Clients with clutter? Help them Fly!

Do your clients have clutter in their home?? If so here is a FREE resource that is every stagers (or every person's, really) dream.

I started "flying" 3 years ago just before my second child was born, and let me say - IT WORKS!!! Check it out at www.flylady.net. I don't get anything for posting this, but I just wanted to share a very valuable tool that has been a blessing to our family.

We don't have a housekeeper, and even with a growing family of 5, our home is ALWAYS ready for dinner parties, overnight guests and even unexpected visitors.

- ALL beds are made EVERY morning

- There are NEVER dishes in the SINK

- I wash, fold and put away at least one load of laundry everyday

- Bathroom is cleaned DAILY

Think I am crazy??? Just check out the website and you can live like this, too. I will say that for the children there is a great program called the HOUSEFAIRY. This program does cost but it is less than a dollar a month I believe. It has the kids begging to clean & you can't beat that!

Hopefully this can help some of you, especially during the stress of school starting up and all of the wonderful extracurricular activities that go with it - seems there is never enough time to just sit down and relax. Plus you can take a nice vacation with all of the money you saved by not hiring a housekeeper!

Gotta go, my computer time is up for the night - but I hope some of you can benefit from becoming a FLYBABY!

Interesting; my newest baby was born in January and I am just now starting to feel more mental energy to tackle projects around the house and have been on a total re-organizing binge. I am excited to peruse this website and learn more about how to get back to my old standards of cleanliness and order.

Hi Jessica,

Just about everyone, myself included, could use this. If it really works it could be a boon to our occupied listings.

In our crazy busy world, we could all use a bit of help in this area. The main thing is to keep doing a little bit each day so the tasks don't become overwhelming! Thanks for the tip.

I am intrigued and am off to go check it out. I actually love to clean and organize, but have had less time to do so with my work schedule. (Trust me, that is no complaint):) Thanks for sharing!

I too am a "fly baby". I heard about it here on the rain...... I love Fly Lady!!! She has a letter in her website called "Butterfly Wings". I read that and just cried. This wonderful lady knows me better than I know myself. It really hit home. I hope everyone can check it out. Thanks for posting, I've been wanting to get the word out too. :)
