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. Many tend to associate this practice in the cooler months of Fall and Winter because it tends to focus on the act of being cozy.  Snuggling under a blanket, enjoying a warm, healing cup of tea by the fireplace (or fireplace on TV ), lighting a favorite candle while doing a calming hobby like cross stitch or scrapbooking.  Being a hyggephant, I can tell you that I never associated warm wea...

Whizzing Weekend Recap

Top o' the Monday to you all!  Did you have a bitchin' weekend?  Do people still say bitchin'?  Nevermind, I know the answer to that and I don't care how old it makes me sound... I'm bringing it back.  

Did you get into any adventures this weekend?  When we finally got out of the house on Saturday we went for a drive.



We checked to see if there were any caches where we ended up and there were a few so we got to get a few more under our belts.

Is it me or did the weekend whiz by?  Speaking of whizzing:


You just never know what you're going to stumble upon when you go geocaching and if you're going to have the coolyons to wee at a PARK in public, I'm gonna document it since you're on public property and clearly a schmuck with no couth.  

We did find a fun one at a DMV.


Love it when people get creative and much more fun to find.  It was in need of a little maintenance so I was able to get in my caching bag and grab some small baggies I keep on hand for damaged log bags and such.  (The kind big enough for a pair of Etsy earrings or something.)  I also make sure I've got some tweezers on hand because it seems like every cache these days are micros/nanos.  When we made it back home, we finished up Ted Lasso (along with Shrinking the other night) and we're both super sad they're over.  Both had some amazing writing involved.  We've also been enjoying The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy even though it really just seems like an advert for rich people stuff that most of us will never be able to afford.  Platonic is so so but we're caught up on that.  I think we've got a few other things in the queue but I think we may re-watch Ted Lasso because I'm not ready for it to be over.  If you're wanting the three month trial like we're getting, the link is here.

We had brunch yesterday then headed out on full bellies to get a walk in as rain was finally forecasted within the hour.  Thankfully we didn't encounter a single soul and it started raining almost halfway into our first lap.  We just popped open the umbrellas and even walked an extra lap we were having such good conversation and enjoying the surroundings.

(Almost reminded us of Hawaii...almost.)

When it was over, we weren't ready to go home to the audible reminders of our neighbors so we decided to stay in the car for an hour and listen to the song of nature as rain bounced off the thin tin our Hyundai calls a roof.


Afterward, we did a park and grab cache before parking and grabbing Renfield from Redbox courtesy of my bestie on her Christmas gift card.

That will bring us back to now ladies and gent.

How was your weekend?

  1. The weekend did whizz by but I did enjoy the drive and geocaching. Glad we walked in and enjoyed watching the rain too. Much needed on several levels.

  2. That sounds like a very fun weekend! Glad you got out and about. Mine was good. Haircuts, usual chores and errands, and church on Sunday. Sunday afternoon was very relaxing so I was able to recharge a bit.
