Spring Cleaning

I have recently been inspired to do some cleaning/organizing throughout the month of April.  I saw this post on moneysavingmom.com and decided that I would give it a try.  I originally was going to go by their list, but then decided to do my own.  Seth and Stacey came this past weekend for pre-marital counseling, so my cleaning schedule wasn't going to fit theirs from the start.  My goal is to clean or organize one thing a day throughout the month of April.  By one thing, I am talking about something extra that I wouldn't normally do on a day-to-day basis.  (for example: cleaning the fridge)  Some days I may take on greater tasks, like my oven..hahahaha, while other busy days it might be to clean just one ceiling fan!  For me, doing all of the extra cleaning is hard to do on top of everything else.  Hopefully, this will help me.

 

Here is what I have done each day so far, starting which April 1st.  I have some pictures and hopefully, I will have some before and after pictures later this month.

 

April 1- cleaned the boys' room and decluttered and cleaned 1/4 of our counter tops.

 

I realize that 1/3 of the picture is floor.  Yes, that is significant.  hahaha!

 

A clean counter top.  Before, this area was super cluttered with random stuff.

 April 2nd-  Cleaned inside the fridge.

 

April 3rd- Cleaned Mercy's room and Ryan cleaned the bathroom.  Cleaned another 1/4 of our counter tops.  Also, I found a bread box at TJ Max to help with the declutterization of our bread and to help it look better on that side of our kitchen. 



 

 

April 4th- dusted the living room

 

April 5th- wiped down the back glass

 

April 6th- cleaned out the bathtub

 

There you have it!  The cleaning and organizing has begun!  It is the 7th and I have not cleaned anything today yet.  Guess I better go find something to clean or organize...wait....I did organize today.  I put away all of the clothes from the consignment sale.
