Spring has sprung!

Tulip has sprung!

It felt like it was never going to get here!  I walked by my house this evening and was so happy to see my first tulip!!!  I can't believe it!  

I'm so excited that I have the need to add exclamation points to the end of every sentence!!!

:)

One thing about spring arriving is the urge to purge, declutter and clean.  I pounced on parts of my kitchen and dining room buffet this weekend but I admit I was a big ole grump because I couldn't really tackle any big jobs.  They feel so big and daunting, I'm not sure where to start, that I get analysis paralysis.  I think I need to start a list and take baby steps.

Do you have the urge to spring clean?

  1. I purge all the clothes in the house and donate them to WINGS women's shelter (the donating part makes me feel especially good AND I can pare down our closets).

  2. I usually start with the windows it's a huge job and I always feel much better when that is out of the way! It helps that I can see the beautiful signs of spring more clearly.

  3. Foodie suz: Oh yes... I pass down a lot of my kids clothes. Feels good to get them all out.

    Coffee girl: that was one thing on the list this weekend that didn't get done. I totally understand the windows being clean, it makes a huge difference!

  4. I've been doing the Kitchn Cure. Great for breaking down an overwhelming task into small bits. I find that if I can give an hour or even just 30 minutes I actually get a lot done.

  5. o yes, do I have the spring cleaning urge! The problem is; there is soooo much to do that I kind of get scared and don't do it at all, but I should be making a list of stuff to do too!
    Fabulous tulip photo by the way!
