  • How Do I Bring Hygge to My House

    Hygge Winter

    Hygge is the Danish word for cozy or having that warm happy feeling.  If you haven’t read the book The Little Book of Hygge, you really should.  This book goes into why Danish people are so happy and how to enjoy Hygge.  Hygge is said Hoo-ga and can be found everywhere you go.  How do I bring Hygge to my house?  This cozy feeling has less to do with stuff and more to do with the atmosphere you surround yourself with.

  • The Five By Five Rule

  • Simple Living Summer Bucket List – Slow Summer

    Summer bucket list

    Today I am sharing my simple living summer bucket list with you.  This summer we are going to have as much fun as possible!  The only difference is I am going to approach the planning of summer a little different.  I designed a summer bucket list that has 5 different sections.  By breaking up my summer plans and ideas I feel we will get more done.  Too many plans can be overwhelming. (post contains affiliate marketing) What is a slow summer?  My personal definition of a slow summer is; coming up with some fun activities, but letting each day unfold naturally.  I don’t want to feel like I am rushing…
