I love spring time! It's a time of newness and just very refreshing. I was going to wait until school was finished a little farther to do my spring cleaning but just couldn't wait any longer! We doubled our work load in school yesterday and decided to do some spring cleaning now already and also enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having.
Today I worked on our bedroom. Cleaned everything top to bottom and then did the windows in our girls' room. One thing that can be motivating in this process is to challenge others to do their cleaning at the same time and then share before and after pictures with each other. I did this through my
facebook page .
Here are some before and after shots:

Motivation in the home is a very big thing! I have gone through times I was not motivated and I also get so busy with other things that staying organized and keeping the home clean isn't always at the top of my list, but I do think we need to do our best with what God has given us! Having little children+ homeschooling = big messes. (especially with a 5 year old who has a ver big imagination! ) And so I have stopped expecting perfection. I think all that God is asking us to do is to keep going. Don't procrastinate! (the act of willfully delaying the doing of something that should be done)
And then there are those who have totally different ideas!:) Glad he was having fun getting all muddy on the quad they borrowed, while I was working away! Ha ha!
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
