And busy I've been! I've been spring cleaning. I started in right after Christmas, tackling one room at a time, beginning with the living room as we were taking the tree down and putting away decorations.
From there I moved to the master bedroom, then to Kat's room, the bathroom and hallway, the kitchen (two full days on that one), and finally the computer/craft room. Yep, it's a small house, but we have LOTS of stuff. Things were cleaned and then organized, or sorted to be donated or sold in a garage sale we plan to have in a couple of months. Walls were wiped down, ceiling fans were washed or dusted, windows and blinds were cleaned, and floors were scrubbed. It wasn't a non-stop cleaning marathon, though. Some rooms only took a few hours, but they were spread out over a week.

Shane helped a lot with the living room and our bedroom, and he spot cleaned the carpeting. Kat helped me with her own room, but the rest of the house was up to me. That was my choice, though, so I'm not complaining.
There is still a lot to do around here (garage, basement, shed all come to mind), but it's so nice to have the main living areas really clean. It's almost like a fresh start, which is just what spring cleaning is meant to be, I think.
And with cleaning out of the of the way, full-blown garden planning is on! I hope to have more to say about that the next time I come up for air.
