Put that spring cleaning energy to good use

A few ideas that might lead to a more organized and fresh space

There’s something about spring that makes people want to start fresh. Especially for those of us living in places with four real seasons, the arrival of warmer weather makes us want to open the windows and let out the winter mustiness (and germs).

So I always find myself reading through magazine stories about spring cleaning tips. However, since I already have a cleaning service doing a pretty thorough job on my house every week, I’m not sure that I get much use out of a tip to make my own cleaning spray with diluted vinegar.

Instead, here are a few things I actually intend to do with that spring cleaning/decluttering energy that I think will make a difference in freshening things up around here.
