		<description>Spring cleaning can be tough. We know lots of moms who aren&#039;t exactly looking forward to that time of the year. We&#039;d like to encourage everyone to use safe and friendly household solutions in cleaning. Good luck!</description>

		<description>Hi Tiffany,blogversary, Jen, Michelle, Sommer, Casey and Mary
I&#039;m all signed up and looking forward to this. I cleaned out the car yesterday and I&#039;m off to do a spot of decobwebbing now.
Kelly, I hope you get on well next week; purging toys feels so good! Sommer I so agree with you about writing making you feel accountable. It&#039;s like a burdern has been lifted once you write, but you know it to be true........

Good luck everyone and thanks for setting up this challenge, Tiffany!

		<description>I have just purchased the Clorox new green cleaners.  I love them.  I still use borax, baking soda and vinegar, but for cleaning in a rush these are great.

Like you I have donated old clothes, I have good condition clothes and toys to be taken to a consignment shop (25% of the sales go to a scholarship fund)  I need to do a deep cleaning like you said.  I &quot;heart&quot; cleaning with a toothbrush.

Decluttering is a never ending job.  I have been very good lately with not purchasing junk and things I don&#039;t need.  (no money helps with that also)

Love the blog.</description>

		<description>Writing stuff makes you more accountable. I still have boxes from our move three years ago. I&#039;ve decided to make sure nothing meaningful is in those boxes and then donate them. If I haven&#039;t needed it in three years why keep it?  Great post!

		<description>Great idea! I was thinking something along the same lines myself-NEXT week. Because there is just so many toys everywhere I look. This is the week of doctor&#039;s check ups and dentist appts. So I will live vicariously through your cleanup and dream about a clutter free home!

		<description>Great idea, I was thinking the same thing.  Especially about writing a list of things I would need/want and going to garage sales etc.  Also, with the warmer weather comes yard maintenance and this year we are not using any lawn company that will just spray chemical all over the grass.  We are also going to focus more on planting native plants.

I am phasing out all my old toxic house cleaners and finding new and green way to clean.

It is a process that takes time, as you said before.
