11 weeks 'til summer cleaning and organizing challenge


like Sister, the thought of "spring cleaning" makes me want to whine, curl up in a ball, and go back to bed.

honestly, i'm not a messy person, but that phrase has a connotation that just screams lots of "work, dirt, crud, dust, and back pain."  now i don't know about you, but those are not things that i necessarily like to deal with.  i think the thought of doing an ultra thorough, deep clean in the spring seems overwhelming and just all together not that fun.

even so, i know i need to do it and will feel a lot better when everything is clean, tidy, and organized.

i am challenging myself (and you) to take the next 11 weeks before summer officially begins and do just one "spring cleaning" task per week.  this seems doable since  i'm not doing everything all in one day or something crazy like that.  i will share with you some of the tips and tricks i do along the way to create organized spaces and would love to hear what is working for you, too!

Ok. I cleaned out my junk drawer today in your honor but its way too embarrassing for pictures. I did find almost $8 in change, filled a zip lock bag with batteries and found an earring that was missing - along with a lot of other stuff. I'm going to do my best to keep up with you and your cleaning! :)
