I quarterly clean! With a 3-year-old daughter, a baby boy, a dog, and a sports-loving husband, I have to! I empty closets, clean junk drawers and even alphabetize movies! Somehow, it keeps getting unorganized! Someone around here has to do it.
I don't do a real extensive spring clean. I go through closets and switch out all the winter clothes/gear for spring/summer stuff. I also make piles of stuff to give away to thrift shops, or through other avenues.
I clean the house more thoroughly I suppose at the beginning of each season, that way I can put things away from the season before and get ready for the next!
Yes, I spring clean. I don't have the time to do regular cleaning as thoroughly as I would like, but when I do something, I like to take the time to do it right and spring cleaning is no exception. It is a chance to not only clean my home but to refresh every room by de-cluttering and changing out accessories to suit the season. Every drawer and closet is scanned for things with expired dates, items not used anymore, grown out of, you get the picture. These items are then either sold or donated to Goodwill. When I am done the house is lighter and brighter and a more zen place to live.
We're part way through our first Spring cleaning in a while and we realize it must be done every year. It is hard to believe the amount of stuff accumulated!
I just finished cleaning two closets. This past week I rearranged my living room and cleaned behind all the furniture. Whew! Cleaning in spring is a family tradition. Not only that, but after months and months of winter snow and ice, I love to smell all the aromas from Mother Earth as she wakes to a new season.
I'm trying to spring clean. I am trying to tackle the house one task at a time starting with the things that really bug me. My goal is really have done some good cleaning and and decluttering while it is still spring.
I do deep cleaning not in the Spring, but whenever I can find a good chunk of time. Having a special time, like Spring, just seems like too much pressure to me.
Diabetics can eat sandwiches with low-carb bread and small amounts of pasta. I don't actually eat these things anymore, but it was just an example. I'm not here to tell people exactly how to live their lives.
I used to spring clean, but now with a new baby in the house, I don't think we'll get around to it this year. Might have to be a summer cleaning - before she starts toddling.
I do not - I have a cleaning lady every other week and so i don't get a build up of dirty places. clutter is another thing i keep pretty much on top of. my regular seasonal chores are at xmas and easterish when i rotate decor and clothes. as i do that i go thru the stuff in the storage room etc. and take loads to goodwill.
We do try to spring clean some - primarily to declutter. But lately we have been trying to declutter throughout the year so that the spring cleaning job is not so massive. The key is to not go to too many garage sales and buy other people's clutter. :)
I sure do. In fact, I'm just taking a break from it now. I am taking down and washing or putting away winter curtains and drapes and washing all the windows inside and out. That's just today. Whew! I need this break.

i usually do but not this year. going to move later this year so might as well leave it until then!

Living debt free does not remove the need to plan a budget and prepare for the future.
I currently use a laptop. I recently sold my desktop... it was collecting dust. It's all about portability and space.

Uh, no, wish I could lie and say I do, but I hate housecleaning, so I don't.
I plan to spring clean but it never really happens beyond rounding up junk for the annual spring yard sale.

That picture of a cup of coffee looks like it's taken from the movie 'The Green Hornet'.
I spring clean by throwing stuff away. As soon as the weather starts getting nice, I get the urge to rid myself of clutter.
I actually haven't experienced this at all - I would talk to your doctor about it to make sure that your nighttime blood sugar levels aren't too high.

It depends on what time of day you are taking it.

I try to keep mine between 80-110, but that's just me.
I try my best to keep my house clean throughout the year, but with fresh spring breezes, it is nice to air out the place!

yes- somewhat. I do tons of purging for spring cleaning!

I was able to fold a dollar eight times. Difficult, but not impossible.
