Hello, visiting from Lessons from Ivy! This post was motivating, but I definitely won't be getting much deep cleaning done till spring, as I am expecting my 4th baby next month!
ReplyDeleteI love how organized your list is. I need to get started on mine. With an infant in the house it's a challenge but it can be done! Thanks for Sharing :)
ReplyDelete-shhh-mommy's thinking out loud
Two years ago, the children and I spring-cleaned our entire house in one week! (And I blogged about it). Last year, some online friends joined me through 31 days to clean, which took us two months. We decided we like getting it all done QUICKLY. February is a GREAT time to begin, because life is most quiet for our family during this month (not totally quiet, but less busy than any other month). So we've begun. So far we've gotten the kitchen and living rooms finished (one day each). In case you are wondering how we are able to get it all done in a short amount of time, 1) our house is very small (3 bedrooms, 1 bath, eat-in kitchen and a tiny mudroom) and 2) we have a LOT of children (9 still at home). Makes for a GREAT combination for getting it all done! :)
ReplyDeletecongrats on baby number 4 Del :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Amanda :) I am a big list person. Having young children in the house makes deep cleaning much harder that's for sure! With a 3 year old and now a dog it does take me longer then I would like but your right it can be done :) good luck with your Spring Cleaning to- do's!
ReplyDeleteWow Cheryl way to go! I too have a small home so I usually can get a room done in a day, maybe two. My little boy loves helping. I am a big believer in getting the kids to help out and making it fun :) I am heading over to your blog now to take a look at your Spring Cleaning posts :) I like seeing how others clean maybe get some tips or inspiration to add to what I am doing :)
