Spring Break = Spring Cleaning

Why is it, that every Spring, we purge out the old, crummy clutter, just to make room for new, crummy clutter?  This happens to me every spring.  I get so proud of myself for the hard work that I put into cleaning...and man, I mean...I devote an entire WEEK out of the year to "spring cleaning."

The other 51 weeks of the year are spent cluttering up the area I treasured the week before.  Why is this?  I get so irritated when I recogize this is happening...

But mark my word...this year is going to be different!  I refuse to clutter up my precious space!! 

This year, I began my cleaning spree in my closet.  It is so much fun to get rid of clothes...especially those are too BIG! Yay! I feel like a new woman when I clean out my closet.  I hate to admit, that this area has been neglected for a few years! It is finished now...Whew, what a relief!

I have this room....I think we all have a similar room...that collects all the big junk.  Technically, this isn't junk in my lovely room.  It's wedding gifts that haven't been used yet...like, new dishes, crockpots, small kitchen appliances, towels, shower curtains, that sort of thing.  We are saving all the "goods" for our new house...that way, we will have new things to fill it!! How fun is that!! ;)  Well, there were some things in there that had to go...Donny's grandparents lived in  our home before us, so there was still some of their things in there.  That sounded bad.....Not good things, or anything with emotional attachment, but just stuff we hadn't distributed to other family members or just things that needed to be thrown away that they hadn't done yet.  We found 2 karoake machines, 2 or 3 radios...lots of face masks, all kinds of stuff!  Thanks to Mrs. Beth for her awesome help!! 

I think that was the room that I got the most satisfaction from.  I am still in my cleaning journey this week, so Donny better lock up the things he wants to keep!  Things seems to "disappear"...and its mostly his stuff!!  haha..poor Donny! I told him that if he helped, that wouldn't happen!!

I challenge you to purge your clutter...in all aspects of life...faith, life, and your home!
