Spring Cleaning Week

Spring Cleaning in a Week

This is my goal because I am on my "spring break." So this week, I have decided to maximize my time and clean clean clean! Luckily, we live in an already pretty clean apartment. And we JUST got our carpets cleaned. But, things like the baseboards and windows, have never been cleaned [I know, that's bad!]. But it will get done this week. :) My tip, don't overwhelm yourself, clean room by room. And if you can, blast some music and make it fun!

You can try this plan by spreading the to-do list out over a 2 week span or longer, to make things a little easier. Especially those who are working, moms, or going to school, or all 3 of those. ;) You're my hero!

I hope you all have a happy week! And a happy Spring cleaning! 

 Also, meals to come are Memere's Macaroni & Cheese, Grandma Jilek's Pound Cake, & my parents Beer-can Chicken. Your mouth watering yet?! ;)
