Spring is coming, I promise!

I know that it can be hard to think of spring being just around the corner with all this crazy winter weather lately, but it will be here before you know it.  And with spring is the time for fresh beginnings and starting new.  With that comes all the tasks to get your house wake your home out of its deep winter slumber and back ready for life to begin.  

Spring cleaning 

1. Now's the time to clean out those closets. It can be daunting, but if you take one closet per day at a time, you will feel incredibly accomplished!

2. Wash your windows.  All the dirt and muck from the winter is stuck there.  Get it off!

3. Wash and clean out your car.

4. Replace burnt out light bulbs 5, and scrub the house from top to bottom.

Outdoors

1. Replace outdoor bulbs

2. Clean and spruce up your front door- give it a new coat of paint to make it stand out from the curb!

3. Repair front walkway or steps- if there has been any damage now is the time to patch cracks or even power wash.

4. Plant new flowers and foliage-sometimes the best way to cover or hide parts of the exterior of you home you don't like is with beautiful plants or shrubs.

5. Prune dead plants and branches, clean out flower beds and re-mulch.

6. Freshen up that outdoor furniture- give that tired looking backyard furniture a fresh coat of spray paint and replace the cushions.

7. Keep the doorways and steps clean- tighten railings, make sure to clean out cobwebs, leaves, and any pine needles or extra little critter nests lurking in corners.

8. Clean and have your gutters inspected. This can save you a lot of money on repairs in the long run!

So, in the spirit of warmer weather, everyone get out there and get ready for beautiful Texas spring weather!
