izz050709.jpg"Clean up, clean up, everbody, everywhere. Clean up, clean up, everybody do their share." A classic sing-a-long of early childhood, but in busy households it may be easier sung than done! This month we'll be blogging away on the subject of spring cleaning to help inform and inspire the parents (and kids) out there to start the summer off with a newly refreshed, organized and yes, cleaner, home.

To get things going, we've gathered up a few posts from the past and added a link to where you'll find lots more as we add to our "Clean Up Time" archive this month:

Just for the kids:

  • Chore Chart for Preschoolers
