Spring Cleaning




Usually every April I take a week off and stay home so I can
purge our family of all the crap we have collected throughout the year. Now
that isn’t to say I don’t do this all year as well but there is something about
being able to spend days not hours cleaning stuff.

I am strange I know but I LOVE the sense of accomplishment I
feel when I finishing cleaning and organizing something.

Thus far this week I have:
 
  • Cleaned our office (books and papers Purged)
  • Transformed the back deck from a winter mess to a spring haven (if you can tell me how to get rid of pollen I am all ears)
  • Done 6 loads of laundry
  • Cleaned my clothes closet and thinned out my shoe rack
  • Organized all the kids closets and clothes
  • Cleaned the garage
I still have stuff left to do but most of that is the fun
stuff like going shopping for the kids new spring/summer clothes, seeing
friends for lunch, watching the royal wedding and relaxing a bit.
 
After a week of this I may be ready to go back to work!

I didn't get to do this over my spring break this year... I was in other parts of the country instead! I am thinking I may get to some of it this weekend! Good work!

Hi Steph! How's spring cleaning so far? It's sunny here in Iowa, for the first time in weeks. Thank God for that. How are you? Thanks for following, I am doing the same here now.
