Tidy Up for PCS with the KonMari Method

by Sarah Peachey | Apr 28, 2019 | Experience, Household 6, PCS

If you’ve paid any attention to social media over the last few months, then you’ve probably seen numerous references to the Netflix show “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.”

And with good reason.

The KonMari Method, developed by Marie Kondo when she was a 19-year-old college student, is a helpful way to get a room or your entire house in order.

Less is More: Discovering Decluttering

by Retired Blogger | Jul 5, 2015 | Blog, Experience, Household 6

About halfway through unpacking the endless boxes, I find I’m perfectly happy with how the house looks. Closets have clothes, but aren’t overflowing, shelves have stuff but aren’t packed to the brim, cupboards have items but with plenty of space. At this point, I’m done.
