    What ive learned from fly lady is, dont wait for your house to become dirty to clean it. Clean it when it's still clean and that way it never gets dirty. Probs obvious to most people but i never used to do that 🤣

      Me too!! Diane has taught me the blessing of cleaning clean things!! I used to be killing myself to clean things that were really dirty becuase I hated cleaning and left things til they were horrible!! Then being so fed up because it took hours of scrubbing and scrapping and heavy chemical cleaners that I didn't clean it for another 6 months! Crazy now I look back!
      Rah, Rah, Rah, for us!
      Who knew cleaning could be so easy when we're consistent! 😃

    The first two months following flylady I used my oh so toxic mr clean - once I was comfortable that every surface was unmuddled by any real dirt, germs or anything gross or sticky - I started using a homemade mix of plain water with vinegar with just a wee drop of dish soap. Six months on and we're living in a clean and healthy home. Thank you Diane! For showing the way.

    It's Wednesday afternoon here, and I am just getting to the weekly home blessing video! Have resisted the idea because I'M A COWARD! I really have not been a good homemaker - it's a learning process all the way for me, even though now I am a grandmother! Just want to tell you that you are such a blessingto me, and I'm sure thousands of others. I do thank the Lord Jesus for you. You give me the courage to try. Thank you!

    Thank you Diane! You are such an inspiration! I tried the FlyLady routines years ago but could never make it work. Your videos help me to realize that I can do this. I currently have a cleaning service once a week, so I don’t have to clean it myself (I have back problems) however, I’ve recovered sufficiently to start with the dusting and decluttering. I still have them come weekly to do the floors and bathrooms. I think of you every night when I’m shining my sink.

    I have 2 levels...wondering if I should bless 1 level one day and the other the next (weekly) until I get the hang of this? And see how my back holds up. When I’m efficient then maybe the whole house in an hour. 🤔

Sheets were done early on Sun and the robot "Rosie" got vacuuming done. Windows were shined in the zone yesterday and today, I'll get back to it with the mopping. Looking forward to working along with you this week as I catch up on your next videos😊🤗Happy Wednesday!!

She commented that she loved your house AND she laughed her socks off at "lift your feet" and "I'm behind you"! She loves your videos as much as I do...she's on your wavelength too 💜. As it was her last day I cancelled all jobs today and will WHB tomorrow....DH will be helping! Menu planning for the month and shopping for almost a month was completed on Saturday as we had to go to the train station (it's an hour away so we make the most of being there!) so no planning tomorrow as we are ahead!!
    I'm impressed that DH has asked which Zone we are in!! 💕 You're are having a positive effect in this house as DH can see that you are making a difference to me by cheerleading me on so is encouraging me too...thanks Diane xxx

    Such a great video Diane. You explain things and demonstrate flylady system so well., making it so easy. Because of the open windows and dust here I quickly do a skoosh skoosh of my bedrooms and a quick wipe over of the stairs in my whb . I don,t need to sweep or Hoover the bedroom first as I am consistent. I can't leave the bedrooms to just once a month here . Every country or home circumstances as you said are different but I easily do my whb in less than an hour. I think it,s a wonderful system and I can adapt it wherever I am. Lots of love Margaret

I was watching your video on decluttering and i was like I have nothing to get rid of, but boy was I wrong. I got a half of a bag full of paper stuff to get rid of. So i need to get back to decluttering. Today was a holiday for us in the US so I did my home blessing on Friday. Thanks again!

    Finished the baby steps a little bit ago. Have eased into zone cleaning having just watched a video of yours where you pulled out a calendar that had it written on and it finally clicked how that works.(many weeks just short in zone 1 and 5 ..get over thinking it's gotta be balanced......got it) But this is my first WHB. Go me! I watched you.....paused..... worked. Repeat. Until I was done! I only did the 5 minutes because 1)seemed more approachable for a first time 2)feeling under the weather.
    Have to remind myself it's like what we used to call in the hospital a 'P and C' bath. (Pits and crotch....sorry for the indelicate term). Hit the dirtiest parts/problem areas that need regular attending to. Do what makes the most impact with least effort.
    And rah rah rah it's done!

    Hi Diane, I know you from DYT so when Carol mentioned that you had some Flylady videos I had to come check them out. I have followed Flylady haphazardly for many years. It is amazing that we have so much in common. DYT, Flylady, Getting things Done, the Dune book, and when you ended with Live Long and Prosper I almost fell off my chair. I don't know if that is a Spock reference for you but it is for me. But don't worry, I am not a mini you. I don't own pom poms, you will never see me wearing white, and I've never been skinny dipping in the winter!

    Fantastic timing, just what I needed to get back into my routines. Would you consider doing a video of all the things they do in Denmark to help the environment. Denmark just seems to have it figured out and it doesn't seem like its a major effort. I think we could learn a lot. Book swap, clothes swap, bottle deposit system. Do they do anything towards reducing plastic waste? Do they have the majority of products packed in non recyclable plastic or don't actually recycle the things that can be. Its pretty awful in the UK. If we all did our bit where we can we can make a huge difference.

    • @DianeinDenmark
      @DianeinDenmark  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, Denmark is working on all fronts to reduce plastic waste/ our carbon footprint. For example, supermarkets don't sell plastic cutlery, we have been using our own shopping bags for 20 years, deposit system on cans/glass bottles/plastic bottles. And many more initiatives, yay!

Thank you for clarifying and thank you for these amazing videos!

    I’ve always struggled with the fact that Home Blessing Hour isn’t “enough” cleaning. When do you dust the bedrooms? Just once a month during zone cleaning? Do you do the floors of the other rooms only during zone cleaning too?

    • @DianeinDenmark
      @DianeinDenmark  4 роки тому +6

      Hi Kristin! If your bedrooms are high traffic, add them in to your WHB. Did you see my recent "zone 4 bedroom cleaning" video (I will give you a link) where I explain? I dust off the surfaces in our bedroom when I am changing sheets (using the old pillowcases which are heading for the wash) to keep our bedroom spick and span between zone cleans. We don't wear shoes in the house, don't eat in the bedroom, don't have pets - so our bedroom is only for sleeping = not high traffic. Hope that helps! ua-cam.com/video/2tiQTZT3Pmo/v-deo.html

    • @DianeinDenmark
      @DianeinDenmark  4 роки тому

      You decide yourself how you do it! If you want to zone clean and do WHB the same day, that's your choice. Personally, I spread my WHB over the week (as you saw in today's video). And I only do one 15 minute session of zone cleaning per week. Sometimes I add a few minutes of zone cleaning, here and there, to my day.

      Hi Sherry! Bedrooms are part of the more detailed zone cleaning. But if they are a "high traffic" area for you (you have pets who sleep there) or you have allergies, you'll probably want to dust and vacuum there once a week. Takes a few minutes when you are consistent. Hope that helps!
