Dear Friends,

How was your weekend? Are you having family fun day each week? The FlyLady Missions are designed to help you take the weekend off from cleaning your home, so you can have Family Fun Day.

This week we are in two zones as we finish up April and begin May. I do not want you to stress out. Spend 15 minutes a day on your decluttering mission. Just do what you can do in that time. It will be enough. If you still have things to declutter in these Zones, you can pick back up on them during the third week of the month.

Here are you missions for the week:

Zone 5 and Zone 1 Missions: The Living Room, The Front Porch, The Entryway, and The Dining Room

Monday – Declutter & Dust the Living Room

Tuesday – Declutter the Entryway

Wednesday – Declutter Items from the Front Porch

Thursday – Declutter in the Dining Room

Friday – Declutter/Detail Clean Anywhere in Zone 1 or 5

Set your timers and then take a break when it goes off!

As we are moving into May that brings up the topic of our next Habit of the Month. It’s Moving in May! We are going to spend 15 minutes a day in doing some purposeful movement. It can be any kind of movement, but it is important that you take care of your health. Daily exercise is a big part of caring for yourself.

If you have neglected exercise, it’s okay. Just start where you are. Walk outside for 15 minutes. Play with the kids. Do an exercise video in the living room or family room. Stretch and relax. There are so many ways to incorporate movement into your day.

Tell me some of the things you do for exercise. I rotate through several types of exercise. I run, walk, lift weights, swim, and bike. I don’t do them all on the same day, but I mix it up throughout the week.

Your Home Blessing for today is to wash the sheets.

Your Zone Mission for today is to declutter and detail dust the Living Room.

My menu plan for Monday is cube steak for the guys and salad for me.

Have a blessed day!
