I don’t think our kids know what an apron is.  Here is the explanation: The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath, because she only had a few and was always dressed to shoes, hair, and at least some lipstick.  It was easier to wash aprons than dresses and they used less […]

At the bottom of this chart you will see the five zones listed.  Declutter first, Detail Clean next.  Don’t do both in one Zone if you are not READY for it!  In time you will! I got an epiphany, a realization, an aha moment, a God Breeze as The Flylady calls it!  It doesn’t matter what […]
