Spring Cleaning Detailed Checklist!


Spring is FINALLY here and if you're anything like me, you are anxious to throw open all of the windows, light a little Nag Champa incense (actually...this may just be me) and begin your spring clean!  This year I decided to be a little more organized with my clean and developed a checklist to keep myself on track. Now don't get too overwhelmed.  Most of these tasks are small, do not take long to complete, but doing them will make a huge difference in the appearance of your home.  Focus on tackling one room per day, if you are up to it move to the next room, if not, take a break and start up again the next day.  You should be able to get through this list within a week or two and your house will thank you for it! Click below for your free printable!
