I have the cleaning urge too Kristina - can't wait for tomorrow when I have the day off work but everyone else in the house has work or school - gonna do some cleaning!! I've been working on decluttering all year and slowly but surely it's paying off.

I have the next two days off from work and plan to get some cleaning/de-cluttering done. I took my Christmas tree to the park today and will wait till tomorrow when the light is better to vacuum the living room carpet. Really didn't have a problem with needles. I have some old baskets I need to get rid of, too, I like baskets, but really don't need these. Maybe I should put them up for barter? I have some books as well. Hmm, need to think about it.

I always focus on cleaning and organizing at the beginning of the year. I think it really helps me transition from the bustle of holiday prep, to having a more relaxed and focused life in the new year. Everything seems to go better with a little new year's cleaning and organization. Also, by doing lots of "spring cleaning" during the winter months, I don't feel so guilty when the nice spring weather makes me want to go outside and play, instead of deep-cleaning the house.

Go Kristina. That's great. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that in winter we are inside more and you see everything that needs cleaning. Summer is so busy and gets away from us. It does me anyways. It's a great time to de-clutter. I've been getting little projects done which is great. It is also a great way to stay warm in the cold. We've had some wicked temps and cleaning gets the blood moving. Course I like to bake too to add extra warmth.

I cleaned out the refrigerator not too long ago. It was WAAAAY overdue. I cleaned a bunch of other stuff in the kitchen and my hands ached and went numb at night. But the fridge sure looks nice! I can see everything that I don't have in it.

Anyone want to do my kitchen floor? I've been a bit neglectful. You ladies are amazing.

I clean very slowly, I have the entrance lined with bags to the goodwill and bags to the garbage and I can fill the burn barrel basket to the brim in two hours. Don't forget the random items set aside for RAOK List. As for my fridge, I have a ton of 21 and over products that one of my friends is gladly accepting as a donation, that will clear out tons of space!

Cleaning and purging. This house is getting a real cleaning because we just bought a new couch. We started a week ago and when they brought it in everything was clean around it! I've got material to make a new wall-hanging and pillow to match. Got rid of unnecessary stuff. Now to get the rest of the house. Unfortunately I've got a a bad cold so dusting makes it worse. Guess I'll just have to sit down and read MJF magazine for awhile. (lol)

Trying to get cleaning and organizing a priority!! Have downsized from a rural house to a city apt which my daughter and I share. I am making my bedroom completely my space with all prairie, farm, and cowboy, things I love!!! Today, behind the door, I hung an old cup rack that was a beloved Aunt's at one time. I have hung a couple felt cowboy hats and a prairie nitegown, that I purchased awhile back at an antique store, that I just love. It looks really cute and soooo me!!! Giving me the incentive I needed to get going!! Have a great day everyone!!
Blessings,
Linda
