Did you know March 27th kicks off National Cleaning Week?

The tradition of spring cleaning comes from many different cultures, including Jewish, Iranian, and Chinese, and goes back centuries. Scientists have also speculated that the urge to be more active comes from the natural reduction of melatonin in our systems caused by the return of the sun. Check below for spring-related crafts and a spring cleaning workshop!
