FLY LADY DAILY ROUTINE! // Day in the life of a Homemaker // (CLEANING MOTIVATION)

[@TheSecretSlob]

Hi Tabitha! Thank you so much for doing this collab and for your kind words about my channel :) Fantastic video, I loved that you showed how you use the timer and the app to keep your tasks organized. You are looking super cute mama, can't wait to see that squishy baby :)

[@ThisMamasHouse]

You’ve inspired so many in this FLY Lady system! The pleasure was all mine! 😍

[@shopwithjen]

Love this!

[@Chrisplainjane]

So glad to find another lovely mama to help me find motivation when I just don’t feel like it. Love this collaboration!

[@HISHappyIncheslittlehomeStead]

Two of my favorite KZbinrs ❤ yawl both have helped me so much

[@anniebourne7143]

Thank you. As a mom of 5 grown kids & 10, almost 11 grand kids. You're a breath of fresh air. I was given a lot of heck for having my kids do chores, animals& yard work when they lived at home. Many blessings to you & you're family

[@karenpatton8850]

I’m here from the Secret Slob channel. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.

[@johnjerusha]

Yes, I would love to know how you do this with kids and what your kids do to help out/ what chores they have. Thanks for the video - Jerusha

[@thewadsquad]

Waiiit the fly lady has an app now!! That’s awesome! I love how you adapted her system to work for you! 🎉

[@Diniecita]

Right? I downloaded the app. Its pretty cool. I have trouble remembering what Im supposed to be doing each day.

[@heyrosanna]

I use gloves for anything toilet related, and clean the toilet brush before putting it back (water and a drop of bleach over the bowl) or then I am just cleaning the toilet with a dirty brush just sayin'

[@sohappytogether88]

I tried fly lady many years ago but the mail and her blog overwhelmed me and I completely forgot it. You put it much more simple and doable 💞 , I'd really love to "see" in paper the routines, I still I see a random chores at random days in my brain🧠🥴

[@sohappytogether88]

Thanks for the nice printable of daily routine !!!

[@cambriaperez2865]

I'd enjoy seeing kids routines bc as a mama with many kids here as well I'm drowning in housework with having to do it all. While they're all destroying it behind me or they're on devices doing absolutely nothing for me. We are getting ready to move. So I am constantly decluttering, simplifying, organizing, packing things up and going through things to get rid of so that i don't have to pack a lot of things up we don't want/ or use with us. In the new house i am definitely implementing the fly lady system better to keep up on things.

[@kassierex8371]

I have multiple sclerosis, and a back injury and frequent migraines, I was having g a very hard time keeping up with everything and mommin and in alot of pain. I went to PT and bio feedback and they recommended the fly lady to me and gave me some print outs about it. I got on youtube and found her and everyone else and it changed my life. My PT said she recommendeds it to every mom who comes in. ❤🙌

[@traciecarlson4706]

Also thanks for making a printable. I laminated your weekend checklists and love those.

[@5674Kc]

I always forget about using a timer! I definitely get more done when I do use one. 😌Thanks for this video

[@ABeautifulHorizonTV]

Get it, Tabitha! Love the Fly Lady system so much. 🥳

[@cambriaperez2865]

I really enjoyed you going through the app and how to customize it. Thank you for the printable pdf as well. I'm a paper person, but don't always know what to write down lol So, it's nice to have a game plan already typed out.

[@pattyelaine9563]

I came over from Steph’s channel. I’ve been following the FlyLady routines, my own version, for years but have never tried the app. I also love using timers!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

I love Steph at the Secret Slob too. You are also very easy to follow and seem at ease. New subscriber😁

[@acrobaticanna]

The Secret Slob sent me. I am watching from Australia 🇦🇺

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Amazing! Thanks for coming over

[@helenhartley6904]

I found Diane in Denmark invaluable to learn and start the Flylady system. She has been doing it for over 10 years! I wish I'd known about this when I had young kids, but even now it is like magic.

[@katelynnstevens4325]

I love your channel, I am new to homeschool and excited for this journey. I was wondering if you could share your version of the fly lady. I am a mom to four children ages 10 to 2, and it seems a little overwhelming. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@jenw8323]

I’d like to see her version too! I homeschool with four kids as well.

[@tgawron2233]

The Secret slob sent me I'm watching from Massachusetts! Great video Tabitha. Thank you!

[@lisascheller6014]

Excellent video. I, too, use the Fly Lady app. It was great to see someone actually do the routines. I agree this is a great way to manage your home.

[@sandracalip9369]

YEEESSS 🥰 okay you have no idea how excited I was to see you doing this! Thank you ❤️

[@lornabaez3803]

This video is amazing and inspiring. I never heard of fly lady but I just downloaded the app and can’t wait to start. I’m now 23 weeks pregnant and this video made me wanna start nesting early lol thanks as usual tabitha 💜✨

[@crazysleepintime]

I suggest reading the books too if you want to get into the FlyLady system (Sink Reflections and The CHAOS Cure). It lays it all out. After reading them, I finally understood how to utilize her methods snd have been able to stick with it.

[@theresacustard5131]

I agree taking time out for ourselves (selfcare) is so important for stay at home Moms. I'm going to use some of these tips that you are sharing.

[@kylieghnicole]

I use The Budget Mom too. Love her planner and budget book!

[@LisaHice]

I love the Fly Lady System and Step from secret slob. It has been a game changer for me using the system.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yesss!!!

[@sufficientgrace0511]

Can you share how your kids do chores while you do your routines? I got a lot of encouragement!! “Progress not Perfection” Thanks a lot❤❤❤❤❤

[@ThisMamasHouse]

That’s a great video idea

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

I have used the Flylady system for a few years. It makes keeping my house clean so manageable.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

That’s amazing! That makes me feel good that it really is sustainable

[@packnetadaija]

I just finished watching Steph's video and I love DITL vids

[@jamieanthony6527]

I used to get so frustrated because I couldn't fold a fitted sheet perfectly. Now I accept that just folding it the best I can is good enough. Like fly lady says about it not having to be perfect.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yes! I’ve had to accept a lot of imperfections too

[@karenhoward8542]

AWESOME, especially having to do home schooling too!!

[@haralsonkaylak]

Love your channel. So realistic.

[@jamieanthony6527]

love the finger snap and the dishes were done. Oh, so wish could do that really. But it feels so good to have a clean sink. Also, sometimes doing dishes relaxes me, chill time.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Right!!? I wish it was done in a snap. I’m trying to enjoy it more by watching a show or listening to a podcast while I do it

[@patsalas5170]

😁who knew. 🤷‍♀️ I've been on my own since I was 18...so I've been a fly lady for 54 years 😄❤️❤️💕

[@faith6971]

Love Steph! I’m happy you are collab-ing (is that a word?) with her!

[@MomOfMany]

I’m going to try this! Mom of seven and I feel like I am always behind

[@sbellalopez9284]

"Huge secret slob fan here" now watching all you accomplished with your belly (I can see you're almost due belly dropped) hands down inspired !!! New sub

[@shopwithjen]

Love your channel! Great video friend!

[@andreallamas3416]

Really motivating!! Love this 💕 and congratulations on the new life that will come so soon. Xoxo

[@LindaASJ]

Steph sent me and am I ever glad she did! Here’s what I got from your video: 1. Watching you, who at any moment could give birth, I need to stop whining and get going on the routines. 2. There’s an app? What? Life changing! I just downloaded it and am booking along on my day Great content! I subscribed and am sharing.

[@dotgoodwin4312]

Great u r helping others with this!

[@agoodwifeofficial]

wow this sooo needed thank you for sharing this!

[@slaughterlove1612]

Another great video! I'm also pregnant but with my 3rd baby. I'm due april 8th.

[@samanthabaker5336]

Can you do a video on how you and your husbands routines interact? When my husband gets home I get lazy and just want to spend time with him and do nothing 🙈

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Same haha. I wish I had a better abswer

[@GeinaVellaSmith]

I loved this video! I watched the whole thing! Thank you!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

This was great! I've been researching flylady. I really want to try this. You do make it look easy.

[@ALIA_ALIA21]

Eres increíble 😍 con tantos hijos y tienes tiempo para todo felicitaciones

[@sweetteajesus6267]

I'm new here, just came over from Steph's Channel. I enjoyed this as I need to get back on track with Fly Lady!

[@katrinadunlap8918]

@This Mama’s House I just wanted to say I accidentally hit the dislike button, but I do NOT dislike this video! It’s actually one of my favorites.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Aww thank you!

[@meaganhall7502]

Hello! New subscriber here. I’ve tried implementing Flylady in the past but it has never worked out. Now that we have finally moved into our new home and are out of our temporary home, I’m finally able to find homes for everything, and am looking forward to implementing systems for keeping up with it all as effortlessly as possible. I also have a large family….. I’m a mom to 6 sons ages 10 and under, and am also a homeschooler!

[@normaspinale940]

Loved your video. It doesn’t work for my life I’m a working mom I leave my house at 6am. Plus I’m super organized and ocd about my house. But I love some of the ideas you gave.

[@annabelmiller8]

25:48 is THE mom face. I make that kids with my kids over everything 🤣🤣

[@hannahgrinder4486]

this was very encouraging! I also am enjoying the app! new to your channel: )

[@Mina-sn5qg]

Looking from Sweden and smiling a little. An app called Fly lady would not work here, as people would question why it is made for only women. Most people share household chores with their husbands. It is interesting how different it is in different countries 🙂

[@tammywerking1115]

Hi, I liked & subscribed from A Secret Slob’s channel. I’ve been doing the fly lady but didn’t even realize they had added an App so thank you for that info! I have a stove almost exactly like yours and feel like I’m cleaning it all of the time! Good job!!

Found you from the secret slob. Great video. I am trying to get with the flylady routine. I have been wanting to for decades. I just have to make the first step. I'm going to look at that app and that sounds like it could be a very helpful. I appreciate what you are doing and I'm looking forward to more videos on this subject. Thank you.

Hi :) I came over from The Secret Slob channel :)

[@natashasamaroo9525]

This give me so much motivation ❤

[@nancysilva908]

Hello Tabitha! New to your channel and loving it so far. And what caught my eye and loved instantly was the cross over your bed. I have one over my bed and in each of my sons’ beds as well. I had one over my bed when i was a kid as well. There are times where i would like to redecorate my bedroom and thought about moving the cross to another wall in my room, but it feels weird to me. I feel that Jesus is there to protect us while we rest. :)

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yes! I actually just got a new crucifix in the mail today! I felt it matches my room decor better so I’ll have it blessed them hang it up

[@taniayoungson5614]

Hi, great video! Found you through the secret slob video. I tried using flylady last year. I printed out the zone lists, but so many of the tasks did not apply to my house. I'd end up blacking them out, adding my own, switching around the zones to include different rooms. So long story short...I gave up. Currently I use the printable for a weekly cleaning schedule on Steph's channel. That's been working really well. I love the fact that you mentioned the flylady app and how it is customizable now. I downloaded it and changed it up completely for my house and zones. Looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks so much!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Thank you for coming over! I was so excited to see the editable zones!

[@taniayoungson5614]

Started using the app today. It's fantastic now that I changed it to reflect my day and zones. Got so involved, I was checking boxes off like a crazy girl! Lol

[@paulagardner3218]

Here's why I don't like Fly Lady. There's no closure on any of the tasks you're doing. I like to start a task and see it through to the end. That closure is a huge hit of endorphins. Which isn't to say I don't need a routine; trust me, I do. But I haven't seen one yet that works for me.

[@dannifulker7494]

Great video 👏🏼🥰

[@lucafriends567]

You make it all look so effortless! Also, more collabs please! :)

[@annabelmiller8]

I keep checking your channel and I see nothing has posted so if you're in the middle or have had little baby - CONGRATULATIONS! LOL 🥰🥰🥰

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Not yet. I got sick 😑

[@feliciameduna7749]

Hi! I just found your channel and it looks like we have similar life interests. Thanks for the inspiration. I like flylady and I had no idea they have an app. Sweet.

[@laurasiniski8271]

Do you have an app or Checklist on your phone.? I love your video I subscribed today and very happy to watch the many that you have

[@jmljasmine]

I could use advice for what to do with a 2 and 4 year old during morning routine. My 4 year old could do a 5 minute routine maybe but still often needs direction in real time. The 2 year old... (My oldest is 6 and she does private school so I can't rely on her).

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I would just try to include them as much as possible. I know my 2 year old loves helping to wipe things with a cloth.

[@annetteordonez4450]

[@zormier2002]

Where is hubby? What does he do?

[@krystalgardner1109]

After watching your laundry routine I changed the entire way I do laundry. The kids don't hate doing their own laundry and I'm less overwhelmed with just mine, tha baby's, and the husband's vs everyone's being washed and dried and piled up on the laundry couch 😬

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yayyy!!!!

[@bitrudder3792]

❤️👏🏻 I love doing laundry now because of 1 load a day! I also dedicate closet space to pre-sorting loads, including one called ''tumble and ignore'' because so many of my clothes hang dry, or need to be folded quickly!

[@dianakempson2887]

Years ago (15+) I tried reading about this method of house keeping and I was completely overwhelmed. I’m in a different season of life with my kids and homeschooling, running around 3/5 school days. One of those days we are gone from the house for 6 straight hours for group classes. How would I go about adapting the method when I’m gone an entire day? Also, totally relate to the perfectionist avoiding tasks because it can’t be done right.

[@irishlizzie]

Check out Secret Slob's video from a couple years ago where her sister works and is gone during the day. She used FlyLady principles and adapts it to her schedule.

I work full time and I do the weekly home blessing distributed over different days. My house is decluttered so I only focus on the tasks in the app and do it once I have time.

[@melisahaynes4573]

For the stove I seen there was a video to use Vaseline so I don't know I haven't tried it.

[@annabelmiller8]

We have an almost 2 year old at the end of this month and we ALWAYS still call him "the baby" and I'm pregnant again with my 4th. 😅

[@heartsockmonkey]

That’s so funny! My “baby” will be 2 at the end of this month, EVERYONE still calls her Baby, and I’m pregnant with my 4th too! 😂

[@patsypryor9850]

Did I miss it? when did you have time with the kids and where was hubby in the evening? or just excluded for video purposes? That is one lucky man! ( I didn't see an afternoon nap or rest time for a pregnant mom so important) Bless you.

[@sallycroft2191]

New subscriber, from Steph,'s channel. Great day in the life of Flylady's routines. Timer really does help keeping the pace. Looking forward to seeing your recent decluttering vlogs. Getting a dumpster on driveway shows how serious you were in decluttering.

No but I should! I usually just do a couple cans of tuna, mayo, mustard, parm cheese, mozzarella or feta, garlic, salt pepper, sautéed onions, celery and peas! Then I cook some noodles and mix it all together with some milk and put it in a casserole dish with shredded cheese on top and bake until melty!
