Kitchen Tip Tuesday: Spring Cleaning

I thought I would share with you my spring cleaning list. It seems to be a theme in the 'ol blogosphere lately. I'll list it just like I have it in my computer. If you want to copy and paste it and make your own tweaked version, feel free! I try to get the items done with-in two weeks. Usually I start in March before our crazy month of April begins but this year April kind of caught me by surprise. I started last week. I also have to add that there are several items on the list that (thanks to the Motivated Moms planner) I do more like monthly or weekly. Those items are on the list just to add to the overall completeness of a cleaned room. Make sense? So...go ahead...clean something! : )
