Inside: Tired of a dirty house? Get ready for spring with the 30 day cleaning challenge. It will only take a few minutes each day, so join me in this simple challenge.
Spring may still be three weeks away but I am so ready for warm weather. I love watching the grass turn green and the plants return to take away the gloomy look of winter. I also love getting the house clean every spring. It's fun to go through and declutter and clean everything. It's nice when you can finally open the windows and let in a breeze, without the dust flying around too.
To get the house all ready for spring I thought I would do a 30 day cleaning challenge. Each day I will be cleaning a different area of the house. I would love it if you would follow along. You can print the 30 day cleaning challenge printable here. We can tackle the house together and by the end of March we will all have a spotless house. Okay, maybe not spotless, but hopefully cleaner. 🙂

I love cleaning challenges! Once we are done decluttering our home, I am hoping to give it a really deep clean :).

I have been doing some decluttering too recently! I am loving the Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up book.
