The Magical Obsessiveness of Tidying Up

I just read the book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing on my Kindle, and this is what it has brought me to.

First photo: the girl's top drawer with shirts, undies, socks, and pants.  The book even tells you HOW TO FOLD THINGS, and I also watched a video on Youtube about it.

And the second photo: the boy's middle drawer of jammies, socks, a row of undies, and his swim stuff on the right.

I have to admit, I'm really enjoying folding stuff, and the boy has even tried it.  For the past few weeks he's demanded to help fold with our MiracleFold Junior Size Clothes Folder, but now he sees me folding without it and has tried to fold free-style as well.

(Now that, my less positive self says, is a child who is desperate to spend time with his mother.)

Fashion Advice from Lane

Turn your pants inside out, pull your Hello Kitty socks on, and step into your plastic Sofia heels.
Then strike a pose with candy canes.
