I've got the cleaning bug



Lately I've been watching a lot of cleaning & organizing You tube videos. They are so inspiring. So I've been cleaning more. Doing things that I haven't done in a while like cleaning behind my toaster over & microwave etc... I want to get on more of a routine with cleaning & which days I do what. I've always loved cleaning, but these inspiring girls make me want to do as much cleaning as I can each day. Some of them do "power hours" where they set the timer for an hour & try to go fast & get as much done as they can. I've done 20 minutes & 30 minutes before & had Tara do 20 minutes. I think it's a great idea for kids. We've been so busy on weekends & her homework this year takes forever. She has a lot of stuff out right now that she needs to put away. She dumped out all of her hair elastics & hair ties. Also went Trick or treating on Saturday & dumped her candy & other stuff that she got on the floor. She was making a Happy Birthday sign for Anthony on Friday night & the supplies that she used are still on the bench in the kitchen & also she has change all over. Finding time for her to clean has been hard. I'm trying to be strong & let her clean her own things. She is old enough now, but it's hard for me because I am home all day with the mess. I want to clean it so bad, but I must be strong. I was thinking of maybe sharing some of my fave You tubers that clean & organize or share my fave cleaning supplies sometime.

Making Lemonade's Spring Clean Sweep

I'm participating in the Spring clean sweep over @

It starts on Monday, February 28th. This is the info from her site.

Making Lemonade's
Spring Clean Sweep
* ideas and advice * weekly challenges * weekly giveaways *guest bloggers * clean{er} homes

We're striving for participation, not perfection!

Here's how it works, if you choose to participate: I'll post a cleaning task with tips on Monday. You have all week to work on it, and then on Friday I'll post my progress and ask for yours! That way, if you didn't get it done by Friday you'll have all weekend to work on it, post it on your own blog, and link up to mine. I'll highlight a few homes on Monday and randomly pull a winner for that week's giveaway before posting the next task. As always, you don't need a blog to play along. Comments will count as entries as well.

By the end of March our homes will be sparkling clean, organized, and ready for spring! Or at least a little cleaner, a little more organized, and certainly we'll still all be ready for spring.


The Schedule
Week One (Feb. 28): Closets
Week Two (March 7): Cabinets and Drawers
Week Three (March 15): Deep Cleaning
Week Four (March 21): Freshen up!
