Happy summer!
I hope you are all enjoying this special, magical time of year. I am so grateful for the sunshine, beautiful flowers, and fresh fruits and veggies – especially strawberries.
We’ve made it to Day 6! Christmas is so soon. I can’t believe it! Today was a fun and busy day. My sister and I went to get our nails done for Christmas and shared a pizza for lunch. This evening we went Christmas shopping with my dad, and then I wrote out the very last of my Christmas cards! I was afraid I wouldn’t get this post up in time, but I made it. 🙂
Summer is slowing down, and I am making sure to savor every moment. With nearly a month left before autumn starts creeping in, there is still plenty of time to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine. Last year I wrote a post about how to embrace hygge in the fall as well as explained the special Danish tradition of hygge. Today’s post includes some hyggelige and simple things I’ve done to relax and embrace summer. I hope it inspires you to do the same. 🙂
I am currently sitting here drinking some spiced apple tea and listing to the Cozy Christmas Nights playlist on Spotify. I am trying to relax and enjoy a quiet evening to myself before all the Christmas festivities begin. It all goes by TOO FAST! I am so excited to celebrate my first Christmas in Denmark, and I want to enjoy and cherish every moment.
Happy Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas! If you missed yesterday’s post, you can catch up here! Today I am sharing a yummy recipe I tried this past weekend. These are hot chocolate cookies, and I actually used two different types of real hot chocolate to make them! You can serve them at your next holiday party, give them away in a little Christmas tin as a gift, or even set them out for Santa.
