It's a perfect time to spruce up our home and garden as we spring into March. For starters, we spring forward by turning our clocks one hour forward and can finally anticipate longer days. Next on our to-do list is "spring cleaning." Start with your kitchen—in the fall we might use crock pots for warmer hardier meals—spring is a good time to put some of those away to prepare lighter meals.
Next is the closets—make sure all your winter coats and sweaters are clean and store them properly in a cool, clean, dry place so they are all ready for next winter. What is the one place that you and your family spent the most time during winter? If you’re like me, it’s time to spring everything up: Think brighter, new cushions, sweep out your fireplace if you have debris from lighting fires during this cold winter and just freshen up your surroundings.
Lastly, let’s tackle our bedroom and bathrooms. One thing to do is to go through your products that might be aged to see if it might be time to trash and refresh. Next, if you have heavier blankets on the bed, it might be time to lighten up. Oh, and my favorite thing is to start working on a spring vegetable garden—you might be surprised how many vegetables start in spring.
Remember, every day is a gift, so start your day in a positive way and make it your best. Download Kim’s podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kim-pagano-show/id508620444.
