Does anyone really like spring cleaning? Maybe not, but if we must spring clean anyway, it may as well be easy and quick.
If it's February, then I've got to start thinking of spring cleaning.
It's possibly my least favorite of all the jobs I do as a stay-at-home mom, ranking right up there with helping my kids study for math tests, raking leaves and anything that involves getting up on a ladder.
But I do it every year. I try to get it done before spring hits, so I can enjoy Easter, getting out the spring clothes, opening the windows and seeing the crocuses come up, knowing that the biggest cleaning job of the year is all finished.
If you're a list person like me, you'll make a list of the rooms you have to clean and the jobs you have to do in each one. Then you'll have a mini-celebration when you get to cross a few things off your list.
If you haven't started already, it's not too late to get your spring cleaning done before spring break. Ask the kids to help you and your family reward will be a spring break that doesn't involve any scrubbing, washing or reorganizing.
