March 21, 2007 | By Marie In Housekeeping |

Time flies by so quickly. Can you belive that it is time once again for your annual spring cleaning? The weather has been really wacky - they say it’s global warming but that is no excuse not to get into your spring cleaning routine. so, let’s get started.

In some places of the world, the windows may be frozen shut - in others, they are not. In any event, it would be great to be able to open the windows and let in the fresh air! But it is not as simple as that. You will need to wash those windows. But, what if you are not in the mood? Here’s a quick tip … grab your favorite upbeat cd. It is surprising how the music will put you in the cleaning mode.

Ok, so the windows are washed, it‘s time to take down the drapes and dust those blinds. Are you ready? Take out those spring curtains, iron them and put them up. Doesn’t that look good? Now let’s get going … time to work in the kitchen to clean up those shelves. Keep that music going - it’ll help you stay motivated and will make time fly by even quicker.

Alrighty then, time to get more physical! Take out your vacuum. If you have some disco cd’s - that’ll even be better. You can dance while you vacuum - how fun is that! You can then proceed to tidying up the bathroom. Dusting and polishing is next on the agenda. Do some knee bends as you clean and polish the coffee table.

You are almost done - hurray! It’s just the kid’s rooms that need tidying up. As you work your way through their rooms, picking up toys; you are done! Dance your way back to the kitchen and have a a tall glass of iced tea. You deserve it. Wasn’t that an awesome workout? I bet you didn’t know Spring cleaning can feel so good.
