Who doesn’t want to get outside after long winter and spring months of being stuck inside? It’s nice to get outside and see the world come alive after the winter slumber. Just being outside changes my whole mental state of mind. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably started that long list of tasks of things to do around the house for Spring, especially since we are so far behind. Whether it’s pulling out the lawn furniture or washing the windows, there are a number of tasks you can tackle or enlist help to get you, and your home prepared.

  • Clean the gutters: remove any blockages and ensure that water can flow freely.

  • These beauties are from my garden.

    Wash walls, baseboards, and outlets: eliminating dust and accumulation of grim

  • Wipe down all door handles and frames: helps to eliminate germs and dust
