So it is finally starting to look and feel like spring here in NEPA, I really envy those of you who live in warmer climates and already have nice weather! Today we are going to tackle another job in our Spring Cleaning Challenge and we are going to Spring Clean Your Living Room.
The living room is the room in the house that besides the kitchen gets the most use. I love nothing more than curling up on the couch with the kids to watch our favorite TV shows or movies, especially when there is a great snack involved. But all that use means that the living room gets dirty quickly!
Spring Clean Your Living Room
Today’s task is: Deep clean your living room. Clean under your couch, find all that change lurking between your couch cushions, dust your furniture, vaccum really well, wipe your baseboards and do whatever else you need to do to make the room shine.

Every day we will be tackling a new area in our home that is often overlooked. At the end of the Challenge our homes will be in tip top shape and we will be ready to enjoy late Spring and Summer!
Remember, each task is designed to take you less than 30 minutes so that we don’t get overwhelmed. If you get behind, no worries, new tasks will only be posted Monday-Friday so you can always catch up the next day or over the weekend.
Make sure to check in daily for a new day’s Spring Cleaning task. Then do the task and leave a comment letting me know how it went.
I’ll keep you updated on how I am doing with the task as well and we can keep each other accountable!
