Getting Back to Basics

[@catherinefox7832]

I know this is over a year old, but just found you and your singing my song. I batch cook cause I work, only two of us here but if I cook a curry or stew I make enough for 10 then freeze what we don’t use, then I have 5 dinners pre cooked for two people. I even freeze mash potatoe portions. I love your talks your life changing and making it simple. Got my lace up shoes done, my sink is shiny and I’m so glad I found you. 💓

Hi Catherine. Thank you for your sweet words and for sharing your great flying routines in the kitchen. (FlyCrew member, Paddi)

Who is watching in 2020? I’m so thankful for FlyLady! I’m a new mom of 2 young babies and she is changing my life! Real talk, she lifted my depression too. I’m leaning to FLY. I was guilty of staying in my PJs as a SAHM and not caring for myself as I should. Progress not perfection!! 💪🏻💯

"That's what we do in the south, we feed people!" Yes, we do! Love you my dear!

I struggle with what to make for dinner whenever my husband does the grocery shopping. I like to make soup and sandwiches when I don't know what to make, but my hubby isn't a big fan of sandwiches. I'm so glad that you're discussing dinner ideas. How about home-made scalloped potatoes, ham and broccoli/califlower. I would never survive without a crock-pot! I have three---small, medium and large. It's great in summer because it doesn't heat up the kitchen, but it's great all year-round! Anyone have some basic KETO meals?

[@clarityhomestead6063]

I just found you today fly lady and im so grateful i was about brought to tears. Ive been in a miserable rut and you are just what i needed. Now i am excited to make a routine and get my home in order. Thanks so much for passing on your wisdom.

Even just putting a large glass of water in each room, or a pan of water in each room helps to humidify a room BECAUSE it EVAPORATES DAILY!! It can evaporate several inches a day!! No need to steam or boil it. Just refill it daily! 👍❤️😉

[@drpaddi]

What a great idea. thank you Donna Norris.

[@bonnieinnocentini369]

Love you Marla! So much free advice and encouragement! You have ideas for everything and you've been there. I fly on and off, but once I get back on I am so hopeful. I live with depression all the time and you give me so much hope. Thank you!!!

[@katherinejeane7810]

How about creamed dried beef on toast/mash potatoes/peas? Fly Baby Goldie

[@Familyman329]

I just put chicken and veggies in the crockpot. Boiled eggs for sandwiches tomorrow and used the extra eggs to make French toast with my 3 year old son using the bread heals to help entice my family to eat them. They hate the bread ends. Haha! If they don't eat all the French toast, then I'll cut strips and freeze them for breakfast tomorrow! Yay!

[@Cathy-re2eo]

I made spaghetti in the Instant pot! I cooked ground beef in the instant pot on sauté first! I divided it between the spaghetti for tonight, combined 1/3 of ground beef and combined to make chili to freeze in freezer bag and the other third, I mixed everything besides cheese and shells for beef and cheese enchiladas!

[@IntoTheMysticTarot]

We got a foot of snow in my part of NC! Me and 4 kiddos had the flu for 10 days and I'm struggling to get caught up on laundry again and putting the house back together (it exploded here!) All towels blankets and sheets got spoiled during the plague! It was a nightmare! But thankfully we're finally over it..I think. I have a new determination to make things as easy as possible (cleaning. .putting things away..meal planning..homeschooling. .) I'm getting back to basic! Thank you! Love ya ♡

[@heidiandbretz9867]

Brilliant! Teach the kids to use a calendar! Such a small yet important idea!

[@gbshades]

Wow, just found you - looking for help in getting out of this chaotic vicious cycle I’m living - and I already love you. Thanks so much! May God continue to bless you.

[@jillmcaleese6514]

I love your wonderful energy, and also your baroque accent and way of talking. I could listen to you all day! London

[@prettybrown8537]

Mother, this blessed my socks off! Every chaotic/disorganized thing you described summed up my whole lil life to a tee. This put fire under my but so to speak. Ty Ty Ty ..Love from East Texas!! 😚

[@kathleensarmiento932]

"I know me...." 🤣 Self realization is powerful ! 😍

[@MsShera217]

I listened to your post this afternoon, whilst I was home for a change. It was fantastic listening to you while I started bulk cooking meals for my freezer. I was listening to you, and was using what I had in my cupboards and freezer when you mentioned using what you have... My home smells delicious, my brother is coming for his supper tonight and I think he's gonna be spoilt for choice... Thank you for everything you do for us flybabies xx

[@christineriello4669]

Great health advice. I had the flu and a sinus infection and it was awful. I can't wait to get back to basics after being sick for a month.

[@kcag5347]

"A load a day keeps Mount Washmore away!" You heard it here, folks! Thank you for the smile.

[@davlynholt797]

This video is SO relevant today even being years ago❤️

[@purple_leaf5770]

Thx for another great video! Back to basics are the most helpful when you become a fly lady or fly baby

[@lisaann6267]

i am having a oriental vege mix, grits and small gala apple steamed in the microwave with cinnamon and sugar. and finishing up my bottle of sparkling apple cider.

[@rebeccaleif874]

You are awesome! You have many great ideas! I do many things that you do but you have more great ideas for me to use!

[@Terry8885]

Love you Marla, your system changed my life! God bless.

[@patrickfamilylife9027]

Another awesome video! I get so much inspiration and motivation from these videos! The past month or so I’ve really been struggling with morning sickness so my house has kind of went to the wayside and I’ve been using all my energy on the kids.

[@sarahsmith4424]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT!

[@kathrynossoff9524]

I keep white cheap wash clothes for my face washing when I do my make-up. I have nicer wash clothes for my shower. My husband keeps paper towels on the counter in the bathroom for wiping down the sink after he shaves. I hate having those paper towels there. I think they are ugly and costly. Because instead of using the hand towels to dry our hands after we wash our hands we grab that expensive paper towel. Just think of the money we could save if I took my basket of white wash clothes for all the purposes you mentioned. -Well I just stop the video and talked to him about it. We will see if it works.

[@saintinlower48]

You're making me think twice about my attachment to paper towels. Hmm, you have a point.

[@paulnagel5846]

You look so pretty.💖.Thank you for helping us.You keep inspiring me.

[@ryanmcintyre5203]

Love the calander. I make sure to order a new one every year.

[@amywjn]

Love your videos! Been with you forever!

[@Mr123ccfm]

Freezer taco soup and cornbread!

[@LC_from_MO]

FlyLady I have loved you for years and yes, I believe it is a good thing to get a flu shot, but this year it was less than 10% effective. Most years it’s better than that, but at best, it’s only 50% effective. However it is better to have that extra immunity. So bless you for your loving message and Thank You 🙏🏼

[@ashlayyy4118]

Thank you for this. ❤

[@ronnalambeth6226]

Watching again in 2021🥰❤❤💞💞

[@annarussell3751]

I hope to improve my meal planning this year. Tonight is spaghetti with whole wheat pasta and Italian sausage, lowfat crescent rolls sprinkled with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.

[@ryanmcintyre5203]

Anna Russell where's the veg?

[@sewrosew5331]

[@Pisces3139]

Mystical heart Thank u so much for your reply.

[@ronnalambeth6226]

Her wonderful husband ❤

[@catharineinniss9906]

You are too cute!

[@tinanuse-tolar4916]

Pan chicken quesadillas

[@lisaann6267]

the water suggest was great, you can overload the kidneys. they can't handle a lot of water. you can end up in the hospital doing that.

[@MsSarah999]

lol at using a calander in your phone means you are 'depriving your children of learning how to use a calander'. They can learn how to use a phone calander. It's not a hard concept. Also this whole conversation is massively confusing - get clarity before 'teaching' and the 'lessons' will be clearer.

[@dotink]

I agree about the calendar. I have no idea how to use an abacus- things change lol
