Spring Time Decluttering and Cleaning Ideas!

Who is ready for Spring? The snow is melting and the weather is warmer! It is my favorite time of year to declutter, clean and get more organized after a cold winter spent indoors. As excited as I am to get outside and enjoy the nicer weather, I always feel better when I make sure that the inside of my house is in order. I usually do so by tackling a few areas in my home a little bit at a time or by planning a weekend that is full of cleaning and organizing. It is on those weekends that I try and enlist my hubby and our daughters to join in. I will be honest... It is not at the top of my two daughters list to clean and organize. But, I take what help I can get, when I can get it:) You can approach your Spring cleaning however it works best for you and your family! Below are just a few ideas of places that you can begin your decluttering, cleaning and organizing projects. Simply pick a spot and begin! Happy Spring!
