Hygge Day #9.

Hygge Photo Challenge Day #9:

Sweater. Last year (2017), for his

birthday, I bought dh the sweater

he's wearing in our annual photo

with our dearest friend. I'm wearing

the sweater my dh bought me this

year (2018) for my birthday. I love

sweaters. My closet and dresser are

full of them. But this one? Truly now

my favorite of all time. It's so super

soft. I can't even describe how soft.

I want to wear it every day but have

chosen to keep it for any and all

special days. Like when our dearest

friend comes over to spend time with

us, a few days after New Years, in 2019.

Nature. We are lucky to live

in such a beautiful County.

Living rurally means so many

opportunities to capture the

nature that surrounds us. Like

amazing hoar frost on our

Hygge Day #6.

Hygge Photo Challenge Day #6:

Comfort Food. Despite having

food issues ALL my life, I do

have a few I call comfort food.

Chicken Noodle Soup when the

rain falls from the sky. Broccoli

and Chicken Pot Pie on Sunday

nights, with Caesar Salad. Hot

Macaroni and Cheese anytime!

And on occasion, my dh will make

a Brit dinner consisting of Maple

and Bacon Baked Beans with

Maple Sausages on Fresh Baked

Bread. With chocolate milk in my

chocolate box cottage English China

cup. Mmmm! #comfort food #hygge

Hygge Day #5.

Hygge Photo Challenge Day #5:

Togetherness. This is only part

of our little family. I wanted a

shot of us in front of the Royal

Albert Museum at the end of the

afternoon. Our visit was amazing

and we will be back. Every other

family would have lined up nicely

for their photo, hair in place, shirts

tucked in. But this my family ~ at

least part of us. And if I ask for a

photo, this is what will transpire.

No apologies. Real life. Together.

Hygge Day #4.

Hygge Day #4. The prompt was Gratitude.

On this day, I wrote:"Our family, the one

we created and the ones we came from,

our beloved little cottage we built for us,

in the big woods, carefully crafted creative

careers and abundant health. Gratitude."

Hygge Day #3.

Hygge Day #3. The prompt today was

Hot Drink. And this is what I wrote:

"We set up a little Hot Chocolate

Station over the holidays for anyone

who needed to warm up after being

outside in the snow and the cold. 

Winter is here! Makes being outside

so much easier when you know a sweet

cup of hot chocolate is so easy to make

and so welcoming to enjoy." #hygge

Hygge Day #2.

The prompt was Warmth. And I wrote

the following: "I love the soft light from

our mantel garland and the beautiful

glow of the Christmas tree. A vision of

comfort, peace and warmth." #hygge
