Congratulations on your pregnancy 🎉 Since you divide your house into zones, does that mean you follow the Fly Lady’s cleaning method? Just curious because I’ve seen a lot of people using that method and finding it very helpful.

Thanks!☺ I'm not super familiar with the Fly Lady method, but I did get some inspiration from the book Sidetracked Home Executives ( amzn.to/49ZTOz4 ). A bit dated with using index cards for keeping track of chores, but it's adaptable for the 21st century. I wouldn't be surprised if Fly Lady has some crossover and a lot of the "looping" and "zone" systems have similarities. Mostly it's about figuring out what works best for your home after trial and error! I'm still learning our new farmhouse and how often certain spaces need cleaning versus others, where farmer Nathan tracks in the most dirt, and so on. 😂

@@cottagefarmstead Thank you for the recommendation. I had never heard of that book so I went and ordered myself a used copy off ebay 😂 I actually own the Fly Lady's book but something about her method just wasn't working for me. I'm curious to compare the two and then like you said, I'll figure out what works best for my home. As always I really enjoy your videos and find them to be motivating. God bless and have a great day.

@@jrlpz15 I have also loved the Complete Book of Home Organization (amzn.to/3wu2kZj) and the Complete Book of Clean (amzn.to/3wlMmk2) by Toni Hammersley for tips and tricks to incorporate into housekeeping. I don't follow her cleaning schedule, but really appreciated little tweaks here and there that have made maintenance easier! I found both available at our local library. Happy cleaning! :-)
