Holiday Cruising Mission #16 Monday Clean and Fling
Your Holiday Mission for today is to Clean and Fling!!! Monday's are Weekly Home Blessing Hour days at FlyLady and your mission is to do a 27 fling boogie as you bless your house.
We are cruising through the Holidays together and every time you can get rid of some clutter is going to help you FLY! Grab one of those plastic bags that you get at the grocery store and loop it along your wrist or loop it through your belt loop on your pants, as you are going through the house just toss in the bag whatever needs to be tossed. This can be junk mail, odds and ends that have been laying around and whatever you see that is just plain clutter and needs to be gotten rid of.
Do not spend hours doing this, just have the bag handy while you are blessing your home!!
Have fun and remember we are FLYing!

Holiday Cruising Mission #17 Tuesday Plan and Play
Today is Plan and Play Day! Last week I had you work on your meal plans and menus for the holidays. This means for Thanksgiving and whatever other holidays you celebrate. For today you are to add to those plans. Do you need specific tablecloths, napkins, center pieces etc.? Not the whole house accessories, just for the meals.
Write them down in your holiday planner along with your meal plans and menus. Schedule yourself time to take care of laundering the linens, polishing silver, and getting the serving dishes ready. When these things are taken care of before the eve of the holiday itself, it gives us time not to have to stress about getting "it" all done!
Have fun and remember we are FLYing!

Holiday Cruising Mission #18 Wednesday Anti-Procrastination
Today is Anti-Procrastination Day! We are diving into the Toy Box today! Today is the day for those of you with children, to take 15 minutes to fling through the toy box to get rid of broken toys, toys with missing pieces, puzzles with missing pieces and games with missing pieces. It is time to let them go! Fling, Fling and Fling some more. By the way, you can add this into your 27 fling boogie!
If you do not have children's toys to go through, you are to toss, toss and toss some more of those catalogs and magazines that have piled up. Once again, these items count for a 27 fling boogie!
Happy Flinging!

Sneak Peek for This Week
We are in our Kitchen
November Zone 2 : Your Kitchen
Zone 2: Mission #1 Monday
Dear Friends,
Today your mission is to clean out under your sink. All the almost empty containers, the old nasty sponges,the grocery bags, the cleaners that you don't use,the empty jars, the clutter that just seems to pile up under the sink! While you are under there make a list of the tings you are low or out of, and add that item to your list for errand day.
Zone 2: Mission #2 Tuesday
Dear Friends,
Your Mission for today is to fling your way through at least one shelf of your pantry. We all seem to have items in our pantry that we will not use, that we keep shoving to the back because one day we might use them. I know I need to check mine for items I have bought when they are on sale for Thanksgiving. This would be a good time to add the Food items to the list for errand day!
Zone 2: Mission #3 Wednesday
Dear Friends,
The shining
of your kitchen is your kitchen sink. Your mission for today is to shine your sink. This is the first assignment that you are ever given. Even I forget what a powerful message that gleaming sink does for me in the morning. I love walking into my kitchen and having that great big smile take over my face.
Zone 2: Mission #4 Thursday
Dear Friends,
When our counter tops get cluttered with stuff the
of our home looks bad and feels bad.Your mission today is to set your timer for 15 minutes and start putting the clutter away that has invaded these surfaces. You know those small appliances that you have only used once this month. It time to find them a new place to live. When the counters are cleared your
is shining again.
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 and 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!
