It's Spring Cleaning Time!


I am a huge fan of SimpleMom.net and have been following Tsh's helpful and inspirational stories since I became a new mom. I was so happy to see that she is running Project: Simplify 2012. The idea is to break down Spring cleaning into easy and manageable chunks for each week during the month of March.

I recently cleaned out my dresser and closet (using a similar process to this) and found the whole experience really exhausting. I took me nearly two full days and I ended up donating about 8 huge shopping bags full of stuff to charity. However, I am really grateful that I did it because now I can actually see and access all my clothes and even have room to buy more!

Anyway, I digress. I don't want to lose the organzing momentum that I have so I think this will be a great home project for March. I'm actually very excited to do this so crossing fingers that I follow-through!

Here's a quick breakdown of the to-do list:
  • Week of March 5: Kids’ stuff—toys, clothes, and the like (really need to do this!)
  • Week of March 12: Kitchen and/or pantry (maybe just the kiddy dishes and sippy cup cabinet)
  • Week of March 19: Closets, countertops, and drawers (can you say junk drawer?)
  • Week of March 26: Choose your own adventure—you pick your most-needed hot spot (I'm thinking my office/desk space or maybe my craft suppies)
