shining sink 365 day 14

Today I want to touch a little more about how shining your sink effects the rest of your house. Here are the things that I have noticed change in my home and in my life since I have started to shine my sink daily:
1. My counters are clean because I want all dishes done.
2. Dish rags are clean and not in a pile getting sour.
3.Table is clear and ready for anything.
4. End tables are cleared off because dishes are not safe anywhere.

These are a few things that I have noticed that have changed that are directly effected by the sink but there are lots of by products of shining my sink like I don't want the trash to pile up and make my kitchen dirty.  Supper is cooked every night because what I need is available. Then moving out of the kitchen the living room is dusted and swept because there is no dishes on the tables to prevent this from happening.   The dining room is cleaned so that it is easy to sit down and have a family dinner.  Family dinners are happening because I am seeing the table and dishes are clean to use.  Moving into the bathroom I don't want to let this room be nasty and throw off the rest of the house so I do my swish and swipe daily to make that sink shine as well. I am still working on my bed room but today I put a lot of time into picking things up and straighten up this room.  I do make sure that my bed is made daily to be that shining sink of the bed room.  Laundry is coming along and getting put away.  It is amazing how the one little thing shining your sink can make you feel and make you change the way you are thinking without even really knowing that you are changing.

Other things that I am seeing are the kids are happier and do not have to yell where is this or that they know it is put away and where put away is.  Now I am not going to say their rooms or toy rooms are clean because they are not but I joined fly lady and not them.  I know they will fall in to place with time but I have to show them how.  It just hit me out of no where this week I can not just tell them go clean your room.   They are my kids and are like me when someone would say I need to clean my house.  I did not know where to start I turned to the Internet and found flylady telling me start here and then do this.  So now this is what I do with the kids like go and put all the dirty clothes in the hamper.  Next get the trash so on and so forth.  I am going to end this hear but I hope that this let's you see a little about how it has changed my life and how it can change yours.
