Spring Cleaning Tips and Tricks

In the spirit of Spring and the urge to get the house straight, I thought I'd share some fabulous Spring Cleaning Tips that I spotted on Pinterest. I had big, big plans for Spring Cleaning this week. I managed to get the living room coat closet purged, ironed some clothes, and made a donation run to the Salvation Army before the stomach virus hit our house again. Instead of finishing up a spray painting job or going through the laundry room, I've been keeping an eye on Michaela Byrd to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated. Good times.

    So sorry that you are having to deal with the stomach flu and I hope that you avoid it.

    I had great hopes for spring cleaning this week but haven't accomplished a lot just yet.

    I need to do some major spring cleaning this year! We have been so busy working on the camper that the house has kind of been ignored! I totally need to read that post about cleaning blinds...ours are so gross it's kind of embarrassing:) I hope your girl is feeling better soon!

    WE are getting ready to clean our house from top to bottom. It's a big task but so worth it in the end. I am going to have to come back and reference this page when I start cleaning.

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
