Tidying guru Marie Kondo says that after having three children, she too has given up on keeping her house spotless.

"Up until now, I was a professional tidier, so I did my best to keep my home tidy at all times," Kondo said at a recent webinar, per The Washington Post.

"I have kind of given up on that in a good way for me. Now I realize what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home," she added.
