Love being a FlyBaby =)

Have you ever been frustrated by the clutter that seem to never disappear and even times seem to grow into an uncontrollable monster??? lol. Well, this past two weeks, that what kinda what I was feeling. I was surrounded by things just left everywhere and the piles just kept growing. I WAS definitely overwhelmed! Didn't help of course the I was sick too so that just makes things 10 times more depressing. lol.

Last week, I decided to check out a website that my prof spoke about in my Spouses' Tools class. The website is www.flylady.com. She recommended it if we needed help to get ourselves into a routine or if we found ourselves frustrated and overwhelmed and needed someone to tell us where to start. lol. Well, as you can imagine, I was in that boat and needed someone to organize me and my thoughts. lol.

Anyway, I joined the group and at first it was a bit overwhelming looking at all the notes, reminders, and suggestions but she was quite reassuring to take things slow. As a newbie, I'm called a FlyBaby. I love that! And so there are Baby Steps that as a "baby" I follow to get me going and get me into a routine. =) The first task is "Shine Your Sink". There's a video that I watched about that and it was funny but so inspiring at that same time. I won't lie and say my home is the perfect clutter free home. It's not and it was inspiring that other women where brave enough to share their journey from chaos to shiny and serene! =)

So I tackled my sink and followed the instructions. And I couldn't believe my eyes... my sink was SHINING!!!!!!! WOW! Even my son exclaimed, "Wow, Mom, I've never seen the sink like this!" lol. We all love how the sink and the counter looks and it just seem so contagious everywhere else. Mind you... I have to take it slow and follow the schedule but I'm definitely loving my kitchen/dining area. =)

Here's some pictures! =)
