I don’t know what it is, but this time of year I always feel the cleaning bug come upon me.  I make a list of all the things I want to get done and try to tackle at least one thing a day.  It feels so great!
Here are some simple things you can do to make you and your home feel more organized and clean:

1) Have your carpets cleaned.  We just did this a couple weeks ago and it has made all the difference!  EVERYTHING felt so much cleaner.
2) Organize a shelf or closet a day.  This is something I’ve been trying to work on.  Somehow all my spaces get disorganized at some point.  I love looking in a shelf and having it all organized.

This felt so much better to me! I know quite the food pantry, huh?  Not my favorite, but it does the job! 🙂
Tomorrow’s project is cleaning out under the sink in the bathroom. *sigh*  I can do it!
Also, I’ve been trying to wipe down all the blinds and baseboards in my house.  These little things make all the difference! (Disclaimer: I by no means am telling you I have the cleanest house in the world)
3) Another way to change things up and clean is to move your room around.  I love this change.  I’d show you mine, but it hasn’t quite happened yet.  What a great way to clean out all that “lingering” stuff that somehow gets under your bed 🙂

And this doesn’t have anything to do with cleaning, but I made a yummy soup tonight I wanted to share!   This is a must try.  Not the healthiest in the world, but it does have the word “broccoli” in it.  My family just loved it.
