I started on the 1st and tomorrow marks two weeks of following (semi-correctly this time) the Flylady way. Seems focusing on the kitchen sink makes a difference after all. The other rooms do tend to follow the lead of the kitchen sink. Who knew?
Well, lots of people I suppose.
Random observations
The house is cleaner. Not sparkling but just feels breathable in here. I’ll take it.
I like her idea of a schedule of days but do need to adapt it to my schedule.
Mondays don’t work well for me to do the home blessing but Thursdays fit. It makes more sense in my mind for the house to be clean and ready for us to enjoy on the weekend. We’re all running around on Mondays (and other days of the week). Of course, I also like Thursdays as errands day so I’ll have to think on things.
Refreshing Rooms As I Go
Bathroom week plus a bonus room is almost over. I admittedly didn’t do so well with the bonus room but I’ll get the hang of it all eventually. The mission today was another de-clutter and since I have the small bathroom, I opted to just wipe down the white cabinet pictured below instead (long overdue).
One thing I noticed is I see things I’d like to do in each room as I work in there. And enjoy finding small ways to freshen up the spaces. Gives me a little extra motivational boost as I clean.
For the kitchen, I purchased a small pack of new kitchen cloths. (One is pictured in yesterday’s clean sink picture)
And for the end of bathroom week, I picked up a new shower curtain! 
Something I’ve been toying with doing for a while. Think it was meant to be as while running errands, I came across it on clearance and not even in the correct aisle. The same shower curtain I looked at earlier this year and decided to wait as I couldn’t quite justify it.
Nothing like a clearance price tag to help with that! Eventually, I’ll add some guest towels that go with it, probably in a solid blue or gray color like the rug that’s in there.
Note, I’m not doing anything “big” in these rooms just little things I’ve had on my mind for a while. And nothing super expensive. May even shop the house for some of it.
Do you ever do a small room refresh? How do you achieve it? What helps you stay motivated while cleaning?
