Spring Cleaning

It's currently 18* outside my window, and there's a fresh blanket of snow on the lawn behind the building. My beloved Jeep has too much salt splattered against it's exterior and too much puppy fur built up on the inside because it's been too cold and too nasty to attempt the scrubbing it deserves.

Needless to say, I've informed the "open-things-up, air-things-out and make-everything-shiny" spring cleaning vibes currently floating about the online air that they will simply have to wait until the New York weather decides to be accommodating. :0)

For those of you that live somewhere with more constructive weather patterns, or who aren't impulsive cleaners and could use some gearing up for a spring-cleaning binge, Tsh over at SimpleMom is hosting a five- week Project Simplify event to help encourage busy women to get their homes and lives organized and ready for the fun of summer!


PS - Things like this are great opportunities - both to see what creative clutter-busting solutions other people come up with and as calming reassurance after you've watched too many episodes of Hoarders and given yourself nightmares. ;0)
