Marie Kondō’s method really has been magical. I’m ridding my home of anything that doesn’t “spark joy.”
So far I’m down one washing machine, one vacuum, and a husband.

Hugged my toddler + said thank you then considered donating him since he did not bring me joy last night. Am I taking this #MarieKondo thing too far?

Me: This tidying up thing is a pretty good trend.

Also me: Oh, look, it’s the dollar bin at Target. I’m sure there’s something here the kids will love.

Just had a big argument w my teenager. According to @MarieKondo and #TidyingUp, I should now hold her, ask if she still brings me joy, and, if the answer is no, get rid of her. Hmmm

Marie Kondo: Do these spark joy?

Me: They do not

Marie Kondo: Then they must go

Me: Bye kids

Does the whole Marie Kondo philosophy of “if when you hold it and it doesn’t bring you joy, throw it out” apply to your kids who are screaming at you because you told them to get off the PlayStation? #AskingForAFriend

Marie Kondo: Does this bring you joy?

Kid: *grabbing piece of literal garbage* I’M SAVING IT FOR A CRAFT

Friend who just discovered KonMari: “You only keep the things that spark joy.”

Me: *using a literal snow shovel to get my kids’ toys back in the toybox* Uh huh.

Marie Kondo: "The 1st step is to put all your clothes in a pile."
My kids: "We're way ahead of you."

Watched that Marie Kondo show and now I have to decide how much joy an old melon baller brings me and most of my clothes are being thrown away.
