"Just whistle while you work, and cheerfully together......."
Well, maybe the word cheerful is not quite the right one here. Even though the song means for us to be happy about cleaning, the message does not appear to have inspired anyone in the SOUP offices to smile this month. As soon as we mentioned this month's theme, our delicate animal ears were met with the rumble of groans.
Surprisingly though, our idea worked after a while and the winner of our Spring Cleaning vs. Laziness debate was clearly on the more energetic side. Many of our writers chose to shake off the winter slouches and get to work. So why not read on to find out what they got up to?
Before you get inspired to do a deep clean of that overstuffed cupboard you've been ignoring for months, yes THAT cupboard you might want to fuel up on some sugar with Momma Fox in this month's Recipe Box. She has a wonderful sweet treat for you to enjoy. Once you're all powered up, why don't you head over to Puzzling Things and see what devilish task Erin as come up with for you this time? If that's not your style though, you can always take a wander over to our lazy book corner and see what our resident Hobbit has been diving into in this month's Book Club. Wherever you end up, you're sure to find something to motivate your mood, so happy reading!
Does anyone know a spell, other than a bubblehead charm that is, to mask or eliminate the smell of cleaning solutions? Some of our writers were a bit overly enthusiastic with their 'spring cleaning' vibes and it's starting to burn my poor nose. *cough* Not that I'm not grateful for a clean cleaner than before office space. I'd say it's time for some fresh air and sunshine for all of us. Now where are those cute, little, fuzzy ducks hiding?
So why not head on over and check out our newest edition of SOUP where you can come and contemplate the coming of Spring and what it means for you and your home. Will you get busy and breathe new life into your every day or will you bury your head in the sand and ignore that huge pile of chores that you know you should be doing? Don't forget to swing by the Common Room and let us know. We want to hear from you!
