Spring Cleaning

Ahhh, spring! The just perfect warm weather, the budding trees, the sprouting bulbs, the birds chirping, the thawing ground just begging to be turned...and spring cleaning. Blah! What a way to ruin a perfect picture.

Spring cleaning in my house starts at the beginning of March. That being said, it wasn't done last year because I was pregnant with Gavin and I really could have cared less. (I'm not a happy pregnant woman. ;-D)

Spring cleaning is a big job at the best of times, but this year, for me, its even bigger. Oh well, better get started.

I like to tackle little sections every week. For example, this week is the kitchen area - the pantry, the cupboards, under the oven and fridge, the dreaded junk drawer, etc. And next week it'll be another section, perhaps the mud room or the laundry room.

By tackling little sections at a time I find it more manageable and a bit more enjoyable (as enjoyable as cleaning can be). I feel a sense of accomplishment instead of feeling completely bogged down by the sheer size of the chore ahead.

It works for me - it may or may not for you. Try it and see, and let me know your tips for spring cleaning too! Just click comments at the bottom of this post.

Another thing that works for me is hiring someone to do it! ;-)
