A common rule for spring cleaning is that all motions involving scrubbing should be done deosil or clockwise to aid in filling the home with good energy for growth.
This time of new beginnings can apply to jobs, relationships, living situations, and lifestyle choices. It is also a time for introspection.

Spring cleaning: I like to start with the Kitchen as it is the heart of your home. The Kitchen holds our nourishment, we tend to spend a good amount of time there, and the state of our Kitchen can start our day on a good note, or not.
Wonderful list for cleaning the kitchen!!
***Don’t forget about RealSimple & folders for while spring cleaning!!!***

Gardening: one of winter’s great pleasures for the gardener, novice or otherwise, is the planning. This is the perfect time to start your garden journal if you haven’t already. *Interesting topic!! May decide to start one.

Goddess garden: Walk the garden in early spring, surveying the daffodils and the damage from over-wintering. Don’t make a list of tasks or sketch out any designs; this first walk is for pleasure, and you can make a ritual of it to summon spring.
