When a baby comes into your life, the last thing that you are going to have time for is cleaning and re-cleaning the house. You are going to be tired, and I’ll add in just a dash of feeling shattered physically, energetically and mentally, it comes with the occupational hazard of being a parent! Opps! The last thing I want you to worry about is taking care of your house.
Therefore, you need a system of tidiness in place that works so well, that it will permanently stay that way, even when your kids come, in fact, it could be something that you could educate your kids about from the get-go when they’re a little older! How cool!
If you don’t believe me, as I personally didn’t, KonMari your house before your baby arrives months before, and just see how fantastic it is for just you and your partner/husband alone.
Not to mention the amount of energy it is going to save you during your pregnancy, which is when you’re gonna want to nest, rest and digest. But, with the thought of the baby coming and all, it’s unlikely that you’re going to get a full nesting period if you feel like the house is not in order, especially if you already got a toddler in the house! Eliminate that as a potential worrisome thing because you totally have control over it. I guarantee that it will monumentally change the way you buy baby clothes or organize your nursery too – every KonMari practice has monumental impacts outside the actual confines of the book!
