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.

ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend!
Haven't thought about Christmas, still mourning summer!
ReplyDeleteOff to baby shower in Iowa, roadtrip!
Enjoy your weekend
Glad my shopping is all done because it does look like it's gonna be rough for retailers and shipping companies this season. Have a great weekend everybody!
