Spring Cleaning

I am actually looking forward to doing some spring cleaning next week. I am most interested in creating a more tranquil and relaxing environment for myself and my son.

My first step is to declutter, declutter and, well, declutter. Maybe I don't have that much decluttering to do -- just need to better organized my "stuff."

I am proud of myself for tackling the vast majority of my clutter and for understanding why my apartment looks like a paper tornado swept through.

I normally put things off whenever I am stressed or overwhelmed. So that magazine that I've been meaning to read ends up sitting on my kitchen table for at least a month or those personal finance articles that have been sitting around for much longer.

Not sure what's left to do once I declutter. It's still a bit chilly in New York which means candles are still in season. I love candles but feel odd about burning them in the middle of summer so I try to switch things up by buying fresh flowers instead.

That said, I am looking forward to burning a candle tonight as I just want to sit and bask in its warm glow. Sometimes it's the littlest things that matter most.
