Last year was crazy because multiple family members had health issues that took several months or more to resolve. We were in crisis mode, and I didn’t accomplish much anything around the house. This year, life is much more peaceful, and I’m suddenly seeing everything that needs to be done! So, I created this spring cleaning list and hope you will keep me accountable.
Master Bedroom
- Changing out winter bedding for spring bedding;
- Wash winter bedding and put it away (It’s so thick, this will require a warm spring day, which may still be a few weeks out)
- Clean windows
- Dust bookshelves
- Vacuum the entire bedroom (move furniture to get in typically unreached areas)
- Bring out spring clothes & put away winter ones
- Clean the closet
- Buy & install room-darkening curtains
Master Bathroom
- Clean the window
- Change out the winter shower curtain & bath mat
- Clean baseboards and heating vent

Household Maintenance
- Call the counter company about the crack in the corner of our new(ish) counter

Whew. That’s our list, and it’s a big one with our time constraints, so we plan to chip away at it little by little and hopefully have it done by June.
