Spring is in the air here in Southern California. I know, I know – some of you are still in the thick of winter. But it was 85 degrees here yesterday and I got a flip flop tan line on my feet while at my son’s baseball game! Besides Easter and pretty flowers, spring makes me think about spring cleaning. There are a couple of times a year that I want to throw out everything in my home and start from scratch.. right around the new year and around spring break. I wanted to gather the best ideas for spring cleaning and quickly realized there are about 9230923573823 ideas out there. So I had to break them up, main area by main area. The first stop is the kitchen.
Here’s the real deal – this is a big list. Nobody is going to tell on you if you don’t tackle ALL of it. But if you cross some of these things off, you’ll be one step further than you were before, right? So get in there and get go for it.
To motivate you a little more, I created a spring cleaning kitchen checklist. You can get it by subscribing to my newsletter right here:
