Spring Cleaning

This spring cleaning thing is not something I have ever much aspired to before. And this year I'm not just anxious to get it done because it's spring. It's just long overdue. Some of the clutter is the result of never having fully moved in and gotten things where we want them. Some clutter has to do with the smallness of our space and the fact that we have not yet simplified and found enough places for certain things to go. AND of course we have the natural clutter that comes from having a very rambunctious toddler in the house. Some things are not worth straightening up until she has gone to sleep.


I am starting a series on Spring cleaning. Yesterday I focused on our Master Bedroom. I actually did not get it completed though I did get rather far. I would love to finish that today and get to work on the kitchen, but my presence has been requested to help another family member get ready for their big move tomorrow. I will clean that kitchen though. It's filthy...at least I'll get the dishes taken care of.


The next several posts will hopefully be of before and after photos or my progress. That way, if you don't see any for awhile, you can hold me accountable for what I'm supposed to be doing...aka cleaning.


Off to tackle the dishes if nothing esle.

Sounds like a plan! I need to Spring Clean to but just dread getting started. I feel like my "house to-do" list is a mile long. I guess I need to start somewhere.
Check out Monica at www.homespunheart.blogspot.com to enter a drawing as a reward for spring cleaning. Fun stuff!

Definitely will check out the drawing thing! Had no clue! Yeah, my to do list is unbelievable as well. Wait till you see my before pics! I'm sort of embarrassed to show them, but it'll be a fun series.
