The Big Green Spring Clean

Spring Clean The Big Green Spring Clean

Exactly what I need and just in time, Spring has sprung and I don’t know if it’s the pretty weather (in the 80’s here today) or the fact that I am 6 months pregnant and could possibly be experiencing nesting, but I am in the mood to clean.  This is a mood that doesn’t strike me that often, ask my hubby.  Nope I may be one organized chick, but clean freak well that’s just not in my vocabulary.  However, I’ve had a busy last couple of weeks, and i”ve gotten extremely behind on housework, so much so that I was getting sick of looking at the results.

So, this week I made a pact with myself and found some other ladies to chat with about cleaning, routines and the like over at Mom’s Talk Network, then I found some inspiration at The Organizing Junkie and finally I found Tiffany’s Big Green Spring Clean and decided to join in.

I’m going to be taking the month of April and into May if necessary to tackle some big Spring cleaning projects.  I like Tiffany want to be more organized and I have other motivations too, such as baby #3 coming in July,  and with trying to run a home business, a ministry and take care of children, you have to be as organized as possible.

So, Here is a list of my projects. I plan to keep you up to date on my progress, so let the games begin!

Spring Cleaning List

  • Sort hand me downs received for my son.
  • Clean out Baker’s Closet
  • Organize Baker’s Closet
  • Purge Items from Office Storage closet
  • Clean off top of dryer
  • Clean off top of my dresser
  • Clean out fridge
  • Organize Linen closet.
  • Set up Command Center
  • Organize Pantry
  • Clean/Organize Medicine Cabinet
  • Clean out coat closet.

As you can see I crossed one project off my list today. My plan is to do one project per day.  Wish me luck!

    Wow you got a list. Sounds like your going to get lots accomplished. I love the command center idea. I have been looking around the house trying to figure out where it would work best for us.
