Spring Cleaning ~ The Living Room

I am continuing to follow the plan at Biblical Womanhood for spring cleaning. This week is the living room. Ugh. What a job. OK... here is the plan. We have a lot going on this week so I am dividing the job into several.
-General decluttering (several 15 min. segments of removing everything that obviously does not belong or is not wanted
-Desk area- clear off area, dust, re-organize
-Entertainment Center- clear off, dust, re-organize
-Floor, Door, Window- thorough vacuuming, dusting, cleaning
-Finish- misc other surfaces dusted, straightened, pictures, coat closet.

I will do updates on Twitter and then post next week on any progress.

Beginning Spring Cleaning Early

I have been inspired by Biblical Womanhood to do spring cleaning... now. I have decided that winter is a great time to start as I have a lot of de-cluttering to do, and because at this time of year we are stuck inside a lot... I have the time to do it. I will be twittering my spring cleaning progress.

I have started with quick generalized de-cluttering as is suggested on Biblical Womanhood. I will continue all this week.. then onto room by room cleaning. I know the result will be worth the effort.

This is a huge job as I have let things slide.... as I often do. Cleaning is an area of ongoing weakness, but I am convicted that this is an area that needs work. I am taking baby steps.

Speaking of baby steps...I will also be going back to flylady
methods. When I did my routine things went very smoothly. After the spring cleaning is done the routines should keep everything very pleasant..

Of course, I always look just like this woman when cleaning... well except for the hairband to contain messy hair, comfy sweatshirt, jeans, lack of makeup, and no high heels... and of course, I am a brunette and not thin like her... Yup... Looks just like me. On to cleaning.
