When was the last time you had a moment on your own?

No matter if you're single or a parent of a whole bunch of kids, a moment of time on your own where you set the agenda,  (not someone or something else), is so soul soothing, especially if you have a lot on your mind and shoulders every day.

Just wanted to share our all time favourite pancake recipe. I find home made dough to be the  best  - and it actually doesn't take long to mix it anyway.

And then in a split second came the month of April.

March was really busy for my part but there were also many cosy moments that made it all so much better. That's the thing with hygge, it makes life more beautiful and relaxed, when you need it the most. It's not so much about having time but more about making time and space for things and moments that make you and your loved ones feel good.

I realised recently that for such a long time I have been focusing on getting time on my own. And honestly, it's not that easy when you have four kids aged 5 to 17 as well as work to take care of. But honestly, as time on my own or with friends had been a goal of mine for a while, I suddenly came to understand that I have actually acheived it a while ago

It's the beginning of a new year and there is really so much to be excited about. The start of a new year is an opportunity to let go of things, situations, feelings and even relationships that do not work for you. Well actually anytime would be perfect for that!

The last couple of days a lovely group of people have participted in the Cosy Club's November event on Facebook. It has been an honour for me and as a final thank you for this time, I would love to share my secret family recipe of cinnamon knots.

A classic hygge theme is togetherness and the social part of being comfortable and at ease. We identify ourselves with different ways of living, our family, and friends, our co-workers or maybe with people that share the same beliefs that we have.

Earlier this year I asked several people what hygge ment to them. I have gathered some of the answers below for you to get inspired on your own personal hygge journey.

Soon it's time for Cosy Clubs November weekend event, the first one this Autumn. It would be really great if you would join too.

A few days back I was talking to my friend and I asked her how she was doing.  Well, she said, I'm feeling really tired. And kind of blue, she added reluctantly. And that's the thing, it can be difficult to share the overwhelmed feelings that sometimes emerge, when the Autumn kicks in. Because what can you really do about it?

Hygge is a great way to destress and you really don't have to look far to get access to all the nice benefits of a calm, relaxed moment at home.

A few tips and tricks will get you far in no time.

The Summer holiday seems so far away already. We had a couple of amazing weeks in the Southern part of France this year escaping a rather cold and rainful month of July in Sweden. I had promised my kids, well that's not entirely true, I had promised myself to visit Laduree's shop on Rue d'Antibes in Cannes, as I have this thing for beautiful surroundings and cakes.

When you have been going through a particularly stressful full time, you may find yourself drained and with limited resources. Do you know that feeling?

Your situation is even more difficult, when you have little people depending on your abilities as a parent. So how do you move on after a atressfull experience?

It has been on my mind for a while. That a lot of things seemed so much simpler, when I was younger. It probably wasn't, but that's how it feels now that most of my days are full of work, kids and no time to rest properly most of the time.

First thing on Saturday mornings I would jump out of bed and start arranging, fixing, cleaning and the list goes on. After a busy week, I would still speed up in the weekends to manage everything I hadn't time for on weekdays.
