It is that time to give the house a deep cleaning and get all the dust bunnies out of their hiding places.  Maybe I will do that tomorrow.

I have my list of things to do but it looks like I am going to need a couple of more weeks before I can do some "spring" cleaning.

Yes we started our spring cleaning.  I get help from In Home Care Services and so Does my husband and my sister is our aide so we started the spring cleaning.  My husband and I did the bedroom closet by our selves which was exhausting but we did it and felt good about it to.  My aids are cleaning down the kitchen, my son already cleaned out under the kitchen cabinets so that is done. We are going to put a fresh coat of paint in all the rooms and we want to fix one of our decks and we noticed that the roof ends of the wood needs to be replaced and we are planing on getting that done when we get the money to replace the wood.

I'm going to start, as soon as I can get the leak fixed under the sink in my kitchen. Haven't been able to wash dishes. Since my husband is so busy these days, I plan to focus on one room a week. The first room will be the living room, and since there's some clutter, my husband will be helping me.

The weather here has been pretty nice during the day but I saw that the next five days our lows are going to be below freezing which isn't good because that means we have to use the heaters so our watch pipes don't freeze.  My favorite temperature is 68 degrees to about 76 degrees because I am not to cold or to hot perfect temperature.

I moved a few months ago and my house looks like one from Hoarders but for different reasons. Trying to remodel at the same time. What a mess! I don't recommend that!

Yep.  We've actually been going through our stuff and selling a lot of it.  We're getting ready to move in about a month, so we kind of had to start the Spring Cleaning early.   :)

Not yet - but in about 2 and a half weeks, I will definitely be doing so.  My place is quite cluttered as I've been distracted prepping for an upcoming annual competition.  Barely keeping up with the dishes.  :P

I have not started spring cleaning yet, I am waiting until it warms up just a little bit more and for spring to be in full bloom before I do it.

I moved about 6 months ago and I am still unpacking, organizing, and remodeling. Spring cleaning will be incorporated into reorganizing my household. Moving during holidays is one of the worst times because I was so busy. Now everything is finally coming together, you never know how much stuff you have until you have to move it into another house and set it up.

My spring cleaning only included cleaning out my closet. Found 10 pairs of shoes I bought and never wore. Guess its time to list them on ebay.

I just started in on it.  Got the front windows washed (first chance to do it since it warmed up a bit) and started on the wood work.  Ran out of Pledge but found a good home made polish that really really brightened the wood work.  It is 1/2 cup olive oli, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and 2 Tablespoons white vinegar.  Put it in a spray bottle and shake it up. One word of caution however, make sure you cover the floor below where you are spraying ( I use a paper grocery sack) and be careful not to get the spray on your painted walls. ANyway, my woodwork is shining now!

I started Saturday by organizing my laundry room, but I must admit the outdoors has been more appealing than spring cleaning since the weather has warmed up.

I havent only because the snow just melted and the grounds muddy now and the kids are just going to track it in the house.

I am always "spring" cleaning throughout the year.  I am hanging new curtains in my kitchen and bath.  Changing up things-hate the same old thing over and over again.  Love variety.
