February is winding up and fingers crossed spring is on the way. Has your home become kind of stale over the winter months? I know mine seems to be. Everything has been closed up to keep out the cold.
You may not be this way, but I am not very motivated to do any extra chores in the winter. So when the days get sunnier and warmer I know it is time for “Spring- cleaning”. I use this time to do the chores I don’t do every week. You know light fixtures, curtains down, windows cleaned, mattresses flipped, cabinets cleaned and closets purged.
I must admit, I never seem to toss out enough- how do we accumulate so much STUFF?? But I do make an effort. A good idea might be to try to get rid of 10 things. When switching out your closet for the next season, sort your clothes- If you didn't wear this year or it doesn't fit, get rid of it. There is no reason to hang on to these things.

If spring cleaning over whelms you, try developing a cleaning schedule. This super cute agenda is so fun and seems to say "Happy Spring". And hey, it could be used to keep up with your cleaning tasks. If you need an idea of where to begin, this is a good example of a monthly cleaning schedule. By tackling specific tasks each day, week and month, you can stay super organized.
Here's to kicking off a squeaky clean spring ~ Stay tuned for plenty of cleaning "how-to's" this month.
