GroundHog

It’s February 2nd and the dark days of winter are finally dwindling to a close! Every 5pm walk to the car gets brighter and brighter and our team could not be more excited!

According to America’s favorite little varmint Punxsutawney Phil, we’re looking at a quick end to winter! CNN reported, “Spring is coming! America's most iconic weather forecaster, the Pennsylvania groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, "told" this to the president of the groundhog club after not seeing his shadow at Gobbler's Knob in the town northeast of Pittsburgh. Legend dictates that if Phil doesn't see his shadow on Groundhog Day, there will be early spring like weather.”

In honor of spring coming a bit early, we want to provide you with 5 of our favorite spring cleaning tips!

1. Organizing your closet is the first step to organizing the rest of your home. Get rid of unused clothes and accessories, and organize the rest by how you get dressed in the morning and by color. Your closet will look appealing, and your everyday routine will be easier. -HouseBeautiful
2. Empty the fridge and defrost. Pull out all of the contents, tossing anything past its prime and storing the rest in a cooler. Wipe down and deodorize shelves and walls with a warm water and baking soda solution (1 tablespoon baking soda to 1 quart of water). -WomansDay
3. Clean your carpets! If your carpet requires a deep cleaning, consider hiring a pro. Inexperience with the equipment can result in over-soaking and moisture retention that can promote the growth of mildew or damage the floor underneath. -WomansDay
4. Replace Batteries You should replace the batteries in your smoke detectors every six months. Use the day you set your clocks back as a reminder, and you'll be unlikely to forget. Change the batteries again in spring, when you set your clocks ahead. -MarthaStewart
5. Do one room, even one area of one room, at a time to avoid unfinished jobs. The satisfaction of seeing one room sparkle will make the hard work feel like it's worth the effort. -StyleAtHome
