I was just thinking the other day that I need to find motivation and steps to get our house cleaned from all of the winter yuck! We acutally just got another 8 inches of snow on Friday...ugh...so the ice melt continues to be tracked throughout the house. Suposedly it is going to be in the 50s this week! If so I will be doing a happy dance with my two year old! :) Amy -I am so excited to work through this process with you!

I also keep an almost empty closet in our guest bedroom and put all potential "garage sale" items in there(priced as they as placed)....then when our family has our annual sale I am ready. It is a great feeling to be organized.

With a toddler and a full time job I often put off cleaning because the thought of it is too overwhelming and there are so many other things I need to do...I like your suggestion to break down 7 tasks over a week for each room, one at a time. I often make a huge list of the things I want to do for the month and then try and loosely assign them to a day or week, but I hadn't thought of doing that regarding spring cleaning.
