It's Time for Spring Cleaning

Can you believe it? It's that time of year again!

Time to bust out the bucket and rags and get to Spring Cleaning!









Are you a faithful spring cleaner or do you just do a little all year?

I usually do a big spring and fall cleaning as well as my everyday cleaning routine.

The thought of deep cleaning the WHOLE house is a little daunting so I usually break it up room by room. Once I get the first room completed I am usually in the cleaning mood. There is nothing better than a clean house, but I sure can think of better things than doing the actual cleaning.

I'll be sticking with the kitchen theme, but we'll be going in a little different direction. I will be sharing my spring cleaning list for the kitchen as well as some how-to's, tips, and ideas.

I am excited to talk about something a little different. But I am no professional cleaner so bear with me as I spring clean my kitchen and blog all about it. I hope it inspires you to get in there and clean everything out...


Do you normally do a big spring cleaning?

For some reason I am going nuts this spring! Maybe it's being cooped up all winter with a little one, but I am on a decluttering warpath. What helps the most is the ability to detach myself emotionally from all the stuff in my house. I look forward to your series!

I'm with above...major decluttering going on and cleaning. I have been working this week with just getting rid of obvious clutter (not cabinets or drawers yet!), taking down curtains that are dusty and general cleaning. Once I get that under control I can go back and do major cleaning and hopefully it won't take as long. Does that even make sense?! I look forward to this as well. Today is the office aka catch all room!! Bye bye papers!!

I am also however making up some of your orange chicken for the freezer since chicken is on sale. That is one of our favorites!! One of many I should say.

Ugh I hate cleaning! I am hoping your tips can help me out majorly!

I am excited for this series... I must admit that I dread cleaning and so I look forward to any tips you may have. :) Who knows, I may be inspired to actually SPRING clean and not just "emergency" clean because company's coming. :)

@ Bitterroot Mama: You are so right. If everything remains sentimental we will quickly have a cluttered house. I need to get rid of more stuff and think hard before I bring in more!

@ Kimi: I am so glad you all like the orange teriyaki..it is my fave marinade for sure :)

Katie said...

@ Desi: If someone LOVES to clean I would worry about them!

@ Misty: Emergency clean...I have fallen in that category more times than I care to mention!!

I have a couple of spring cleaning projects on my to-do list. The major one is our windows. They are disgusting and that is my job this week.

@ Tiffanee: Don't we all...I can't wait to get all of mine done...such a good feeling!

@FBS: Windows...I feel you...my dog makes my glass doors all nasty.
