Spring Cleaning

I was inspired by the blog over at Clover Lane called 40 Bags Update. I don't imagine I will be as thorough as the author Sarah, but I still hope to put a dent into our house by getting rid of things we are not using and donating them. I'm on day four so far and here's what I've tackled:

1. Master Closet
2. Linen Closet
3. 5 Kitchen drawer/ cupboards
4. Upstairs nook drawers
5. Kid's bathroom

In those small areas alone I have three garbage bags full of clothes and linens to donate. I also have a box full of kitchen gadgets that we never use that I'll donate. The clean as you go though is key. Making sure I have the vacuum, and the Lysol towelettes on hand has been helpful. I'm now debating between tackling the spare room closet (a disaster zone) or the laundry room. The good thing out of this process is I'm making a mental note of the little things I would like to get to organize everything. For instance, I'd like to get small containers from the Dollar Store or Walmart to make compartments certain objects. Happy cleaning!
