How about you? Are you Spring cleaning? If so, do you have a method to your madness? Feel free to leave a comment and let me know your strategy.
Ha! LOVE your attention to detail! Just wish I could get it done too! We are moving this week so the spring clean will wait, but moving means cleaning! I am so into frugal living...I am going to be back and read some more!

We will be starting our spring cleaning next month when our departments have "spring break" and we have a tiny bit more free time. We will make an extensive list and tackle one thing at a time until it is done. Not a real technique, exactly, but it sure feels nice to cross things off the list.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to cross things off a list. I just wished I crossed them off faster then I added to them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation.... do you get the whole family to help out, or is it more sane if you just do it yourself?
ReplyDeleteI do most of it myself. My toddler and preschooler love to "help"! I am sure you can imagine how productive that it!
ReplyDeleteI'm spring cleaning too. Although this weekend was exhausting, it is a great feeling that the house was truly clean!
ReplyDeleteI have been in deep spring cleaning mode the past 2 weeks!
ReplyDeleteI have:
*Cleaned and defrosted the freezer
*Reorganized my pantry shelves
*washed and cleaned both vehicles out
*washed windows
*raked left over leaves from the yard
*Rearranged my living room so I could vacuum under everything.
*Cleaned out and organized the linen closet
*Wiped down all my cabinets and woodwork
This weeks agenda is:
*clean my hall "junk" closet
*wash down walls
*And finally buy my new paint for the master bathroom. It won't get painted this week, but at least it is a start.
Sounds like you are doing a good job. I love when everything is clean!
Wendylea~You were very busy! Great job.
