Are you a parent of a toddler struggling to keep your home tidy, feeling overwhelmed by clutter, or simply wishing you had more time and energy for the things that matter most?

It’s challenging to juggle your family’s needs, your own, and a tidy home.

But what if I told you that there’s an easier way?

A way to simplify your everyday to regain time and peace of mind — all while raising a happy, secure toddler?

Introducing Tidy Toddlers

Tidy Toddlers is a step-by-step programme to help you simplify your home and your family life. It is based on Japanese tidying, namely the KonMari method, and inspired by my own experience raising two toddlers.

Tidy Toddlers isn’t about making your child put away their toys or help with household tasks. It’s about empowering you as a parent to simplify your environment and guide them to build, from an early age, a different relationship with objects so that taking care of them doesn’t feel like a chore, but a natural and positive habit.

It’s about creating physical, mental, and schedule space to align your daily life with your family values.

Who is it for?

Tidy Toddlers is specifically designed for parents of toddlers who are trying to juggle it all: career, family, household, friends, hobbies…

It’s for you if:

  • You love the idea of a tidy, calm home but struggle to find the time, energy, or effective methods to make it happen.
  • You’re constantly tidying up. Children should play and make a mess, but you can’t stand your living room permanently looking like a playground.
  • You’re also sick of being the only one who seems to notice or care about the state of your home. It’s so frustrating!
  • You wish you could delegate tasks but don’t know how. You know nagging doesn’t work though.
  • You long for a simpler, more manageable home life, where you can finally slow down.

What you will get from the programme

Being a parent is tough, but tidying will make it that bit easier.

Tidy Toddlers helps you achieve:

  • More time, space, and calm: Free yourself from the constant clutter cycle and enjoy a home that’s easy to tidy (think: reset in just 10 minutes). Spend more quality time with your family and less time tidying and cleaning. Give yourself the luxury of slowing down.
  • A routine that works for your family: Develop a simple, effective tidying routine that fits your family’s unique needs, teaches children to take responsibility for their belongings, and lets you confidently delegate tasks to your partner, children, or other members of your household.
  • Greater confidence and ease: Gain clarity and confidence in making decisions, from letting go of “just in case” items (read: clutter) to gracefully handling incoming items, including unwanted gifts. Feel empowered to create a home and family life that brings you joy.
  • Stronger family connections: Create a space that everyone appreciates and cares for, improving relationships, reducing stress, and promoting quality family time.
  • Mindful consumption habits: Save money and lighten your family’s carbon footprint by changing how you shop.

The story behind Tidy Toddlers

Yuri Saito profile photoHi, I’m Yuri 👋  I’m a Japanese tidying consultant and mum of two toddlers.

I’m in the thick of motherhood — navigating sleepless nights, big emotions, childcare woes, and the constant juggling act of raising little ones.

But early on, I realised I didn’t feel quite as overwhelmed as other mums around me. It wasn’t because I had some secret parenting formula or a superpower for endless patience. Far from it.

The difference was a tidy home.

  • Our space is clutter-free, simple and calm. The kids have room to play and enough toys to keep them engaged, but not so many that they (or I) feel overwhelmed.
  • Moreover, from very early on, they’ve learned to take care of their belongings and to let go of things they no longer use.
  • But more importantly, this approach has given me the mental space to be present with my children. I can slow down, connect with them, and enjoy the small moments.
  • I’ve even found time for things that other mums tell me feel impossible, like baby sign language or reusable nappies. These things aren’t just “extras” in our lives; they’re reflections of our values.

Tidying isn’t just about having a clean, organised home. It’s about deciding what truly matters to you and letting go of everything else. From physical objects to activities to rituals — it’s your role as a parent to create an environment that reflects your family values.
