Dear FlyLady,
I am confused. I have been working on my routines but I can't seem to figure out what Weekly Home Blessing is.

Dear FlyBaby Trina
You are not the only one to wonder about this. We forget that many new people join each week and don't know what Weekly Home Blessing Hour is all about.
Let me explain this in a simple way. It is where we spend 1 hour sprucing up our home. Michele my assistant calls it Redding UP. I guess this is what her mother called it when they were getting ready for company.
This is NOT DETAILED CLEANING! It is just the middles and a quick and easy clean up.
We use our timer! This is a MUST! Your timer tells you to quit and go on to the next thing! You can also get a pretty good work out too! Because you are going as fast as you can.
Now don't feel guilty if you can't do them all in one day. I spread mine out over the whole week and do one a day. Some of our members do one Weekly Home Blessing Hour on Monday (to recover from the weekend) and another one on Friday (to get ready for the weekend). Others put them in a bowl and each family member draws one out. Make it fun! Put on some fast music and FLY around your house!
I have a Post-it Note on my bathroom door that tells me what I do on each day of the week. There are 7 things. You can do them in any order you like. One of our members puts her 7 Blessings on her bathroom mirror. As she does one she moves it to the other side of the mirror. Her goal is to get them all moved to the other side by the end of the day. Your creativity is amazing.
Monday Focus On this page you will see the list of seven blessings. I have also done a podcast that helps you do it! It is like having me on your shoulder to walk you through your Weekly Home Blessing. You know how bossy I can be! LOL
We have a Video Podcast to help you stay focused. It is like having me right there with you cheering you along.
Have fun with this and you will get it done!

Yesterday
It's Time to Party
Dear Friends, Yesterday I was talking with a FlyBaby on Facebook. We have been friends for many years. I had noticed that the day before she had been suffering with a stomach bug. She private messaged me to say she was thinking about me. It was so sweet. I asked how she was feeling? She said, sucking on Popsicles and cooking up a storm.

Get Rid of Mental Clutter
Dear Friends, Is there something that is holding you down and keeping you from FLYing? This extra burden can come in physical trash or mental garbage. As I was reading an email this morning, I was blown away by the God Breeze that filled my sails.
