Should we deep clean together? My past cleaning and organizing posts have always been popular, so why the heck not? If you join me in this deep cleaning challenge, we'll take it slowly and most importantly we'll be thorough. We'll get to those hard to reach and neglected areas. We will also declutter along the way. We won't be marathon cleaning in the traditional sense, but rather work only an hour a day, but on some days we'll work for several hours if time allows, and we'll take days off because we want to avoid burn out. Depending on the size of your home, the time you can allow, and whether or not you have to declutter, I imagine we'll be in this for one, two or three months. I'll be here on Mondays through March to cheer you along. So there I've said it. I'm making a commitment to myself and to you that I'll be here every Monday and I hope you'll join me. We're on our way to creating a more beautiful and pleasant living environment thus lowering stress, reducing allergies, and positively impacting our self esteem and sense of control.

Hello and Happy New Year! Today is a quiet day and this afternoon after I'm done here I'm going to head to my knitting room for a few hours of knitting bliss before I start dinner. I've got lots to share today--knitting, books, crafts and cooking, so come on in!
