30 DAYS OF HYGGE CHALLENGE

happy new year!!

 i recall posting last year about how i dont make resolutions. that much has not changed. i dont make resolutions because i cannont commit to a year long promise. things and situations happen and sometimes it gets in the way. i instead like to make goals and set them for a shorter time frame to see if i can actually stick with them. i find it more fun, and more likely for me to achieve them this way. 

there are a few things i have in mind already but im going to only mention one. and you are welcome to try this along with me! if you read my last post, i mentioned the word HYGGE which is the danish word that basically means "cozy". it is a lifestyle that they believe in and follow regularly in denmark. without knowing it prior, we are already pretty "hyggeligt" in our home. i am totally one of those people that in the colder months would rather stay in, curl up by the woodstove with a mug of tea or coffee, a book or a good movie. i like our living room to especially give off that vibe when you walk in it. my kitchen and our bedrooms can be whatever lol...but i ALWAYS make sure the living room is clean and cozified. when i watched a show on the "danes" and then read a couple books about this wonderful word it became clear to me that it is EXACTLY what i strive for. so, if you have not heard of it, look it up. read some blogs, it honestly makes me want to move to Denmark lol. everything feels so rushed here...

i mean, how can you not love this...

ANYWAY: i am a member of some HYGGE groups on facebook and i follow a few blogs. there was a post put up called "30 days of hygge challenge" and it is for the month of january. every day you have a new task. and if nothing else, it is the perfect excuse to open up the mind and get creative, or have some personal time, etc...lets get to the challenge:

 as of right now i should be up to day 3...i def have not been up to see the sunrise (ooops...but im 7 months pregnant and i deal with a 3 and 1 yr old all day...im tiiiiiiirrred lol) maybe ill fit in somewhere;)

i do have a journal, but what i was thinking was trying to document via the blog b/c it might keep me on track more than doing it during the day elsewhere. i dunno...maybe ill just write in the journal and share it in a photo post. i am going to start this TONITE folks. i got my kids in bed early, the hubs is deep into "outside tv" so i have some time. im pumped. take a look at some of these...this should be no problem. Day 16..."can you wear slippers all day?" Are you giving me permission 30 day challenge? b/c i totally will lol. 

i personally feel like this is a good beginning to 2017...at least for me. like i said i need to start small. vowing to do something for a whole year, at the BEGINNING of the year just does not work for me. the only commitment im really good at is being faithful to my husband haha, other than that...not so much. if you are like me, maybe this is a good first step for you. feel free to follow along as i attempt the next 30 days.

side note: if you are interested in this concept of HYGGE, here are some great books to get you started. I have read the first two and am expecting the "little book" soon (I won a signed copy!!!)

have a great nite!!
