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

[@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.

[@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

[@yessdls]

Finally I understand the flylady method with all three parts integrated in a single day routine. I was really confused with that, and I'm all clarified thanks to you my dear. It's February 2024 and I'm really happy to have found you! After almost a year of trying to learn and apply this method, I can finally do it. Thank you so much, dear Tabitha, and God bless you and your wonderful family. Love from the Dominican Republic❤🎉🇩🇴

[@kelley3448]

This is awesome. Motherhood is such a blessing and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed so thanks so much for posting this and showing us how even you can accomplish so much with 5 and almost 6 kids in toe. Can’t wait to see the new Kelley Krew baby boy soon ❤️❤️

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I hope you give it a try and that it helps you!

[@karenpatton8850]

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

[@rubylinden9977]

This video was so encouraging! I'm not a mum, nor am I married but I live with my disabled mother and I have a lot of chronic health issues so cleaning and keeping the house tidy is one of my biggest battles, but I like the way this method breaks it up into really small things, and for the overwhelming things you set a timer and don't feel pressured to have to get the whole job done. Thank you for sharing!

[@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

[@alejandrafernandez710]

I had been waiting for this! Thanks Tabitha! I love the secret slob channel as well. I'm planning on starting FlyLady tomorrow! Thanks for all this information and sharing your day on flylady!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !!!

[@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. ❤🙌

[@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.

[@jrenehofmann]

the most important step each day is quiet time with God 😍🤗🙏

[@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!

[@traciecarlson4706]

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

[@cruisepuppy]

I didn't know there was a flylady app - I'm definitely going to download that tomorrow and give it a try! Thanks for sharing your day and routines with us! I'm a huge fan of Steph's channel and have now subscribed to yours, too!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

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

[@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.

[@tgawron2233]

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

[@5674Kc]

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

[@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!!!

[@traciecarlson4706]

It's so great that your kids have a routine too. I have tried but mine just waste time and than I feel like we need to just start school or we'll never get to it. Would love to get them solid on a morning routine at least.

[@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 ❤️

[@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!

[@Elemenohpea440]

We just had our sixth baby a few months ago. Love watching your video!!!

[@ABeautifulHorizonTV]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@jamieanthony6527]

The timer idea has helped me so much! I am getting more done, and it feels great :):)

[@patsalas5170]

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

[@bonniegarland4236]

I follow Steph(The secret slob) and you both are amazing! Thank you for sharing this video. You’re getting it all done while super pregnant You’re amazing and so motivating! 💗. God bless you and your family!

[@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

[@hopefoster8006]

You are very good at explaining the system.

[@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

[@acrobaticanna]

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

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Amazing! Thanks for coming over

[@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

[@deza711]

Been waiting for this video !!! Thanks so much for posting ! Would love to see a day in the life with the routines in place . I want to see when you homeschool and what the kids chores are too !! Thanks so much ! It’s been a struggle to try to keep a clean house while homeschooling 4 kiddos and having various out of the home outings several times a week .

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Homeschool day in the life will be out this month!!

[@elizabethbaxter4996]

Glad I found this video at 11pm on a Friday night lol I’m downloading the app now and I’ll start with the morning routine after my morning coffee. Also this video reminded me I need to go put the dishwasher on 😂🤦‍♀️ then I need sleep 😴 wish me luck 😂🤷‍♀️

[@alisonlee7944]

Hi Tabitha, i think your just amazing, i am absolutely hooked on your videos! I have watched them all, as a new comer to your channel,, just want to say Thanks for always sharing, so many great tips for cleaning and a Great mum to your kids. ☺️ 🥰

[@AbuelitaPaloma]

Love that you have a binder and the kids have theirs does your husband also have a separate binder or did you just create a section for him or do you guys share

[@jenniferronco3781]

I’m pregnant with my 10th. I’m thinking if she can do it so pregnant, so can I! On top of it, you most have mostly littles, and I have older kids to help! You do it so joyfully too! I tried doing FlyLady again after your last video and got overwhelmed, but I did not know there was an app! I love it! I’m on the second day of completing my routines! Thank you! ❤️

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Oh that’s so awesome! 10 kids is amazing

[@jenniferronco3781]

@@ThisMamasHouse God is great! There’s never a dull moment, and so much fun! ❤️

[@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

[@faith6971]

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

[@slaughterlove1612]

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

[@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.

[@andreallamas3416]

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

[@Growing_Green]

I had no idea there was a free app! The bonus of being able to edit things is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yes! So excited about that

[@bridgetg2661]

Hi! I love your Miraculous medal and Brown Scapular :) God Bless you and your family ✝ Thank you for your video 😺 Love from Australia🌏

[@packnetadaija]

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

[@haralsonkaylak]

Love your channel. So realistic.

[@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

[@sparechange5815]

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.

[@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

[@karenhoward8542]

AWESOME, especially having to do home schooling too!!

[@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!

[@MamaBellshome]

Ive used FlyLady in the past and have gotten away from it. I didn't know there is an app! Im downloading it now and recommitting, thank you!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MomOfMany]

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

[@annaking9213]

I really enjoyed this on the fly lady. I’m going to use some of this.

[@shopwithjen]

Love your channel! Great video friend!

[@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!!

[@hannahgrinder4486]

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

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

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

[@ryanpegoraro2697]

I just absolutely love watching all your beautiful videos you do you are such the greatest cleaner in the world love you.

[@agoodwifeofficial]

wow this sooo needed thank you for sharing this!

[@cherivanmeter6195]

I'm so there with you! I'm due in two weeks and seriously have to stop halfway up the stairs. It's so lame!!! I told my husband this is the last baby unless I get in MUCH better shape. 😳. But, it's number 8 and I'm 46, so.... 😂😂

[@GeinaVellaSmith]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😑

[@marialorenakloter6821]

Beautiful! Thank you very much for your video!

[@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'

[@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

[@dotgoodwin4312]

Great u r helping others with this!

[@ana__ventura]

I ❤️ to find a mama with many kids like me (8 children) doing this rotines!!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

So awesome!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

I love the lady fly system I use it daily

[@melodyboo9479]

Hi, where did you get the cover for your bed?

[@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 🙂

[@terrynhemken5635]

Everything is sooo overwhelming with 7 kids. Especially, when my teenagers just throw trash on the floor and not clean up after themselves. Laundry is the largest task. Probably do 17 loads a week. My laundry room always reminds me of Mt. Everest.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

have you seen my laundry routine!?

[@lauriebertrand9319]

Great video! I signed up for fly lady. Where did you get your timer? I love how it shows how much time is left.

[@lauriebertrand9319]

Sorry just saw where you linked the timer. Ordered it! Thanks!

[@Lilystory21]

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

[@MsR3d01]

Can you please link your bible you use? I love that it has space for notes! I wasn't raised with religion, and am trying to start for me, and my family, but boy, is it overwhelming when you've never looked into it before. Love your channel!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I have a Blessed is She Bible and it was hand painted by BiblesandBrushesCo on Etsy!

Do you take anything for energy?

[@valindacrosby4716]

I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing ❤️

[@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.
