Are you ready for it? The season to freshen everything up and jump into that spring cleaning? Yeah...me either. LOL Seems a bit pointless when you have a dirt driveway that turns to mud, but...I even bought a new mat for in front of the door to collect the mess. Did I put it down yet? Nope. Why? It will get dirty...just a little unsolicited sneak peek in to my head... ;)
How about some easy peasy citrus-infused DIYs?? Will they help get you motivated to do the cleaning? Or will you just enjoy creating them? ;)
