Y’all remember the tidying up book that swept our country by a storm last fall, don’t you?\u00a0 My kids, their spouses, and I all read that book<\/a>, and it made a difference in the way we live.\u00a0 Well, author Marie Kondo has written a second book called Spark Joy<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 It was released just a few weeks ago.\u00a0 My friend Beth gave a copy of it to me for my birthday, and I am thrilled.\u00a0 I am already a somewhat organized person and just soak up organization advice any time I can get it.\u00a0 The title Spark Joy<\/em> comes from the fact that Marie feels you should only own things things that give you joy.\u00a0 If they don’t “spark joy”, then they are clutter, and you should get rid of them.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0\"The<\/h3>\n

Spark Joy<\/a><\/em> goes into details about folding clothes, storage, what to do with family memorabilia, and more. It has been called an “illustrated master class in the art of organizing and tidying up.” \u00a0 I am sure we all have a box\/trunk or two of items in our basements that have been handed down from the family.\u00a0 She addresses how to deal with these items so that we aren’t loaded with guilt (and quilts).<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

If you love a good organizing book, then we recommend this one.\u00a0 Happy reading!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
