I just learned from them that there are highly recommended providers of <a href="http://www.carpetcleaninginla.com/services/carpet-cleaning/" rel="nofollow">carpet cleaning services (Los Angeles</a>-based).

There is NO WAY I can follow all those steps long term though. It's impossible.

I wrote <a href="http://www.theunlikelyhousewife.com/2008/05/do-you-fly/" rel="nofollow">a post</a> about her too, and like you I found some stuff inspiring, some stuff annoying and some stuff lough-out-loud ridiculous. I don't even wear any shoes in the house. And you want me to wear lace-up shoes?? Also, I don't own any lace-up shoes, because hello, I'm a WOMAN. Unless she means tennis shoes, but somehow I didn't think that was the case. And I still won't wear them inside.Elisa @ Globetrotting in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920820564549246339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-39998838055237364452009-08-04T06:32:19.572-05:002009-08-04T06:32:19.572-05:00I am so with you.

I have a husband, 2 sons, and 1 daughter - we have toilet issues too. I swear my bathroom always smells like urine. I wish I could have a girls bathroom and a boys bathroom and the boys bathroom could be maintained by the boys and out of sight from the rest of the world! My house is dusty, cluttered, and a bit messy but my kids are loved! Plus, I hate it when I walk into a house with kids and everything is perfect. I bet those kids know a lot about TV!Christy Killoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159841014641280973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-34337188792940542302009-08-03T13:08:13.268-05:002009-08-03T13:08:13.268-05:00FlyLady and Darla Shine (Happy Housewives) need to...FlyLady and Darla Shine (Happy Housewives) need to run off to a desert island together, and live together in perfect madness.<br /><br />PS: Glad you had a blast at BlogHer!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792735154830422231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-91236497488037395542009-08-03T11:31:57.455-05:002009-08-03T11:31:57.455-05:00Yeah - fly lady is probably sitting in a pile of l...Yeah - fly lady is probably sitting in a pile of laundry, with 2 day old spaghetti sauce stuck to the microwave and a tower on dishes in her dirty sink..... cause she spends too much time thinking up idiotic solutions to try to impress Mothers.....either that or she lives alone!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448527212950487396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-40704359493845871592009-08-03T07:49:32.323-05:002009-08-03T07:49:32.323-05:00A shower every day??!?!

I still like to shine my sink, but I NEVER wear shoes inside. Nor do I wear make-up when I'm just at home or doing the school run or grocery shopping. I also despised all the emails, and gave her the flick!!

Now, there is an online thing that helped me keep my house cleaner in about 1 to 2 hours a day, before I was pregnant and decided it was too much effort to work through the nausea and well now I'm just out of the habit. it's called motivated moms, you print off a weeks worth of chores on one page, and check them off as you go. I skip around, and love to check off things like wash the dog when I don't have a dog! you don't clean your fridge, you clean the top shelf.
