Adding Texture to Home Decor is Hygge | 30 Days of Hygge Challenge
When discovering what is Hygge life, I was pleased to find out that I didn’t need to get rid of items in my home that bring me comfort. Creating a Hygge home requires adding items that add comfort and warmth. Adding texture to home decor is Hygge and super simple to do. Today is Day 10 of my 30 days of Hygge challenge and I was blessed to find out I already followed this Hygge task. I will be the first to admit that I’m not an interior designer. I don’t have a chic home. However, Hygge experts might just agree that our home is Hygge worthy. Our home is…

Slow Life Down with Hygge | 30 Days of Hygge Challenge
I hear a lot of moms complain that they don’t have time to take a break or rest. They have too much to do. I get it. Moms are busy. If we aren’t working on something, our “busy mom brain” is thinking of the long list of tasks that need to get done. How can we get a break? You can slow life down with Hygge. Impossible! Nope, not impossible. It does, however, take an intentional decision to make yourself a priority for just a day. It doesn’t have to be about you only. The family can join in. In fact, why not make it a pajama day? This post…

Is Healthy Food Hygge | 30 Days of Hygge Challenge
Is healthy food Hygge? This is a very good question. It’s also one that I’ve struggled with as I contemplated going on a 30-day Hygge challenge. I have a love-hate relationship with food. I love to eat it but hate the lasting effects it has on my body now that I’m older. Do you relate? I’m on Day 7 of my 30 days of Hygge challenge and I was to bake and cook today. Experts say that to feel Hygge you need to learn how to bake. They tell you that pastries, cakes, and other sweets are very Hygge. Why is that? Why does one need to have a “cheat…

Building Relationships in Hygge Life | 30 Days of Hygge Challenge
The topic of building relationships in Hygge life is one of the building blocks to having a Hygge lifestyle. But if life is chaos, how do you make it happen? What if you are an introvert, like me that has zero energy at the end of the workday and can’t bring yourself to be around extra people? How do you nurture relationships with your kids and spouse when you are so drained at the end of the day, everything they do irritates you and you find yourself yelling at the kids all the time?

Including Nature in Hygge Life | 30 Days of Hygge Challenge
If you are following along my 30 days of Hygge journey you will know by now that I’m testing to see if my own routines that I created years ago to help my family aligns with Hygge life. I hadn’t heard of Hygge until last year so I was curious enough to do some research into what is Hygge and commit to 30 days of Hygge challenge. I’m on Day 3 today, and the task was to watch a sunrise and sunset. In short, I failed. I honestly tried, but my home is too deep into an urban setting to get a good view of either. When it wasn’t working…

I’m a “Sheldon” when it comes to my comfy spot to sit in the evenings (Big Bang Theory Fans will understand). If you…

It is simple and I loved that!!!! I thought the task would be to use…
