Spring Cleaning- One Chore a Day

I was reading an article from HGTV.com and discovered a great calendar with a daily tip for spring cleaning your house. 

I really appreciate simple, daily tips.  They help keep me on track without overwhelming me and my ever-growing to-do- list.  


Today's tip is to "Lose the Magnets."  




The refrigerator is a magnet for attracting clutter (haha!) and weighing down a perfectly clean kitchen. 

It's easy to see from these pictures that it's definitely time to "lose the magnets" and de-clutter.

It's true- when you spruce up the refrigerator your whole kitchen seems cleaner, brighter, more free, and less cluttered.  

So, it's time to throw out the expired coupons and take-out menus, move art work to its more permanent home, and tidy things up a bit.  

I always like to: 

1. Take everything off
2. Wipe it all down so it's clean & shiny :)
3. Decide what really stays and what goes
4. Carefully put back what's necessary, not cluttered
