Sneak Peek for the Week!Sneak Peek for the Week - January 4 - 10, 2009Our new habit for January is Shine Your Sink http://budurl.com/ShinySink101 ************ Do you have a 2009 FlyLady Calendar to start the New Year? DON'T PROCRASTINATE GET YOUR 2009 FLYLADY CALENDAR ORDERED TODAY ****************************** This week we are in Zone 2 - The Kitchen: Zone 2: Mission #1 Monday Dear Friends: We are in the Kitchen this week and we are going to work our way through from top to bottom!! Your mission for today is to look UP! Now I am only 5 Ft 4 and I have a tendency to only see what is at my eye level. Today we are going to look up, set your timer for 10 minutes and take a broom or a Swiffer and get those dusties and cobwebs that are hanging on the upper walls that are taller than you, the corners of the ceilings and the ceiling. If you are feeling adventurous ask someone in the house to help you and take a damp rag to the light fixture and/or ceiling fan. Please be careful!! Check out the top of your refrigerator as well. I am always so floored at how much dust accumulates on top of the fridge!! Don't get obsessed and take your light fixture apart or repaint the ceiling! Babysteps!!!! Love, Kelly ************************************* Zone 2: Mission # 2 Tuesday Dear Friends: Back to the kitchen we go! Your mission for today is to wipe down the doors of your cabinets. Use a damp rag and wipe down the fronts and the edges of your cabinets. This is really a simple thing to do but we have a tendency to ignore the cabinets because there is always so much more going on in the kitchen. Finger prints and grease attach themselves to the cabinets and make them a little sticky. A good wipe down will make such a difference. Remember we are taking babysteps!!! Small little missions that add up to a shiny kitchen. Love, Kelly *************************************** Zone 2: Mission #3 Wednesday Dear Friends: It is Anti-Procrastination day we are diving into the refrigerator! Grab your trash can and take it over to the refrigerator and throw open the door. First toss out any leftovers that have gotten pushed to the back and have now started to turn into a science project. Second, check the fruit/vegetable drawers and toss what no longer is appealing to eat. Third, check the meat and cheese drawer, check the expiration dates on your items in there and toss what needs to go. Fourth, check out the doors of the fridge, toss the empty condiment jars and bottles that always seem to magically go back into the fridge when empty, LOL, but when full get left on the counter. Recycle what you can! Last, grab a damp rag and wipe down the shelves. Do not take every single thing out of your refrigerator and then take the shelves out to clean them. Just wipe them down. How many times have we decided to tear the fridge apart and three hours later we would rather move out than ever do it again. Don't let yourself get sidetracked!! Have fun and enjoy your sparkling refrigerator! Love, Kelly ********************************************* Zone 2: Mission #4 Thursday Dear Friends: It has come to the time to go after those counter tops!! Your mission for today is to scrub those counter tops. Not just the average wipe down that we do after dinner. Now it is very easy to make this task overwhelming but if you take this slow and easy you can do this! DO NOT TAKE EVERYTHING OFF OF THE COUNTERS AT ONE TIME!!!! I promise you will get sidetracked and then you will all email me crying that it is all my fault!! LOL! You just move your toaster (or coffee pot or whatever this is an example here! :>) ) over to one side and wipe down the counter, then move over a foot or so, move aside what is there and wipe down some more and so on. We are not marathon cleaning the kitchen here, just getting all the crumbs and junk that seems to build up behind and under things. Have fun! Don't obsess! Enjoy! Love, Kelly **************************************** Zone 2: Mission # 5 Friday Dear Friends: Today is our last day in the Kitchen!! For today I want you to grab your broom and your mop. Sweep your kitchen floor really well and then mop. There are several ways to mop a kitchen floor and no real wrong way. Hot soapy water nd wipe. There is no "perfect" mop and no "perfect" way to do it. Just Do It! Don't obsess and get caught up in perfection! It won't matter if you don't mop the way your Mother did as long as you do it. Remember House work done incorrectly still blesses your family! Kelly ********************************** Do you Twitter? FlyLady and Kelly Twitter! We are thrilled to be a part of theTwitter trend.
