I’m doing some spring cleaning around the house. This is the first time I’ve ever done an intentional deep clean in the spring, and I am largely motivated by our time spent at a Disney World resort last week. This place is a real dump compared to Saratoga Springs!

It’s amazing how much time this takes. Yesterday was bathroom day. I was a young woman listening to the first song (Anti-Hero) on the Taylor Swift Essentials playlist when I started. By the time I finished I was nearing the end of the playlist (…Ready for It?) as an old woman. And I only have two bathrooms!

I am also appalled at how much crap we have managed to squeeze into this little house. It’s tempting to blame the kids (I threw away an awful lot of plastic junk toys this morning), but I can’t quite figure out a way to blame them for the six bottles of expired calamine lotion I discovered in the basement bathroom yesterday.
