Spring Cleaning

Since today is the first day of spring, I thought it was only appropriate to do a little bit of spring cleaning.  I am absolutely loving my new Dyson vacuum.  I think I have vacuumed more since I got the new vacuum than I did in the seven months we lived in this house before getting the vacuum.  That might be a little bit far from the truth, but I absolutely love using this vacuum!  I feel like the carpets are getting so much cleaner with it. 

So, the house got a good vacuum!  It always blows my mind how much hair it sucks up from the dogs.  I kind of wish I could vacuum down the dogs.... no matter how many times I brush them, I find white hair everywhere.  But, we wouldn't trade them for the world. 

The other thing I worked on tonight was cleaning out our bedroom.  With Andrew and I both being on the go lately, our bedroom has been a bit of a dumping ground.  There were suitcases everywhere and piles of laundry.  Everything has been picked up now, and I feel like it is a brand new room.  I felt like I had stacks of clothes all over the place and realized that we have two drawers in our bed for storage that weren't being used.  I put them to use, and man are they good storage!  I don't know about you guys, but there is something so satisfying about having an organized bedroom.  It is a huge stress reliever for me!   

The other thing I worked on while cleaning out our room was getting rid of some more clothes that I didn't wear this winter season.  If I go through a season and don't wear something, it gets put in the donate pile. 

My other spring "project" I finished this week, was signing up for a new gym.  When I worked at Principal, I worked out in the gym in my building.  Since I didn't have access to that gym any more, I needed to find a new one.  I lucked out that there is a gym less than five minutes from our house.  I have officially signed up and went to my first workout there today.  I'm excited to go to my first of two free sessions with a personal trainer tomorrow.  I hope to get some ideas to get past my current plateau. 

I hope the next spring cleaning project at this house involved cleaning up the yard and getting ready for landscaping projects.  If the weather would cooperate, I would be a happy camper. 

What is your spring cleaning routine?  Are you doing anything new and exciting this spring?
