If you feel like your house is always out-of-control, messy, and disorganized, The FlyLady System can help you develop realistic routines and systems to get your house in order and keep it that way.

I started using the FlyLady system when I lived in a tiny basement apartment in Chicago.

Space was at a premium, and as soon as I moved in, I knew I was going to need to do some serious decluttering in order to make the space livable.

design a home management plan that works for you

Thanks to FlyLady’s system, I was able to implement small habit changes that helped me make my tiny apartment tidy, clean, and nice to live in.

Over the years I used the FlyLady system in different ways – sometimes I followed the system to a T, and other times I used only the parts of the system that worked best for what was going on in our lives at the time.

One thing has remained constant, however.

Whenever I feel like things are spiraling out-of-control with our house, getting back to basics with the FlyLady system always helps me get back on track.

Ready to get started? Below you’ll find resources that will help you get started, and I’ll share with you some of the changes I made to the FlyLady system that made it work better for our family.
