March Home Tasks to Welcome the Changing Season
March offers a fresh start as spring rolls in. I love a seasonal change within the home because it allows me to see my hot through a fresh perspective. I like taking time to see what is working within my home, what isn’t working, or what needs replaced. This list of March home tasks will allow you to take inventory of your home and chores, and to welcome the season with grace within your home.

What is Seasonal Homemaking?
Seasonal homemaking is the practice of adjusting rhythms of household management, decorations, and routines with the seasons of the year. I wanted to provide this resource every month because I find that homemaking can become simpler if we find seasonal rhythms.
There are a lot of different requirements throughout the year to keep a home functional and running smoothly. I will be offering monthly prompts, such as Organize, Update, Replace, and Clean, and then offer ideas of implementing these, plus extra ideas on how to spread these throughout the year .
The Joy of Seasonal Change
A changing season within the home doesn’t have to be a stressful thing. It can actually be exciting as you look through your home with fresh eyes and a new vigor to savor the season. This can come through in new decor, new meal ideas, fresh candles or linens. There is so much joy to take in as the season shifts.
I hope these ideas leave you feeling encouraged and inspired as you fluff your nest this March!

February Homemaking Tasks to Refresh Your Home for Spring
1. Declutter
Decluttering in March is extra nice because you can declutter as you organize and go through your winter things to put away for Spring.
I like to put all the winter things in piles, like decor and clothes, and make a keep and donate pile. This makes it very simple to then put away what you want to keep, but also take an inventory of what you need to plan to buy next year. Now is a grid time to pull up your Notes app on your phone or keep a notebook of “Things to Buy” and add items, such as new gloves, hats, or coats to your list as you donate and organize.
2. Organize:
Next, choose ONE area for this month to organize.
Ideas for this are:
- Organize Bathrooms: Clear out unused items and make a list of things to replace or add to your bathrooms.
- Organize Winter Items: Take the time to organizes those winter items that you are putting away for next year, so that you don’t poll out a big mess next winter.
- Books: Take inventory of books and put them in the order they belong.
2. Update:
Choose ONE area or item to update.
Ideas for this are:
- Home Linens: This could be tablecloths, curtains, or possibly cloth napkins for Spring colors.
- Sheets: Swap for lighter sheets for the warmer weather.
4. Replace:
Choose ONE area or item to replace.
Ideas for this are:
- Shower Curtain Liners
- Furniture that is worse for the wear

5. Deep Clean:
Choose ONE area or item to deep clean. These are areas that are often-neglected and don’t typically get a lot of attention.
Ideas for this are:
- Grout: Scrub and steam the grout in your home.
- Porch: Spray it off on a warm day and scrub away the winter dirt.
- Curtains: Wash all the curtains for a fresh home.
6. Meal Plan for March
Take a Sunday afternoon to plan the meals out for the whole month. This will help you so much and will be a brain-saver all month long.
Consider including some new recipes, drinks, and treats to try this month! I have recipe ideas on my Pinterest.
8. Add Spring into Your Home
Now that you have your home feeling clean and organized, you can think about the upcoming seasonal change and do some space refreshing.
Ideas for this are:
- Add a new wreath to your front door.
- Bring a few new house plants.
- Swap out your dishes for something that is brighter or spring patterned.
7. Prep Your Outdoor Spaces
Spring brings the wonderful option of outdoor living! Eating and entertaining outdoors is so much fun, so prep your outdoor spaces.
- Clean the porch.
- Power wash the deck.
