Growing up my mother’s closet was always this living organism that had a life of its own. It was either clean as a whistle or so packed with stuff you could hardly get your foot in the door.
Clothes, gifts, food,…you name it, it was in there.
The closet was always on her back burner so if she had time (which having 10 kids hardly allows), she would get to organizing it.
It was her Mount Everest, both symbolically and literally when the piles got out of control.
We all knew she hid chocolate in there so we would often take on the quest to find it but would never come out victorious.
It must be inherited because I have the same struggle with my closet. I just can’t get a handle on it.
And yes, I also have chocolate in mine. I purge it every couple of months so I’m not sure how there’s anything left in there.
Last week I was having a “Does it spark joy?” episode and donated about 30 skirts to Goodwill.
I know that makes me sound like a clothes hoarder…because I am. I still have clothes from high school.
