Spring Cleaning Challenge

Spring Clean

SPRING CLEANING, HERE WE COME!!

I have been giddy with excitement the last few months waiting for the Spring Cleaning season to arrive. Not because I want to clean. No, no. That’s not it at all. I’ve been excited because I want to help you get motivated to clean and organize your home.

How can I help motivate you? Well glad you asked!

I’ve teamed up with some Ah-mazing bloggers who are ready to inspire you to make your home the best it can be! On the first day of Spring, March 20, we’ll each tackle one area of the home and share insights and tips to make your own project easier. Then we’ll open up a combined linky so you can link up your own Spring Cleaning efforts posted on your blog. If you don’t have a blog, don’t worry…you can still participate by linking up a photo album housed on Google+, Flicker, etc.

We’ll be sharing the most inspirational, helpful, or exciting posts on Facebook, twitter, and this shared Spring Cleaning Pinterest Board. So make your posts good!! :)

Of course, the co-hosts each have their own area of expertise so make sure to stop by their blogs to subscribe (and follow them on Facebook, Pinterest & Twitter) an hear from some of the BEST!

PRIZES!!

If that’s not enough motivation for you, how about some prizes?

Now, we didn’t want to offer the ol’ run of the mill prizes. We wanted to offer BIG and amazingly USEFUL prizes!!

#1 & #2

Can I just tell you how much I like my friends at GE Appliances?

You should like them too. Why? Because, when I talked to them about joining our challenge, they offered up not one…but TWO Washer/Dyer sets!!

They’re actually top secret Washer and Dryer sets because no one outside of GE knows the new features. The only thing I do know is that they’re going to have some amazing new bells and whistles you’re going to love!

Now, this next prize is one that I’m super jealous of. I would absolutely loooove walking into my closet if it looked remotely like this picture. And it certainly would be more organized too. Wouldn’t yours? Well, one of you will have the chance to put a Do-it-Yourself Easy Track Deluxe Closet Organization Kit from The Stow Company in your closet!!

If your closet could use a little organizing, let The Stow Company know here :: Facebook :: Pinterest :: Twitter

The day after Christmas it seemed like all of my friends were posting their favorite gifts on Facebook. My newsfeed was full of people boasting about this thing called a Shark Steam Mop. If my non-cleaning friends all loved this little gadget, you know I had to look them up. And guess what? Shark thinks one of you needs join the group of fans too!

I’m a wife. I’m a mom. And I don’t like to clean! With a house full of boys, though, cleaning is inevitable. That's why I've made it my mission to find the best organizing and cleaning tips. Hopefully, those tips will help us spend less time cleaning and more time with the ones we love.

I found you via AskAnna.com

I am SO excited about joining you in the Spring Cleaning Challenge. I just got new living room furniture and remodeled a bathroom. I am deep in cleaning and organization mode as a result :-) I can’t wait to join the challenge and get super-organized and clean. Thanks for doing this!

Please allow me to join the “Spring Cleaning Challenge” … My husband and I have recenlty been blessed to have our oldest daughter and her two sons, ages 11 and 7, move in with us. Limited space for everyone’s ‘stuff’ and ‘not enough time’ to get to everything has hampered that deep-cleaning opportunity for us. This challenge is our motivator and we’re ready to get started. But not before I say that while the challenges for a household like ours are many, the blessings and memories we’re making are even greater!!

This challenge could not be happening at a better time. I woke up this morning thinking about all the things I needed to do to get ready for our new arrival(due in June) and I began to get overwhelmed. I was just sitting at work wondering where to start and then I happened to come across this blog. PERFECT! This will help me and I can blog about it on my personal blog for all of my friends and family to see. I can’t wait to go home and get started. Thank you so much!

Btw, I am still a bit confused on how to enter.

Oh, so sorry! If you go to this post: http://www.idreamofclean.net/2012/03/20/sping-cleaning-challenge-link-up-giveaway/ and then scroll all the way down to the bottom, there is a “Rafflecopter Entry Form.” There are several ways to enter…leave a comment on that post, twitter options, etc. You can also link a blog post or online photo album as an entry also. Check out the Rafflecopter and see if it makes more sense. If not, let me know and I’ll do what I can to help!

We just got the last of our new family room end tables, along with new chair, couch, home theater, hung our tv over the fireplace, painted, and got new carpet. Feels great, welcome spring! We try to start our spring cleaning over Christmas break, and usually finish up around springtime. Now we can get outside and spring clean the deck, deck furniture, yard, etc.
Thanks for this great giveaway.

Definitely joining! I was already planning to post on my blog my daughters bathroom cabinet! It’s embarrassing! She needs organization there! And I’m planning to re organize my laundry room… Maybe I will have an even better reason to do it if I win!

I am super motivated to continue my spring cleaning! I have multiple sclerosis and have recently wrapped up a series of iv steroid treatments and feel unstoppable (feux boost of energy that with time will tapper) and am using all efforts into cleaning and organizing our home. Yay! Thank you for the support!!!
