***Disclosure: This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.*** Okay, I feel silly saying this since there is currently a blizzard going on here in Ohio, but it's time for Spring Cleaning. Yep. Time to open up the windows, let the fresh air in, and get to scrubbing everything in sight. Unless you're here...Then you might want to keep your windows shut. It's unbelievably cold out right now! (Yes, I am griping. I am ready for spring already!) Anyway, with 2 preschoolers, a messy teenage boy, a husband who is even MORE messy, 4 cats and 3 dogs, there is definitely a lot of cleaning to be done on a daily basis, spring or not. The house, and my babies' bottoms. Pampers wants to help make spring cleaner gentler and easier than ever with their Sensitive wipes. We love these wipes, and use them frequently. While I love my cloth diapers, we never really caught on to cloth wipes. That was a bit more ick than we wanted to have to deal with. So Pampers wipes have been our go-to for quite a long time now. They are extremely gentle on the skin unlike some other wipes, and have never irritated my kids' skin. They really do provide a gentle clean. I received a promotional package of products from Pampers to help make spring cleaning a bit more bearable. Included were some of my current favorites, like the Swiffer Wet Jet and Olay Quench lotion! Also included were some great cleaning gloves, a portable caddy and of course, Pampers Sensitive Wipes! Rather than keep the package for myself, I decided to give the gift of clean to a young, single mom I know. She got the caddy full of products as well as a $50 gift card to help with the cost of her baby's diapers and baby food. She was so surprised to receive this gift, and actually started crying. (I love this part of my job...I love having the opportunity to help people out!) Connect With Pampers! You can learn more about Pampers on their website.

I tackle spring cleaning by getting organized! I do a thorough spring cleaning, so I spread it out over a week. I clean a different room each day from top to bottom!

This has been a weird winter here in the South. Spring cleaning is not going to be easy!! My husband and I have started doing what we can inside, and it looks like it won't be too long before we can open the house up and start airing the house some and doing the windows. The windows is his job. I can't stand doing the windows!!

I tackle spring cleaning one room at a time... and I try to start with the room I dread the most. Spend a day or two cleaning it completely and then move on. I get rid of stuff we haven't used the past 6-12 months.. some of it I donate, some is trashed, some is put aside for a yard sale. And I wipe everything down.

I start with the living room and then move on from there. Tear each room apart then dust, wash the walls, and last shampoo all the carpets. it's a lot of work for sure, but feels great when I get it all done.
