Warm Weather Hygge

By definition, hygge (hooga) according to the Denmark website is about "taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures."   There's a fun little book I read on vacation back in 2018 called The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and I loved it so much, I bought one as soon as I got back.  There was actually nothing more relaxing than reading that little book curled up on the couch in the sunroom with a cup of tea and is one of my favorite memories of that trip.

What I'm Reading This Week #6

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you had a great week and are ready to boogie down this weekend.  Thankfully, my hamster wheel came in handy around 4am yesterday when I remembered I had my coworker lunch Monday when we scheduled to sign the contract on the other side of town.  I sent the woman an email and we'll sign the contract Tuesday.  Whew!!  I can imagine myself in a cold sweat when I remembered on the day.  (Probably when I got a call from them when they got home.  I so rarely have stuff to plan around!)

But enough of my scatterbrain, let's get to...

  2. Great articles! I work today and have a hair appt tomorrow. We think the hubs is off of work, so that would be great. We're going to a different grocery store that is insanely busy but they have anything and everything and are so much cheaper than the other stores in town. So it'll be good to stock up on some essentials. I'll get the final tax stuff together and will have some play time with the pups.
    Have a super weekend!
