Spring Cleaning Check In

Hello everyone!!

Chrissy at Meaningful Days is hosting this Spring Cleaning until next week. She is giving away a really nice prize in a drawing for those who participate. Go check out her site and get started right away for a chance to win.

Last week I was discouraged about not having done much cleaning. Well, Thursday and Friday I did clean. I got my sons room done on Thursday. I forgot to take pictures of the before and after. It was a mess. Toys everywhere. They are still put up now and it is nice to walk into a clean room. We are planning to paint his room hopefully in the very near future. We were going to get a thing that shoots stuff on the walls for texture and then paint this week but we didn't get it done. Maybe next week.

Friday we changed our bedroom around and cleaned the floor real good. There is still lots of cleaning to do in there but it sure looks and feels a lot nicer. Also, we changed what side of the bed we sleep on and I am sleeping better. It is nice to have a change everynow and then. I did get some pictures so here they are.

The first three are before. The others are after.

I know it is still a mess but we got to clean under the bed and under some other stuff. We have decided not to sell the desk. It will go in my sons room after we paint and I am going to put school stuff on it. I don't know how this will work. He is good about leaving stuff alone but when cousins or friends come over I will have to keep an eye on it.

Then yesterday I cleaned the front porch. Here are pictures of that.

It's a little hard to see what I did because of the shadows but it does look a lot better.

So, that is what I have done. It feels sooooo good to have accomplished it.

Now, Chrissy has challenged us to clean one small area of the home daily between now and next week. Something like cleaning a drawer, organizing a cabinet etc. I will have to make a list so I can stay on track. I will post that later.
