it go so badly that I would just give up all hope. While the before picture is not at all flattering, it is still much cleaner than it would have been the first time flying. But still, there is such a big improvement! I'm happy with it. :)

Day 2

Good Morning Fly Ladies!

Have already been up since 6 AM, and considering I only got four hours of sleep that is no small victory! I normally hit snooze about five times before finally giving up and getting up, but this time it only took one.

My main focus today is the dun dun dun...bathroom. I will be posting before and after pics later of course, to show my progress. :)

I will also keep up with the newly cleaned kitchen, its amazing how quickly dishes pile up even with just myself and husband.

Most importantly, I will be studying for my anatomy and physiology class that starts in January. I am already studying so I can be ahead on the first day! :)

I forgot how awesome it is just to shine my sink. Step one of the fly lady, a clean sink makes a happy home :)

Day One

I am back with my day one....starting fresh. While I have continued flying throughout the year, I have fallen off the wagon in my schedule...so I created a new blog!

If this is your first time viewing any of my posts (used to be organized rachel) then welcome! And if you are not new thank you for continuing to support me and my journey to successful, peaceful, and organized living.

There is a twist to my lifes journey now...I am back in school! I have completed one semester so far (all A's thank god) but in the process now have a messy home.

This blog will be about finding a balance between home, life, and school.

Later I will be posting new before and after pictures...keep in touch!
