Spring Cleaning 2020

Spring cleaning has officially begun at the Vue residence!  Being home has given me so much time to clean, declutter, minimalize, and to really allow me to KEEP. THINGS. SIMPLE.  I love having a clean space + being able to narrow down to the things in our home that sparks joy, provides purpose, and holds meaning, has my mama heart SO happy. Alongside Spring Cleaning, I created our family a little cleaning schedule also. We have put it into play this week and I am LOVING IT!

Cleaning Tips:
1. Start off small: Start off by choosing one room of your home to work with first. Then within that room, target one area at a time to clean/declutter.
2. Make Piles: While going through your items, place them into FOUR separate piles -- "Keep, Maybe, Give Away, Throw Away."  Go through each item and really evaluate if the item sparks joy or provides purpose for your home.
3. Thieves Household Cleaner: One cleaner to clean our counters, floors, bathrooms, mirrors, windows, and so much more. Cost effective, smells like Christmas, plant-based, toxin-free, safe for children + pets, AND gets.the.job.DONE!
4. Set a timer: I have found that when I set a time (10-15 minutes) I am able to get more done! Try it out. Let me know what you think and if it helped you clean faster and more effectively.
5. Find a routine: I totally understand that many of us have busy schedules and cleaning on the daily can be hard! Trust me, we have dedicated some days JUST for cleaning or to catch up with cleaning. However, I have found that when we schedule out specific time or specific things to clean each day, there isn't as much of a build up to clean in the long run!
