All summer I've been on the web reading articles, blogs, and e-books dedicated to the domestic arts--particularly ones that focus on being a stay at home mommy. I'm not sure if this is because of the possibility that I could have my work hours cut to less than 20% of their current amount, or if I'm really wanting to be more organized, clutter-free, stress-free, etc. I knew when we got pregnant that my ideal would be to stay at home with our kiddos, but lately it's just more and more appealing.
Anyway, I stumbled across a website--no, philosophy--tonight that just may get me to get all my ducks in a row. The first thirty days of the plan are outlined for you and look super easy--that's my kind of housework. So step one is to "shine your sink". That's it. They even give detailed instructions.
The left side is done and the right side is still in the soaking process, but so far so good. Step two will be to keep it clean every day. I definitely see the merits of having a clean sink each morning when you head into the kitchen to pack lunches and make breakfast. We'll see how long I stick to this. And the blogging too.
By the way, the website is www.flylady.net. I guess this makes me a "FlyBaby". I could think of worse things.
