The choices for floral picks are almost endless now, and they really can completely transform the look of your tree.

I love to put together these lists of what to clean each month because they make the whole process of keeping on top of cleaning around the house so much less overwhelming.I pick ten items that are perfect to do at exactly this time of year, so we’re doing just the right thing at the right time and not wasting time on things that don’t need to be done yet, or that we’ll end up having to re-do in a month or two.
