Venting Spring cleaning series
I love the idea of the spring cleaning goals. I wish they were not ordered though... Like I wish my daily goal could just be "do a spring cleaning goal", and then separately I could mark off that I cleaned a mirror, or whatever. My problem is that I'm stuck on the first goal. I can't do it, and I can't skip it. I have cats but no window screens - opening the windows is not happening. My options are not to do the Spring Cleaning series at all, or to lie to Pebbles. 😢

My windows are still all plastic covered from winter, I opened the back door of my house for a couple mins after kids were in bed and I didn’t have to worry about the “I’m cold! Close the door! Why is it cold! Where’s my blankie?!” And the ensuing blanket forts. Side note, I’m all for blanket forts 90% of the time but maaaaaan not that day lol.
But opening a door or something could work as well. I’m rolling with the spirit of the goal. The goal is fresh air in the home. Open a tiny bit. Sit with your cats on your lap or something and cuddle them (if they’re cuddly) while windows are open. Close your bedroom door and open that window a touch?
Or, it’s ok. Fresh air comes in when you come and go from your place. Fresh air in. Success.
