Introducing The Spring Cleaning Challenge!

Spring is in the air! We’ve had lovely weather here the past few days, and while we’ve been enjoying plenty of time outside, being able to open up the windows and let some fresh air into the house has also given me the itch to start spring cleaning!

And I’m so excited to be participating in The Spring Cleaning Challenge this year, along with an amazing group of bloggers, and being able to share some awesome giveaways with you – just for cleaning your house!

Spring Cleaning Challenge

Here’s how it works: Over the next few weeks, spend some time spring cleaning and organizing around your home, and post about your efforts on your blog (be sure to take before and after photos!). We’ll be sharing our favorite posts on Facebook, twitter and on our Spring Cleaning Pinterest Board.

Next Tuesday come back for my Spring Cleaning Challenge post, and links to all of the other bloggers Spring Cleaning posts. We’ll each be tackling a different room or area in our houses, so you’re sure to find lots of great ideas and inspiration for cleaning all around your home!
