One of the things that I have been looking forward to over the last year is Passover! Im excited for the holiday, but Im also thankful for the cleaning. Yes, the cleaning! I am so greatful that there is a time set aside each year that is specifically dedicated to deep cleaning my home! I cant explain how the kind of blessing this is, knowing that the rest of the year I dont have to stress, I can just do my best at that time, and be comforted by the knowledge that there will be time that I can tackle all those little things I cant do right now. I can paint the chipped doorways. I can clean my oven! Mind you, I take a month before Passover because it is still a very large job to take on.
So today I started my Passover cleaning. I started with the bedrooms. They are easy and kind of like a warm up for the rest of the house. I get really serious as I move toward the main living areas, being sure to scrub every corner (looking for leaven!). This year I made a printable checklist, which you can have also if you email me and ask for it. I think it will make things a lot easier.
I wrote about this last year, so if you havent read that, you should! My cleaning for Passover is rooted a little deeper than just a need for cleanliness. Shabbat Shalom...
