I glanced at my calendar this morning and realized the first official day of spring is rapidly approaching.  To some that may mean colorful flowers, warmer weather, or even the beginning of baseball season.  But to others, “spring” conjures up images of dustpans, mops, and brooms…while we’re at it, throw in some closet organizers, playroom storage, and shoe racks.  That’s right, my friends – spring cleaning is upon us.

Wikipedia defines spring cleaning as the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime.  The practice of spring cleaning is especially prevalent in climates with a cold winter.  The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring, hence the name.  However it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organizing enterprise.

The mopping, scrubbing, and vacuuming is pretty darn boring so let’s talk about the F-U-N stuff…genius organizing ideas.  Like millions of others (you’re probably included) I’ve become Pinterest obsessed.  Here are a few of my fave organizing tips and ideas that I have come across.
