I actually do spring cleaning all year long. I follow a very "strict" schedule & it seems to be better for me. I get up at 4:30 a.m. every day. I spend 1 hr. reading my Bible & praying then my day of chores & such start. I spend 2 hrs. cleaning in the morning. Then I start our homeschool day. I can clean during school also, as my kids don't have to have me there every minute. As for organization, I've purchased those huge "tupperware" type containers to put winter clothes in, extra pictures, magazines (we use for art projects), etc. I keep a list of chores I'm going to do for each day. I take 1 day a week & focus on things that are extra .... ie, polishing brass cupboard handles, cleaning switch plates, dusting ceiling fans, windows etc. Scheduling my days works best for me. I always seem to find extra time ......
God bless,
