Caught the "Spring Cleaning" Bug

Hopefully that will be the only bug this season and all seasons that follow....

I am not sure why it has taken me so long to get into the spring cleaning mode but I am so thankful that I am now. I have to say I have not felt such a strong inclination since I was about 36 weeks pregnant (when I got busy 'nesting' for the next 4 weeks)!

I have felt pretty good with all that I have accomplished the last few days. Cade my little busy friend has been so good about letting me have time to clean and has busied himself playing by himself.

Saturday after doing all those lovely daily chores I missed doing with the power out, I FINALLY cleaned out my closet, now don't get me wrong I keep it tidy, I mean I cleaned, cleaned it out, cleared out all the clothes I no longer fit in or wear. It looks and feels so much better. I just need to have Cory do this same, but not just with his clothes and shoes but his BOOKS that are in a bookcase in the closet also....he is a book hoarder!

Yesterday, Monday, I cleaned out the linen closet and deep cleaned the bathroom including the cupboards and drawers. Cory recruited the help of James and Andrew and got our TV mount on the wall and that has cleared up alot of space surprisingly. I love, love, love it!

Today I have completely revamped our filing system, clearing out previous years etc. I had partially done this months ago but ran out of room to keep anything more in the filing cabinet. I went hunting around today pricing and comparing trying to figure out what I wanted to do and I am so glad to have the filing all done!

Tonight it is Cade's closet. I have a bunch of clothes and toys that Cade has grown out of so I want to get this boxed up and in the garage. I also want to change up his bookcase, this is a forever process with me I must do this every month at least. I just think books look so messy sometimes, picky perfectionist in that regard I know!

Tomorrow it will be on to the kitchen cupboards, oh tupperware beware!! I am thinking I might totally rearrange my counter space etc too, move things out that I don't often use or that are too bulky and taking up too much counter space. I really, really want my carpets shampooed as well, but I have left that one to the man to chase for me!!

Thursday the plan is to finish up some scrapbooking, do Cade's shadow box for his room (that I have not even attempted..yikes!). Hopefully nothing more will creep into my view for another cleaning!!

Ahhh... it just feels sooo nice! Like I said, wish I got this excited about cleaning every other week!!
