ReplyDeleteI'll just keep my dust for now along with some of those other spring cleaning needs. You are brave to post such big goals - and to only give yourself a month to accomplish them!!!
I guess we'll read your next blog post AFTER Easter!!! :) Happy Home Making!!!
You have inspired me! I am working on my deep cleaning now and seems like I will never be done. I found some things on your list that I have forgotten about. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration! A friend of mine recently said she thinks about her housework as house blessing. Though you would like that idea:o) Happy house blessing to you!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get your house clean, come to my house ok?!
ReplyDeleteLove your drive.
There is such a nice feeling when all is clean and put in it's place.
What great goals you set. No deep cleaning going on here. I do need to have a garage sale though...a BIG garage sale!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, Jessica! I have seen lists on other blogs, and I am so inspired to do something similar ... Most of the time I am lucky to keep up with the day-to-day =) But breaking it down to one task per day seems doable. Hmmm ... God bless your efforts!
