5 minute life changers: That ONE perfect drawer.

September 26, 2020August 18, 2022 Posted in Family life, Living calmer - get organised, Living simpler

Keeping one drawer perfect, is a sanity saver. When the kids have just drawn on the walls and are now hanging off the lightshade and the dog just puked. That is when you can look into your perfect drawer, for the 15th time and take 4 deep breathes. B r e a t h e and compose.

My cutlery drawer is my one area that I am almost OCD about. You can see in my photo that things are not perfectly aligned, but it is close to a perfect little world in there.

If all else has gone crazy, I can open that drawer and feel that it is going to be ok...! It also helps me chill out about all the other drawers that are unlikely to be anywhere near tidy until I have been retired for at least 10 years.

Choose a drawer in your home and give it thought and love and create your own little zone of perfection. My perfect drawer has been getting me through house moves, renovations, 4 kids, and dog puke.

Here at Into the Clearing you can find my healthy recipes and my articles about living simpler and slower. Life doesn't have to be a chaotic race. I live with my family in Australia but we are in the process of moving back to Sweden. We have also lived in Asia, which was fantastic. Hard to get over. While raising our four children I focussed on making home cozy but also very functional so it would be calm. A lot of moves across suburbs, states and countries forces you to be even more serious about these things. You need to travel light but you need your kids to feel at home. I hope that when you visit Into The Clearing you find ideas to make a home that is a haven. A calendar that isn't manic. And food that is going to nourish your body and gut.
