Sneak Peek for the Week!Dear Friends,Welcome to your Sneak Peek for the Week! This email will give you the missions and overview for the week - sort of like a secret newsletter!! This email will be long in length but filled with fun and information! ******************** Sneak Peek for the Week: May 4 - 10, 2008 ******************** New Tools in the FlyShop - The FlyLady MOP!!!!! We have been searching and searching to find a better way to have those quick sweep/damp mop type mops but we were always so frustrated by the waste of those disposable cloths plus you had to use so many of those cloths, that they were just plain expensive and wasteful. We came up with a fun and greener quick mop! Go and check it out: http://www.flylady.net/pages/FlyShop_mop.asp Rubba Scrubbas are back in the Fly Shop - You all have been grabbing these up before our manufacturer can make more!!! We order more and so do you! LOL! http://www.flylady.net/pages/FlyShop_rubba_scrubba.asp ************************************************************ DO IT NOW! DON'T WAIT! THINGS GET DONE IN 2008! ************************************************************* Habit for May 2008 Moving in May! Its time for a new month and a new habit. Its time for Moving in May! This month, we are going to Bless our Hearts by doing 15 minutes of Loving Movements each day. I know you can do it and will be cheering for you along the way. Our goal is for everyone to start moving 15 minutes a day. If that is too much; do this in 5 minute increments. Add just a little bit of loving movement to your day. Make this a habit for every day. We are so excited for moving in May this year! We are taking a Virtual Walking Tour of the World. Jessica and Lee are working really hard to make this fun and exciting for everyone!! If you need a jump start on what to do for moving - go to the homepage: www.FlyLady.net and scroll down to the royal blue section titled Reinforce Your Habits - we will have a moving mission from Jonathan each day!! During our tour Leanne has been providing us with fun recipes for some of our stops along the way. In addition to being available in your inbox these will be available on the website as well. Remember that this is about moving! You don't have to walk to move, you can dance, play tag with your kids, chase fireflies, hula hoop, jump on a trampoline, whatever! Every 15 minutes of movement equals one mile on our tour of the world! Get your kids involved - have them move with you and let them post their minutes too! You can post 11 minutes, you can post 53 minutes - it does not have to be in 15 minute increments! This is about having fun! Please continue to watch your inboxes as more and more information about this tour will be coming to you every day to help remind you to keep Moving in May!! Stay tuned! *********************************************************** MISSIONS FOR THE WEEK - Zone 2 - The Kitchen ************************************************************ Zone 2: Mission #1 Monday Dear Friends: Your mission for today should you choose to accept it: Scrub down your counter tops, I don't mean to just wipe a rag across them! I mean you get some hot soapy water and you wipe down the counters from front to back and side to side. Yes, you have to move the stuff on the counters to do this. DON'T take everything off at one time and then plan to put it all back again, I promise you will get sidetracked and then you will all email me crying that it is all my fault!! LOL! You just move your toaster (or coffee pot or whatever this is an example here! :>) ) over to one side and wipe down the counter, then move over a foot or so, move aside what is there and wipe down some more and so on. We are not marathon cleaning the kitchen here, just getting all the crumbs and junk that seems to build up behind and under things. Have fun! Don't obsess! Enjoy! Kelly ********************************************** Zone 2: Mission #2 Tuesday Dear Friends: Well it is day 2 in the Kitchen, are you ready? Today we are going to de-clutter our leftover, food storage, plastic, Rubbermaid, Tupperware, Glad-Ware, etc. containers! Do you have excess lids? More bowls than lids? Stained and/or Melted? Do we even need to talk about those old margarine, ice cream and sherbet containers? It is time to let go of this clutter. I am not telling you that you can't keep any containers, I am telling you to get rid of the ones that have no lids, stained and the ones that keep getting shoved in the back because it just isn't a size that works for you. I don't know what a reasonable number of containers to own is, that is a personal choice that has to be made on how you cook, store and the size of your family. I just know that if you haven't de-cluttered these items in the past 6 months it is time to really go through them and start tossing! A quick hint that is helpful, take a large zip top plastic bag to store the lids in, this keeps them together and keeps them from spilling all over the inside of your cabinet. Spend 10 minutes doing this, don't get sidetracked and rip apart your cabinets and drawers. One thing at a time. Have fun! Kelly ****************************************************** Zone 2: Mission #3 Wednesday Dear Friends: What a fun and exciting mission that I have for you today? LOL! Let's take a close look at the gadgets and small appliances. The toaster, can opener, coffee maker, microwave etc. The small appliances that you use on a regular basis. When was the last time you cleaned out your toaster; opened up the bottom and dumped the crumbs? How dingy or dusty is your coffee maker? Do we even want to talk about the blades on the electric can openers? How about the outside of the microwave? Wipe them down and make them shine. I am not telling you to drag out every small kitchen appliance you own and to scrub them. Just wipe down the fingerprints, dust, drips, dried food particles on the most used items. Make sure you unplug these items before you clean them! Don't obsess, set your timer for 15 minutes and have fun! Kelly *********************************************************** Zone 2: Mission #4 Thursday Dear Friends: We are still tackling the kitchen this week!!! What do you think I have in store for you today? LOL! This involves old toothbrushes and elbow grease! Yes you guessed it! Grab those toothbrushes and some general purpose cleaner and scrub those faucets on your kitchen sink. It is amazing how much gunk can build up around the seals and edges. Have fun, this is a quick mission that shows instant results! Kelly *********************************************************** Zone 2: Mission #5 Friday Dear Friends: We are in the last day of the kitchen zone! Let's take a look at the cabinets! Take a few minutes to check them out, I bet you will see that they need a little sprucing up! Just wipe down the outside surfaces. You will be so surprised at what a difference shining those cabinets will make! There is no "right" way to do this. Depending on what your cabinets are made out of is what you will use to wipe the cabinets down. A wood soap, a general purpose cleaner, or just soap and water. A slightly damp cloth will work as well. Don't obsess and have fun with this! Look around and see how your kitchen shines!!!
