Theme: Spring Cleaning Project 3!

Today's Challenge: What's the last spring cleaning project will you accomplish today for this month's challenge? We've all got small projects around the house that we've been meaning to get to...now's the time! After this challenge, you will have completed three house projects that have been on your to-do list. They are now done. Way to go!

Alternative Challenge: Give yourself active goals to achieve throughout the day. They can be small or big just try to get as many done as you can.

    I'll go for a cleaning job since I'm working at home today. During lunch break, I'll clean out a kitchen wardrobe. It used to be a yearly job but kids got in the way, lol. :)

    Great activity for today! I have to clean my cabin and house to get ready for company this weekend! The cabin has been locked up over winter and my children love staying in there when they come visit.

    Looks like rain here today. I will go to my PT then clean a room, or just take a day and read. LOL

    Well, I'm happy to report that I got my coworkers to do some office spring cleaning yesterday. We all went full-steam for about an hour. It was awesome!

    Today, I will mop the bathrooms and hallway. Maybe the kitchen, too. Maybe.

    I am going to go through my DVD shelves and organize or purge. Then clean the living room carpets.

    Great job, Everyone! And just a heads up...if you don't finish your project today, tomorrow's challenge will tie in very nicely to what you are doing today.

    @pitbullmama1, keeping a list of sit less/move more projects is a great idea!

    I kept active in the office today by using the bathroom that is furtherest away from my desk. This bathroom is across the floor and I consumed large amounts of water so I had to use the bathroom atleast every 30 minutes or so.

    Great challenge! My ongoing Spring projects are to continue to declutter the back room as well as organize what is being kept. I made another Goodwill run yesterday o:) .
    An outside cleanup project, besides the yard and on the sides of the house, is the back fence flower garden (quite wide and runs the length of the fence. It has been a 20+ year ongoing fun project :) ) This is the spring maintenance and after winter cleanup. It had been more neglected over the past two years because of caring for my brother. So it is looking pretty wild, but wonderful... from a distance :laugh:. All the the different sage is blooming wildly because of the rain we have had lately. And the daylilies are finally doing really amazing this year, so I won't bother them at all right now :sunglasses: :

    Tonight, if it doesn't rain I will hopefully be outside working on the garden. Because of the morning rain I ended up being inside, very aware to do as much as possible while standing o:) !

    I love these challenges! :flowerforyou:

    All curtains and sheers were cleaned and rehung- meanwhile the bright natural light was the mood enhancer I needed. I had energy abounding today; even got in a game with the kiddos :)

    Because I didn't realize I was behind in another challenge, I had some serious active goals for today. Made great progress. :)

    I'm reading Spark Joy to guide me through cleaning out unnecessary clutter from my house. I finished going through all of my clothes and gave away 2 large bags to a charity. I'm working on books but having a tough time parting with so many of them. But since they bring me joy, I guess they're here to stay awhile. There's no good reason to hang on to things for the wrong reasons.

    Well my daughter beat me to my spring cleaning project....matching all of our lids to our bowls! Hahaha we had all sorts of mysterious lids that didn't have matching bowls. I came home from running and she had sorted not only those, but the cups (especially kid cups) as well! So I'll need to come up with a new spring cleaning project :D

    Help DH sort through his clothes, he has some that are so large on him, he looks clownlike walking around in them. We have pulled out all his smaller things, and they are looking great on him. I did this earlier with my clothes and he wanted to do the same so we have been doing it together. It is helping with the clutter in the basement :)

    It is snowing here today so I will be doing dvd workouts today to keep up the movement.

    I cleaned out my office at home. Finally decluttered the desk and cleaned up all the cords and electronics that were lying around. I also cleaned out my jewelry box which has been a total mess for a year!!
