The sun is finally shining, the birds are chirping and the windows are open as the fresh air fills your home. Ahhhhhh! It’s spring cleaning time!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t just love cleaning. But I do love the end result, so I embrace the process as much as I can and concentrate on the prize of having a clean and clutter-free home as we go into summer.
There is nothing more satisfying than having a clean and decluttered home. Nothing.
It’s the difference between walking in and feeling discouraged and downtrodden and walking into a room and feeling light-hearted and inspired. Can I get an amen?!
Personally, I like to do a deep cleaning & decluttering of my home right before Christmas (in preparation of the craziness and the influx of new stuff) and right before summer (because it’s just downright mayhem all summer long and I can’t do that with a cluttered, dirty home and stay sane).
So, it’s time to tackle spring cleaning the house!
I’ve created an all-inclusive list of all the things to clean and declutter right now. But feel free to just do the basics if you’re short on time or take a few weeks and go through the list thoroughly. It’s up to you and I encourage you to make it work for your life and your needs in this moment.
Do you feel like you don’t have time to conquer this list? May I be forward with you?
You are the gate keeper of your life and your calendar. Everything that makes its way on your schedule is your choice. Well, almost all of it. Say no to some things so that you can make the time to take care of your home.
Creating margin in your life is not only healthy, but helpful and no one will criticize your choices. Even if they do, someone else’s opinion is none of your business. 😉
Make a commitment today to a specific time to tackle this list and what needs to happen in your home in order to go into summer with a clean and decluttered home!

I saw a picture of what I assume is your kitchen in the spring cleaning checklist with the Puckett’s grocery sign! I have to tell you I have that same style of cupboards in Pearl color but different hardware. From a previous post you said you had discovered Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray paint. I have had that color in my kitchen for six years now. I love it and never tire of it! Bit the best part was seeing the sign! My grandkids call me Granny Puckett from the movie Hoodwinked and my personalized license plates are GRNY PKT. Thanks for making me smile.

Yes! That’s my old kitchen … but I still have the sign. I made it years ago because there’s a diner in my hometown by the same name, so it’s a nod to my home town. Comfort Gray is a beautiful color and I plan on using it again in my home!

Excellent idea.
There’s something satisfying about cleansing the house of clutter. It’s one of those things where once I start, I can work away for hours and really enjoy the process. The only problem is getting started! Thanks for the checklist.

Chris Pyle says
Looks great and exactly what I need. Was just thinking thr same thing about the need to clean. Been spot cleaning hit and miss and sadly mostly miss. I want it to shine in here.
Laura says
Yes! It helps me greatly to have a list so that I’m not hit and miss cleaning! 🙂 Glad it’s helpful, Chris!
