Welcome to Flylady baby steps day 15 for getting your home and life in order.
Can you believe that we’re starting our 3rd week of the Flylady baby steps?
How are you doing with the habit-building?
What has been the easiest and the most challenging baby step for you so far?

Before Bed Routine
Make Your Bed
Flylady says that if you make your bed right when your feet hit the floor, then you’re less likely to forget this step.
I don’t always make my bed right when I wake up. My little boy sometimes likes to crawl into our bed very early in the morning. So sometimes, I need to sneak away to get ready while my youngest sleeps in.
Flylady mentions in her blog that:
“Every room has its own shiny sink. In the bedroom, it is your bed.” ~ FlyLady
My Favorite Baby Step
Thankfully this will be the easiest step for me to build. It usually takes less than 2 minutes to make the bed, and the room instantly looks so much better.
Try timing yourself next time you make your bed, and next time remind yourself how quickly you can do it.
Simplifying the Baby Step
One way that I simplified making the bed step is to have fewer pillows. I used to have about seven decorated pillows. At one point, I got exhausted from the nonstop moving the pillows to the floor then picking them up early in the morning.
So I donated those decorated pillows, and now this baby step is one of the quickest baby steps.
