I’ve mentioned that I really enjoy cleaning and organizing. So when spring cleaning time rolls around, I’m all in without much prodding. Especially if I have new organization supplies or cute rubber gloves to play with.
Not everyone gets quite as pumped at the thought of spring cleaning as I do, however. My friends have confirmed this for me by the rolling of their eyes when I talk excitedly about organized drawers. Continue reading »
Excited to partner with Walmart & SheSpeaks to bring you some fun ideas for spring gardening with kids!
It’s been chilly here the past few days, but it’s consistently getting warmer and more sunny every day. Spring really wants to shine!
To get ready for spring we’ve been doing lots of spring cleaning, including getting the garage organized. While he was moving things around my husband found some seeds we had left from last season. Bubbles immediately declared that we needed to plant them. The only problem with that was… we only had gardening soil, but no starters or planters. Continue reading »
Thank you to The Motherhood and Kimberly-Clark for partnering with me to bring you this printable cleaning chart for preschoolers.
Bubbles loves to help around the house. She knows where we keep the duster and often just gets it and asks if she can dust. And if she hears the dryer buzz when it’s finished, she races me there so she can help fold clothes.
The past couple of weeks we’ve had a few days of beautiful weather mixed in with some rainy cold ones. When the sun has been out, we’ve been out with it getting a jump on our spring cleaning. As Bubbles, of course, has wanted to be involved in that, too, I looked for a way to make it easier for her to participate. Continue reading »

After what feels like weeks of nonstop rain, we were finally supposed to get a break with two days of sun over the weekend. I woke up on Friday to find that we had been granted a bonus day, as the skies were clear and it was already warming up. It was a little bit like being in school and finding out it was an early release day that you didn’t know about.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, as when I walked outside nearly the entire neighborhood was out. There were lawn mowers being gassed up, lawns raked, garages being cleaned. We all had spring cleaning fever and no one was going to let the opportunity to get some work done pass us by before the rain started to fall again. Continue reading »

While I started spring cleaning back in February or March, it’s a process that seems to always run into the start of summer. The general deep cleaning and refreshing is completed, but there are still the random odds and ends you haven’t decided what to do with. And of course, there are the clothes.
Culling through our spring clothes to decide what we need for summer is usually the last item on my list. Mostly because Bubbles still grows fast enough that, depending on the brand, you’re never really sure what’s still going to fit two weeks down the road. So I usually find myself waiting until I realize she only has one pair of shorts or a closet full of long-sleeved shirts on an 80 degree day, and finally make the switch.
What always makes me sad about this process is that Bubbles is not really a rough-and-tumble kid. Her clothes stay in great shape, she just outgrows them too fast to wear for very long. This year I even specifically purchased a more “laid back” Easter dress so that she could at least wear it to Ashley and Austin’s graduations and I’d feel less bad about buying something worn three times versus just once.
