Others books will tell you how to do hygge. This is the only book that will show you. Though we all know the feeling of hygge instinctively few of us ever manage to capture it for more than a moment. Now Danish actress and hygge aficionado Marie Tourell Sderberg has travelled the length and breadth of her home country to create the perfect guide to cooking, decorating, entertaining and being inspired the hygge way. Full of beautiful photographs and simple, practical steps and ideas to make your home and life both comfortable and cheering all year round, this book is the easy way to introduce hygge into your life.

Who's looking forward to #Hyggehour again? It brought me such joy last week seeing all your wonderful posts. Sunday means it's #Hyggehugs day. So, take a minute to just slow down, physically, mentally and emotionally.

A Danish artist has installed a troll in the woods on the outskirts of my city!
Olebolle the troll is 19 feet high and will be here for 3 years. I was able to visit him yesterday.

DivineDiana That is fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing! ❤️ 1y

This page is my favorite from this book and expresses what Hygge means to me the most. The photos are wonderful and I felt less stressed just reading the book.

My #JolabokaflodSwap package arrived!!! Very excited!! I‘m not sure who my swap person is, but I‘m eager for Christmas Eve to get here!

Mccall0113 Yay! It‘s me! I wasn‘t sure if I was supposed to put my handle on the box but I see that others have. Hope you like it!! 4y
Readergrrl @Mccall0113 I don‘t know either, but I‘m very excited to receive your parcel! Only 2 of my 4 swaps have arrived, so I‘m sure we are all nervous about whether our swaps get to their destinations on time! 4y

2.5/5⭐ If this book was meant to be an aesthetic tour, then it accomplished its mission. But it was very surface level. There were a few recipes/DIY projects, but I didn't get much out of the book beyond “Hygge is extremely important to Danish people because it's cold & dark most of the year.“ It seems to be best served as a coffee table book to occasionally be flipped to a random page for a quick quote/anecdote for basic hygge inspiration.

Beautiful cover - mediocre content. This felt like a book that was solely written to cash in on the hygge craze in America.

Reading a book should be on this list too.

It‘s okay to get angry. I am training to become a life coach, and it bothers me when some coaches discount a person‘s anger. Negative emotions are a part of life, they give us balance. It‘s when they dominate our lives that it becomes a detriment to our health and well-being.

I am incredibly frustrated today, and yoga 🧘‍♀️ and meditation totally backfired. Sometimes it is just okay to veg. With a book!

AmyG Oddly enough, I went through a period of being angry as hell....and found that listening to heavy metal music was calming. Go figure. Ha...I yell in my head. A good yelling song is the best. 6y

riversong153 Amen! As a person that sometimes struggle with anger I find myself chastising myself even when the circumstances would illicit anger in anyone. I try to remember it‘s okay to be angry sometimes, its normal. 6y
whatsthEStorey I love that you‘ll take your perspective on anger into your life coaching! It‘s cool to see everyone‘s different coping strategies! Yoga and/or meditation when angry do not work for me! Sometimes vegging out really is a healthy coping skill. 6y
Weaponxgirl @AmyG I have a list of artists I listen to that I just call my angry ladies. Just being able to voice frustration through lyrics and having a bit of an angry bop whilst I‘m doing something often makes me feel better too! 6y
AmyG @Weaponxgirl Ha! Who are some of them? My favorite ladies to listen to are Sleater-Kinney. 6y
alisiakae @TheBookHippie @TrishB @AmyG @wordzie @riversong153 @whatsthEStorey @Weaponxgirl Thank you for the support everyone. ♥️♥️ I looked back on your comments last night and they really helped. Especially after our day got even worse. Yesterday afternoon we found out a friend of my daughter - who has been in the hospital w/ flu complications - passed away. She was a 5th grader, and our whole school community is heartbroken by this loss. 6y

I have always thought kids should be involved and start chores early

PagesByTheWater Our daughter is only one and she helps us clean up her toys and do laundry. It takes a while but watching her grow and learn is worth the extra minutes 6y
TEArificbooks Both my boys have specific jobs they do based on their physical abilities. It doesn't always get done perfectly but they are learning to be responsible for their own space and help in common areas. 6y
bookishkai Big proponent of kid chores. As a nanny, I see too many parents (and nannies) do all the work, but a toddler can do a surprising amount; by the time she was 3 my last nanny kid could pack her own backpack for outings, clear her plate and cup from the table and wipe the table, help make her lunch for school, and help me wash dishes. I have no tolerance for big kids who can‘t do anything to help. 6y

Butterfinger After I read a book on being hygge last winter, I made me a cozy reading nook in a corner of my porch. I have beautiful, sheer curtains and pillows and it was wonderful when the spring breezes would lift my curtains. It was the best thing I had ever done for myself. 6y

Book 51 of 2018
