Spring Cleaning

It's taken a while but I've just got into my Spring Cleaning. I did start a few weeks a go (probably 5 now I think about it!) and started de-cluttering some rooms. I finally let go of the kids baby clothes and some of my clothes I hadn't worn in the last year. But now I've started on the big stuff. I washed all the windows yesterday and helped hubby weed the front garden (that was a big job). Today I washed all the curtains and started moving furniture and vacuuming underneath. I had a Personal Training session at the gym in the middle too, so I'm feeling really worn out now.

I'm not a naturally neat person, I love a nice clean house but I'm not someone who uses something and puts it straight back. My other fault is I start too many things at once so I get all the stuff I need to do something then get sidetracked and leave it there, which is why my sewing machine is still on the lounge room floor from last week!

Something I have found that does help me be neater and more organised is The FlyLady. My friend Coralie introduced it to me. The FlyLady or ladies have some great systems for getting your house clean and getting on top of clutter. The website even has great plans for planning your day so cleaning isn't an all day event, it just works into your day.

I can recommend you start at the Beginner BabySteps, then when you've conquered that head into the Flying Lessons.

It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it and remember Proverbs 31 "First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started. She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking." I haven't got to the eager to get started stage yet, I guess I need to keep blossoming!
