With spring time in the air, what better time to do some serious, “out with the old, in with the new”, cleaning. Today, I am sharing with you how our family does “Spring Cleaning” and what tips/tricks I have found super helpful to make the task manageable and even… enjoyable! Step 1: Start With Your Closet. Follow these really simple questions as you clean out your closet to help get rid of the old and make space for something new this spring!
Once I have created a “good-bye” pile that is ready to go, I bag up everything and prepare it for donation. Often times I will take them to Salvation Army or good will. If you live in an area that has Savers, they have opened several drop off locations! Step 2: Spring Clean Your Pantry. As the warmer days approach and we try to shake off the winter blues… there is always one room in our house that needs some serious TLC, the kitchen. Spring is such a great time to clean out your kitchen, beginning with your fridge and pantry. Once you have a clean and orderly fridge and pantry it’s easier to lead a healthy and even more economic life. I always feel like once I have cleaned out the pantry and fridge I can get rid of any processed, nutrient-empty foods that have snuck into our home and replace them with nutrient dense, whole foods. It also really helps to eliminate double buying. When I can see what rice, soups, etc. we have in our pantry, I won’t buy them again the next time I am shopping.
Step 3: Spring Clean Your Mind.
As far as the people go, you can’t just pull out of every negative situation in your life. We all have loved ones in need of our support, bills that need to be paid and a healthy lifestyle requires effort. But when you can’t change the world or people around you, you can still change your attitude and the way in which you approach the situations.
Do you have "Spring Cleaning" techniques that you love? How do you like to reset after a long winter and get ready for the longer, brighter days ahead?
