Ep 7. Episode 7

In this episode of Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, we meet the Darcy family, consisting of parents Margie and Kevin, and their three children. They have a busy lifestyle and struggle to keep their house organized and clutter-free. The clutter is causing arguments and a lack of harmony in their home, so they have turned to Marie Kondo for help.

Upon arrival, Marie Kondo observes the home and the family's daily life. She notes the clutter and disorganization in every room, which is making it difficult for the family to find items they need and causing stress. Marie sits down with the family and discusses their goals, hopes, and dreams, which will help guide them in organizing their home.

Together, Margie, Kevin, and their children go through the process of tidying up using Marie Kondo's KonMari Method. They start with their clothes, and Marie shows them how to fold them properly so that they can see everything they own. The family members sort through their clothing, deciding what clothes they want to keep and what they can let go of. This process is repeated with all the other categories of items in their home, including books, papers, and sentimental items.

Throughout the episode, Marie focuses on helping the family to identify what items bring them joy and which ones they should let go of. It is not an easy process, particularly for sentimental items and childhood memories. However, with her gentle guidance and encouragement, the family is able to make progress.

As the family declutters and organizes their home, they begin to feel a sense of joy and lightness. Marie emphasizes that everything in our home should have a purpose and be treasured, and this philosophy resonates with the Darcy family. As they come closer to the end of their journey, the family members are better equipped to maintain their home and resist the urge to accumulate clutter.

Throughout the episode, we see the family members grow closer and more harmonious as they work together towards their shared goal. Marie Kondo helps them to not only organize their home but also deepen their relationships with one another. The episode ends with the family reflecting on how their home is transformed and how tidying up can have an impact beyond just physical clutter.

In Episode 7 of Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, we are reminded that a tidy home can lead to a more harmonious life and deeper relationships with the people we love. The Darcy family's journey is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of tidying up.
