I like to pretend that spring is on it's way because although it may still be freezing outside, winter will soon be over. And what better way to celebrate the new season? Cleaning! Cleaning may not be everyone's' favourite thing to do but it's definitely mine (lol). Even if you hate cleaning but still want to do de-clutter your life, the good news is that you totally can. My advice is to start small and get rid of a few things every day for a month. Then at the end of the month your home will be that much tidier. I compiled a list of things below that you can get rid of this spring and they are organized by the rooms in your house. Like I say in every other post on this blog, make sure you have fun with it!
