Oh my sweet T! Our family doesn't get Netflix so we have never seen an episode of "Tidying Up," BUT I showed T a home video of a family with kids sorting their toys using the KonMari method. T was hooked! She and Brandon spent a long time going through her things and figuring out what doesn't bring her joy. We used the phrase "bring her joy" vs "spark joy." Since her first sort she has gone through her room many times. While she continues to get rid of things, she is no longer organized in what she has and her shelves and room are back to the chaos of usual. She has also tried to get rid of markers and colored pencils, cash, and things she just got for Christmas. It is a tricky line. We are so thankful for all of the junk she purged. Let me assure you that we took as much as possible to a resale shop as quickly as possible so that she wouldn't back down on her ideas.

T: Do you love my fancy bed?

| T: Everything is organized and beautiful! |

| T: This side of the room is too! |

| T: Check out all the stuff that doesn't bring me joy! |
