You are doing all of us a service by sharing what works in your world and we will take what we can incorporate into ours. You can't help it if you're just that good. (Yes, I am smiling.) <br />Seriously, everything you have shared is good information and if people that are struggling implement these easy to follow steps (with the exception of getting up before the chickens) they will find order in their lives and homes. <br />I love your bathroom! Question: Is that beadboard or paneling on your shower/tub wall? How do you clean that? Also, did you and Glen do that? I've never seen a tub and surround like that. Beautiful. <br />- DeborahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-29528061873767012812010-01-21T08:34:57.015-06:002010-01-21T08:34:57.015-06:00officially pooped....

You see...you really are inspiring me. I want to move in that direction. I feel lazy when I read your post. Not because I am a lazy girl, and not because I feel the need to be just like you... but because reading what you do in the amount of time you allot and what a good steward you are, I realize that I CAN and SHOULD do better here...in my home...in my daily routine. Ya know what I'm sayin'? Your sharing about how you work with YOUR schedule is good moto for me to strive to do better, because I KNOW without a doubt I can. Keep it coming Jayme. Not feeling pressured by you to accomplish all that you do, but sure feeling excited to emulate the ways in which YOU USE YOUR TIME. Thanks so much for sharing.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503664045488972731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-33914923312059560972010-01-21T08:07:24.256-06:002010-01-21T08:07:24.256-06:00Your thrift store finds are awesome!

I have me time. I have a much cleaner home. I'm cooking more. I'm enjoying my home and its responsibilities more. This is also really helping me to get my house ready to put on the market. Bless you girl! I'm off to start cleaning the kitchen. We have a 2 hour school delay today so my little one is still asleep.

I soooo want an old cake cover like that. Never thought to look at the thrift store even though I heart the thrift store big time.<br /><br />3. I am seriously thinking about all the things you have written about weight loss and housecleaning. And just life in general. Please keep writing what you are living. It is helping people.<br /><br />4. The practical skills day is a great idea.

My treat is to lie in bed until my body is ready to wake up - usually around 7:00 or 7:30 (that's what's nice about homeschooling!). And I use to keep a schedule that was very firm, but with three kids, it is hard to do much on a regular basis.<br /><br />Now I sound like a party-pooper. Shoot. I didn't want to do that. Truthfully, I do keep a routine, it's just much more flexible than it use to be. (My girls think it's the army around here!) I love the Fly Lady's advice; she suggests wearing good shoes that tie so your can really get your groove on when working and keep routines. I encourage your readers to give it a serious effort. They'll be glad they did.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564840073358020600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-73448628036340801232010-01-20T21:42:05.328-06:002010-01-20T21:42:05.328-06:00OMG- your bathroom is amazing.

I no longer sit at the computer for 1-2 hours after hubby leaves for work in the mornings. Now I get moving and get some work done. Today I painted the linen closet in our bathroom (2 coats), put everything back, vacuumed the house, scrubbed the bathroom floor, washed two loads of laundry, made blueberry muffins, pumpkin bread and a yummy ham and corn chowder for supper! I couldn't believe it! <br /><br />2. You've helped me to think through why I do the things I do and to see if there are ways to improve.<br /><br />3. You've helped me to seriously consider why I hold on to the things I have taking up space in drawers. When I did that purge of 10 things in the kitchen that you suggested I was able to put out my stainless steel utensils in the crock because there was actually room for them there! That was SO liberating.<br /><br />Your bathroom is beautiful, Jayme! And I have a similar collection of bottles in my bathroom! How ironic!<br /><br />Thanks for all you do to encourage those who read your blog.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-49714505293585217082010-01-20T20:48:40.839-06:002010-01-20T20:48:40.839-06:00Jayme, you are livin' life to the fullest.
