Spring Official Starts March 20th! Time for Spring Cleaning!

Welcome to Spring!

"Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's Party!' "
- Robin Williams

Call it a time of renewal, rebirth and regrowth, Spring officially started on March 20th. It's a great time of year to focus on one thing: Decluttering! I'm sure you've heard the term "spring cleaning". Did you know that the term was specifically chosen for March since it is typically warm enough to open all of the windows and doors, but not warm enough for insects to be a nuisance? Spring cleaning means just that - it's time to thoroughly clean your home and prepare it for the warmer months. For us at EMPOWER! Professional Organizing, it's a time for us to help you declutter, organize, and create spaces that help you feel situated in your home and office. As you engage in your spring cleaning exercises, we hope you'll contact us to help. Happy Spring! Jessica Elix, Owner
