I needed help preparing our small apartment for the arrival of baby 2. Hilda helped turn what would have been a very overwhelming task into an enjoyable one. Using the KonMari method, we decluttered and organized one category at a time. I am so grateful to have found her!
Each time she came and left I felt a sense of accomplishment and relief. And was able to enjoy my space and feel that much more ready to welcome baby. Her gentle listening approach also made me feel a complete partner in the decluttering process.
For each possession type (clothing, toiletry, food, paper, sentimental) we took everything out to be sorted at once. We sorted into categories to keep, to keep for a limited time, to purge/give away. She even went the extra mile to bring some items to the thrift store for me, with my consent, so they wouldn't just sit in my entryway waiting to leave.
Overall I grew in my ability to consciously consider the possessions I bring into my home. A must for those of us trying to live in small spaces and with a positive benefit to our mental health, and bank account. I was able to release gifts that had been given to us, but were not sparking joy, without guilt. It helped me clarify how to ask for/decline gifts or even useful items people wanted to pass on, but I didn't love or need (especially with kids, this happens often). It even affected my purchasing habits, as I was more aware of how a "good buy" is not really a good buy unless it adds value to the life we intend to live.
