3 Steps to Spring Clean

This post is sponsored by Charmin; however, all opinions are my own.

It’s time to get your spring cleaning done! Yes, I promise you aren’t late to the cleaning party. If you are anything like me, your schedule is crazy and kids make you constantly late. Can you really be late on Spring cleaning if it isn’t summer yet? In our house, we really have Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter “cleaning”. We like to keep everything picked up, closets cleaned out and essentials like Charmin TP, stocked up all year round. We may or may not be clean freaks over here. Here are three steps to Spring Clean that we use in the Clarke house:

Clean Out

The first step is to clean everything out. If your schedule is packed, I highly recommend going one room at a time. Clean out your closet, then your bathroom, then your bedroom, and so on. We clean out our closets and cabinets (fridge included) every quarter. We don’t like clutter and we found that we always have things that we don’t need anymore. I have never gone through our “clean out” phase and not found anything to throw away or donate. There is always something to clean out!

Clean Up

Next, clean up. Has your mail been piling up on your counter? Do you need to organize those business receipts? Do you need to actually wipe down your fridge? Clean it up. Make sure everything has a home and all spaces are clean. We also take this time to clean ceiling fans, blinds and those extra pesky baseboards. Remember, spring cleaning is a deeper clean than your normal house cleaning routine. It focuses on those areas you do “once a quarter or maybe even once a year”.

Stock Up

Then, we like to stock up on essentials for the season. We make sure we have extra shampoo, soap, sunscreen, and especially TP! And, right now, to help you stock-up for the season ahead, Charmin is offering a $3 savings on the Family Mega Roll, 24 Count of Charmin Ultra Soft Cushiony Touch Toilet Paper and Charmin Ultra Strong Clean Touch Toilet Paper. Just use promo code 3MEGACHARMIN for $3 off on Amazon (plus right now they have an additional $2 off coupon that can be applied at checkout for $5 of savings!!). We grabbed the Ultra Soft Cushiony Touch Toilet Paper, because it is irresistibly soft and has a unique cushiony touch. Did you know that 1 Charmin Family Mega Roll = 5+ Regular Rolls based on the number of sheets in Charmin Regular Roll bath tissue? That’s so much more bang for your buck!! We find that stocking up on our regular use items not only allows us to save time by being prepared, but we also save money!

That’s it, those are our 3 tips to SPRING CLEAN! They might sound simple or maybe just daunting to you, but I know for us, our life runs so much smoother when everything is in place. We have a plan and we work it to put us in the best place for family. With a picked up, clean house, fully stocked with essentials, we can conquer our days efficiently.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Charmin. The opinions and text are all mine.

  • Easy summer lunches don’t have to be complicated ☀️

This lunch took just a few minutes to put together, but the real excitement came when the kids saw their new rainbow @ahimsahomeusa mindful mealtime sets 🌈 We loved our original stainless steel sets so much that I ordered four more, and they’ve quickly become a favorite around here.

I love that they’re durable, easy to clean, and designed to grow with our family. Sometimes the simplest swaps end up being the ones you appreciate the most. 🤍

What’s your go-to easy summer lunch for the kids?

  • #Ad FrogTape reMOVEables™ helped us turn an ordinary movie night into the cutest little “Hop Into Movie Night” 🐸✨

Using @frogtaperemoveables made decorating SO easy — we used the poster strips for our Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers movie poster and wire hooks for the vines and garland around the mantel with no tools and no wall damage 🙌

The kids had the best time following the lily pad hop challenge straight to our cozy movie setup 🍿💚

  • #ad I’m constantly juggling so many schedules and lists, so I’ve been trying to create routines that feel a little more intentional instead of overwhelming ✨

Lately, I’ve been using the Pilot FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens to color-code everything from content planning to appointments and meal prep and I love how each pack creates a different vibe while I’m planning.

The DreamGlow shades instantly put me into a more creative, positive mindset when I’m brainstorming ideas, while the ZenFocus colors help me slow down, focus, and organize everything on my to-do list 💙💚

And because they’re erasable, I can adjust plans throughout the day without my planner looking chaotic by the end of it 😅

Productivity…but make it aesthetic 💕 Available at Office Depot Office Max! What’s your vibe?
