When the weather warms up, you just want to open the windows and let in the fresh air! Which reminds you that you also need to clean those window screens. Which reminds you that the screens aren't the only thing that needs cleaning!

I love to tackle my spring cleaning using a checklist- and I often will assign a day to each room or task to help me keep on task to get it all done!

I love the idea of spring cleaning and starting afresh so to speak, after all it’s a time for renewal. My problem with living in the south is say you want to spring clean in March and or April is the pollen, it goes everywhere. We try to keep the windows shut but it still permeates everywhere. So you can’t start to spring clean until spring is almost over and then it’s summer…..I do what I can obviously but it does get to me a bit. The vehicles also need daily rinsing it’s ridiculous! I usually try to find the positive side of things so I will say it is a beautiful part of the country to live in, especially in the spring! I really do enjoy all the flowers! I wasn’t raised here so I didn’t grow up with this so I’m trying to make the best of it.
Hearts and Toodles, Barbi

I know what you mean… our cars are literally covered in green dust in the morning, you don’t even want to touch them to open the doors! But for us, that doesn’t start until about Mid-May…. so technically I could spring clean before pollen season. But honestly? Just not into it this year!
