Is Spring finally here? Just as we were starting to enjoy the warmer weather, Mother nature said, "April Fools!" and sprinkled us with some more snow. However, according to recent weather reports we seem to be on the uphill climb towards warmer weather. If you are like us, you are wanting to open the windows, clean out closets, get out in the yard, clean out the garage, and maybe even get the last of the Christmas lights down. A few tips might help your family get motivated and stay on track.
1. Make a list. Once everyone in the family knows what needs to be done inside and out, you can divide and conquer.
2. Allow yourself time. Your home didn't get dirty in a weekend so don't expect to clean it in a weekend.
3. Hire out. You may not have the time or the skills to tackle some jobs, leave those to the experts. We know reputable carpet cleaners, window washers, handymen, and landscapers that we can refer.
4. Have fun. Our family likes to make a game or competition out of everything, even cleaning.
5. Reward yourself. It doesn't need to be a fancy dinner out or an expensive new toy. How about grilling out, drinks by the freshly landscaped garden, game night, or smores at the firepit.
