Spring Cleaning? What's that!?

Good afternoon!
Can you relate to the above pictures at all?  Whew I can.  I totally am overwhelmed by my house right now.  I have let it go a little too long without deep cleaning and I feel like now its going to take a whole 40 hour week to get it the way I want it.  I actually told Andy the other day that moving would probably just be easier at this point.  Kidding.  But kind of serious.

I don't know how some people do it.  I praise the single moms that can do it all, or the family with 4 children and a spotless home, or the person who is constantly working and gets home late but still...perfection.  You should see my mom and Dave's home.  It looks like it could be a model home.  I strive for this.  I always have the best intentions.  I make my lists and decide what I am going to do.  But then 6pm rolls around, I get home and eat dinner and its time to get Jackson ready for bed.  And all my plans go out the window.

Being an only child and currently grand child on one side, Jackson is SPOILED.  Like beyond belief.  One day I sent a picture to a guy at work to show what I was watching.  And all he could focus on was the mounds of toys in the picture.  Our house is ran by toys and Jackson's things.  As my sister always says "It's Jackson's world and we are all just living in it."  So one of my goals is to get this under control.  I used to keep everything he had outgrown because one day there might be another or someone can use it.  But 4 years later I think its time to purge.  I am looking for a good place to donate toys.  Like Riley Hospital maybe?  Since I was a Riley baby I would love to do something like that but I need to figure out what they take.  This is the big project I want to get done.  But really the whole house needs a purge and a deep clean.

I have a Groupon for a cleaning service.  Which I am sure most of you are thinking why I haven't used it.  But I feel like it needs to be semi clean before they come clean.  Then they can do the deep clean. I know weird.

So I need help with motivation.  And how to tackle this without being swallowed by it all.  Any tips or tricks or organization solutions are welcome!
