I am 30 years old and am the mother of three wonderful children. Some of my favorite activities are engaging in one on one time with my kids, cooking, working outside, lounging in the sunshine, and making lists. I also thrive on date nights, vacations, and new experiences with my husband and children. I am an RN and work a few hours each week (in the evenings) for a home health company. I LOVE being a mom.

Basic Overview:  Sink Reflections is about getting your home and life in order. This book is a great resource in getting rid of clutter, changing your attitude about cleaning (more appropriately called home blessing), taking care of yourself, using morning and evening routines to bring peace and order to your life, zone cleaning (oh, so wonderful) and much, much more.

The Parts I Liked Best:

 

(1)  Sink Reflections is SO DO-ABLE and empowering!

 

(2)  I love the concepts of Morning and Evening Routines, the Basic Weekly Plan, and the Zone Cleaning. 

 

(3)  I also like the chapters which addressed taking care of yourself, getting rid of clutter (so invigorating), and the concept that housework done incorrectly still blesses my family (even if I didn’t have time to finish the job, at least I started and got some small corner of my house tidy).


 

How this Book Made an Impact in My Life:

 

As the mother of three small children, I used to waste time and energy moping that despite my desire to maintain a clean and orderly home, I would never have four hours to clean the entire house.  Using the 15-minute-a-day approach has brought amazing results!  My home is never immaculate, but now it is always pretty clean.  Who new 15 minutes a day could make such a big difference?  I no longer feel like a martyr while cleaning but instead enjoy my time “home blessing.” The FlyLady has taught me how to use Morning and Evening Routines, a Basic Weekly Plan, and Zone Cleaning to bring peace and order to my home and life.

 

I now take responsibility for my home and have achieved an amazing sense of order… which frees up the majority of my time to nurture and enjoy my family.
