I am sooooooooo excited about this!!!
Beginning Monday, April 1st and throughout the month of April, we're starting Passionate Penny Pincher's BE AWESOME IN APRIL CHALLENGE, which means you and I are going to get control of our home, cooking, cleaning and decluttering every single day this month!
WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! 🙂
(Can you tell I'm just a wee bit tickled?)
If you struggle with cleaning your home, finding time to exercise, creating order in your space and getting dinner done, this Spring Cleaning Challenge is just for you. Make sure to enter this happy little giveaway daily if you do decide to join us! The good news is, even if you can only join us for a few days of the challenge – you can still win (your house and family win, too!).
If you have the Passionate Penny Pincher 2024 Home Planner, this is the perfect time to pull it out, and get ready to mark off your to do list each day. Together we'll care for our homes beautifully this month ~ just in time for Spring! And, if you don't have the Home Planner you can follow along for a few days with our free Daily Cleaning Checklist
To get us all started and motivated, this month we will focus heavily on our homes each day (and then stick with it all month. I know you can do this!)
Spring Cleaning Challenge
Here's what I'm challenging you to join me in each day:
1. Commit to “A-” work in your home each day 🙂 that includes:
- Exercise
- Making beds
- Starting laundry
- Cleaning bathroom sink as needed
- Plan/prep dinner
- Wash/put away dishes
- Clean kitchen counters
- Wipe down kitchen sink
- Tidy Main living space
2. Exercise
We'll be doing an “Add 5K Steps a Day” April Steps Challenge using the Stepbet App and would love for you to join us! More details HERE!
You can commit to any type of exercise that works for you, but I'd sure love for you to commit to this with me each day!
3. Tackle at least ONE item on your Spring Cleaning Checklist each week throughout the month. Here are a few examples:
- FAMILY ROOM – deep vacuum couch, vents and baseboards
- KITCHEN deep clean sink, faucet and small appliances
- BATHROOM deep clean toilets (we might even make some homemade soap scum remover!)
- BEDROOM launder all bedding and spring clean mattress
- FRONT OR BACK PORCH – clean grill and/or furniture on porch
If you want to take it a step further, we'd love for you to also join us in our Decluttering Challenge! These tasks are simple daily tasks that should take no longer than 30 minutes a day. But, can still be done if you only have an extra 5-10 minutes. The difference will be oh-so-worth it!
Will you join me?
To sign up, go HERE and I'll send you your completely free checklist and schedule for the month. You can also use your 2024 Home Planner or Daily Checklists to join in the fun!
I promise, we're going to make cleaning FUN and totally take back control of our homes this month ~ I can't wait to get started! 🙂
Note: the schedule is based on how I personally tackle our day, and you may need to tweak it for you. This is just a guideline to help us with an easy starting point!
Looking for an easy way to keep up with your home? ….Keep Reading!

PI just have to share that I love my 2022 PPP Planner. I purchased 2021 and loved it so much that I purchased 2022. I finally have planner peace. I’ve used so many planners and this is my favorite. Loving this planner so much made me think about the menu plans. So, I first purchased the slowcooker menu plan and LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I use is all the time. That led me to purchase I think all of them.
I really like what you are doing here.
Mary ~ PPP Team says
That makes me SOOO happy Kelly! 🙂 Thanks for your kind words and for supporting Passionate Penny Pincher – it means so much!
