SPRING IS IN THE AIR - LET'S GET ORGANIZED!!!
SEVEN DAYS OF SPRING CLEANING AND ORGANIZING |
|
|
Starting today and for the next 7 days, I plan to do one spring cleaning and/or organizing project each day. Here's what's on my agenda...
DAY 1 Begin outside clean up, including getting rid of any leftover winter brush, snipping dead branches from plants to get them ready for the warmer weather ahead and sweeping the walkway and driveway.
DAY 2 Put away any winter clothing for the season that is still in our closets, and bring out our spring and summer wardrobes. Iron anything that requires it.
DAY 3 Begin sorting through the outdoor toys (including sports equipment, skate boards, bicycle, etc.) from last year and determine what my son has outgrown and will no longer be using. I will create a list of a few items to supplement to provide him with items that are more age appropriate for this year.
DAY 4 Clean areas in our house that get neglected most of the year, such as the tops of our high cabinets, under the fridge and the bookcase shelves (empty, dust, and return all books again).
DAY 5 Begin to plan our family's summer vacation for the end of August. By reviewing our budget and discussing ideas with the family, we will formulate a vacation plan so we will be ready when the end of summer comes around. (It arrives before you know it!)
DAY 6 Empty the fridge and freezer and clean them out before returning our perishables back inside. Also, defrost the freezer we keep in our garage.
DAY 7 Although I belong to a homeowners association and they handle it, I suggest that you make arrangements for your summer lawn care and maintenance, including the lawn mowing service, as well as grass, tree and plant treatment services. Check the outdoor furniture that was left out over the winter to see if it needs any repair. (My furniture is made of wrought iron and might need to be repainted.)
It's also a good time of year to make an appointment to get the car
detailed.
If your schedule doesn't allow, you can take more time to get these done. (Just not too long!)

| FAVORITE PRODUCT OF THE MONTH |
|
|
I would like to share with you my favorite product for the month of May:
Over the winter months, some changes were made in my home and afterwards I found that the wood railing, my coffee table and bookcase had gotten scratched.
I went to my local hardware supply store and purchased "Scratch Fix" in dark brown since all of the items were the same color. It looks like a permanent marker but it's a stain made for wood finishes.
I just rubbed it along the scratches, wiped gently with a paper towel, and voila! The scratches disappeared. It's easy and works great!
