I have for sure caught the Spring Cleaning bug a little early this year. Something in me has just wanted everything to be simplified and in order. Do you ever just feel like if one thing in your home is a mess you can’t focus? HELLO OCD tendencies.
My main two focuses right now are our mess of a pantry and going through all of my Spring/Summer clothes. We have a tiny kitchen pantry that we have just let become a mess. We don’t even know what is in it half the time and it really needs to be cleaned out completely and organized.
Every year I love going through my clothes for each season and trying on all the clothes to see what needs to be taken in(hopefully) and what needs to be donated.
So far I have reorganized my office and cleaned out our second closet. We took a bunch of our wedding gifts that we aren’t quite ready to use and don’t have room for to Houston to store at Andrews parents house till we buy a house.
Another part of Spring Cleaning and Organization for me is getting taxes done. We have an appt set up next Monday since Andrew is off work to get our taxes done. I am one of those weird people who get excited about getting taxes done. It’s another thing off the list and that we do not have to stress about.
I also would love to organize my music on my computer and phone as well as help Andrew organize his junk drawer.
I definitely get the Spring cleaning bug, just not always in Spring. I’m always tossing stuff and organizing. My pantry is an ongoing challenge. I need to put myself on a pantry freeze and stop buying different kinds of pasta until I can actually eat what I have in there. It’s ridiculous. =)
I love cleaning.. no I am wrong I hate cleaning! I love the feeling after.. when you finished! the wardrobes, the smell the clean sheets! I know what I’ll be doing this weekend! Thanks for the hint 😉
Ok We are twins! I LOVE doing my taxes – Just love it!!!! I did them as soon as I could – ha – Also I LOVE cleansing!!! I’ve started going through my clothes closet every month, and taking a couple of things out that
A. Still have tags on them
B. Too big / too small
C. I just don’t LOVE – aka haven’t rotated into wardrobe
It feels so good!!!!!
You are right – simplifying is so gratifying – I really think it happens the older you get – When I was younger I collected – and now I’m noticing I’m dispersing more
I kinda had the spring cleaning bug.. I had family coming out to visit.. So a lot of old decorations came don, a lot of cleaning happened.. I need to go through the bedroom now. But that can be saved for later.
Oh yes, I get the Spring Cleaning bug ALL OF THE TIME. Maybe it’s because I am a Virgo or something. Can’t wait to ditch the heavy winter sweaters and bring out my bright and fun outfits!
I definitely get the spring cleaning bug and I also get it at the beginning of each season. I love purging my closet of items that I didn’t wear and replacing it with new. I’m so ready to pack up all of my bulky winter items and replace it with shorts and summer dresses!
I hear you on the taxes thing, though I’m kind of dreading it. I need to just GET IT DONE now, though, before they get super busy closer to April!
I totally do. I can turn a blind eye to disorganization for just so long and then I ahve to rip it apart and toss and organize.
You know, I haven’t gotten the spring cleaning bug yet, and usually don’t. The bug hits whenever my room gets dirty enough! 🙂

I definitely need to go through my spring/summer clothes too! It’s such a good feeling to start fresh and donate the things you know you never wear. 🙂

I don’t have that bug. But I need it, as I sit on my couch and look at scattered toddler puzzle pieces. Sigh.
I always get the urge to clean everything out once a season lol. I’ve just recently cleared out my beauty collection and my closet. It felt amazing!

Great post!
I totally get the spring cleaning bug. This year I’m dying to clean out our basement. It’s a huge mess and it’s calling my name!
