Fall Cleaning Tip

Fall is just around the corner, and you know what that means: the lower lying sun shines in at the most opportune angle to showcase every dust mote and dirt smear and cobweb that you have been ignoring all summer.
And who can blame someone for ignoring the inside of the house this summer? The weather has been awesome, the beaches pretty good, the camping great.
We have managed to get away four times this summer, a new record for us. This is of course due to the fact that my husbands parents park a motorhome out at Waterton for the summer and we get a chance to go out on weekends. Think better sleeping but the same amount of housework when you leave.....still great.

But.....it's time for school, and Fall, and for me that means Fall Cleaning!!
Time to wash the curtains, the screens from the windows, the outside of the windows..
Time to declutter the bathroom drawers, the closets, the storeroom.
Time to ditch all those "leftovers" you've been saving in the freezer since last Christmas.
Time to wash bedding, vaccuum under furniture, dust walls, wipe lights, wash light switches, organize bookshelves.....

There is an endless list of things that could be done......but the best one that I have done this summer is overhaul my eating: We eat Clean at my house now as much as we can. Losing a nice chunk of weight and feeling better overall has contributed greatly to my personal optimism and the general feeling of preparedness that I long for when Fall arrives. I even wore my bikini at the pool all summer....even though I really need a new one....

My Fall Cleaning Tip is this: start with one thing......and then move on to another. Start with the junk drawer.....then move to the linens closet tomorrow....
Make your list....then only do one thing on it....save others for other days.
You will never be overwhelmed, and if you work at it three times a week, all those hiddens spots will get attended to in record time.

Or, give me a call!

My love of dirt fighting is keeping me going today? What is keeping you going?
