How's the flight?

So how's it going with FlyLady?  If you read my blog last week, you saw that I wanted to get back to using FlyLady's tips and scheduled cleaning program so that I can keep my home more organized.  A number of you responded with a comment on here, on Facebook, or in person that you would love to do FlyLady also.  How's your flight? 

Cleaning has been great for me with FlyLady.  This week, we were doing our zone cleaning in the master bedroom, which is an area that I told you I really struggle with.  Normally when I clean, I usually leave my bedroom last because it's a lower priority, so I was so pleased to see us in this zone. 

My room looks great!  I love it.  I've gotten rid of all my piles--there's not a single one in the room!  There's not even a paper work pile, which is pretty great, considering our home office is in the master bedroom.   

Here's what the week looked like: 

Monday:  Remove anything that belongs somewhere else.  You mean the giant 4 foot level doesn't belong in my master bedroom? 
Tuesday:  Get rid of all clothing piles.  That was great, because I still hadn't unpacked from our weekend out of town!
Wednesday:  Clean off end tables and put something nice to look at on your endtable.  This was the highlight for me.  I put a sweet picture of 2 week old Isabelle on my end table to go along with a candle, antique lamp and my ever-present stack of 2 books, my bible, and journal.  The pleasing appearance of my end table is motivation enough to keep this area clean every day.  I now de-clutter it regularly.
Thursday:  Clean off dresser surfaces!   
Friday:  Strip bed and flip mattress.  Sorry, the mattress flipping isn't going to happen today!  I can't do it by myself, and I'd rather have a nice neat bedroom for my husband to come home to, instead of making him flip the mattress with me when he gets home from work.

All in all, it was a great week, and I love love LOVE my bedroom.  Don't you love your house when it's clean?
