Ep 278: Spring Organizing Checklist
Hi Friends,
Happy April everyone!
Technically, Spring is here (although in the North East it doesn’t quite feel like it) and you know what that means….time for some Spring Cleaning Tips.
On today’s episode I walk you through my Spring Organizing Checklist for both inside and outside the house. Some of these you may want to outsource to a professional, others you can tackle alone or with the help of your family. Do a little at a time or block a whole weekend. The purpose of this is to help give you a roadmap to follow.
