Living Room, Spring Clean

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

This is probably one of the easier rooms to spring clean. So I think this is where I will begin!

  • Wash the inside of the windows
  • Wash the curtains
  • Vacuum/dust window sills
  • Wipe down woodwork around windows
  • Wipe down doors (there are 2)
  • Straighten & dust bookshelves
  • Dust and straighten mantle
  • Thoroughly vacuum
  • Maybe do a little furniture rearranging
  • Vacuum furniture
  • Polish wood furniture
  • Put more of John’s board books away
  • Dust all picture frames
  • Dust/Vacuum radiators
  • Wash our “cuddle up” blankets

Spring Cleaning, Revisited, Again

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

In years past I have utterly failed to finish spring cleaning.  I’m talking about one of those deep down cleaning to the very core of the house.  Sure the house gets cleaned…but we’ve lived here almost 6 years and it is time for a good honest cleaning.  And I want to finish it during Lent so that when Easter arrives it feels like the house has had a resurrection too!

So I think I’ll make a list of each room, list the cleaning projects and get busy since I’ve already allowed a week of Lent to lapse.

Theme of the Week: Dr. Seuss

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

It is Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week.  So we’re keeping it easy and doing some Seuss stuff.  We’re reading Seuss books, making green eggs and ham and maybe watching Horton Hears a Who.
