Hygge has been described as everything from “the art of creating intimacy”, “cosines of the soul”, “the absence of annoyance” to “taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things”, “cosy togetherness” and “the pursuit of everyday pleasures”.

In the Kitchen

Recipes for tasty grub and taking a moment to be present and relax.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Here you can be social or sit peacefully with a cup of tea, you can bustle about playing full scale caterer or just warm yourself by the oven while baking.

Child-Led

In our family we believe in an unschooling approach to childhood. For us, this means learning through living life and building on the natural interests of our children as they arise, just as we do with out adult interests.

We might read, visit new places, socialise, play games, watch shows, act, be in nature, play sports, cook, create something useful, make some art, garden etc etc etc…

Be Kind To Yourself

Living a hygge life is all about finding moments of relaxation, being social in a small intimate group of friends or family, playing games by candlelight, supping warm soup after a rainy walk, adventures in the woods and much more.

Part of this ethos is learning to be kind to yourself. Finding an inner peace is integral to our happy lives.

Protect the Planet

It has become more and more important to me in the last couple of years to live more sustainably, and try to soften the impact my life has on our beautiful planet as much as possible.

Book Reviews

Covering a few genres but mainly focused on parenting, homeschooling, sustainability and psychology.

The only people who are ‘old’ are those who stop learning. Be open to learning something new about yourself, the world and other people, and you will never be old in my opinion.
