I realized that I am the happiest when I am organizing, planning, decluttering, cleaning, creating, etc. One of the blogs I follow – Clover Lane – inspired me to start this spring cleaning method. The writer of the blog decided that for the Lenten season, she would take on a project titled 40 bags in 40 days. And for each day, she armed herself with Magic Erasers and black garbage bags, and went around the house to each designated area, decluterring the space. She assigned the keep, toss, or give away piles and just tossed the give away bags in the back of her van, and drove it to Goodwill every week. Her method has inspired many of her readers to do the same or some version of it, and I am one of them.
Since it is just Aaron and I, the goal will be half of hers – hence 20 bags in 20 Days. I will use the same process she has used and I know I will definitely appreciate this chance to spring clean, when it is all over and my home looks simple, classic, clean and cozy.
Here is how I divided up my areas:
I am on my way to simplify my life and surround myself with what’s important! What are some of the methods you use to spring clean?

Jules! The first project is down, and I ended up with a clean closet, and a box of shoes that I am going to sell on Craigslist! So I would say it went well 😀 Now on to the second project!
