If I really tried the Marie Kondo method of decluttering by getting rid of anything in my house that doesn’t spark joy I’d end up only left with my dogs, my phone and a large bottle of gin.

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

So if my kid's toys don't spark joy when I trip over them, that means I can throw them out without thanking them, right? #mariekondo

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
