Several years ago, I started following the Fly Lady to help me learn how to get my house out of CHAOS and keep it clean. The one thing that I have maintained since then is making my bed every morning when I get up. Even if the rest of my bedroom is messy, at least my bed is straight. I don’t make it perfectly mind you, but it’s neat and ready for bed at night.
I need to develop some better cleaning habits for my house. I know from past experience that if I try to do too many new things at once, nothing will stick. So this week, I’m going to focus on one new habit – DISHES. I’ve already talked to the boys. I will start the dishwasher before I go to bed, and I will empty it in the morning. They just need to put their dishes in the dishwasher – not on the counter, not in the sink, not left on the table or in their bedrooms, IN THE DISHWASHER.
