Hygge in a Box Fall 2022 🇨🇦
I should put a bowl of Halloween candy in my office in case anybody wants some.— Me, working from home. Alone. Simon Holland Fall’s here and it’s nesting time. Prime hygge time. As soon as the temperature starts to drop below oh, I don’t know, maybe 16°C 😂😂 I like to light some candles, make…

The Father’s Day Box from Hygge in a Box 🇨🇦
I used to feel bad that my hubby spent his first Father’s Day putting up wallpaper but looking back it was smart to set the bar low ’cause every one since has been an improvement. Even if we do nothing (or next to nothing 😬) it’s better than 12 hours working with wallpaper paste. This…

Hygge in a Box Fall 2021 🇨🇦
Time: *heals all wounds* Daylight Savings Time: *stabs me in the leg* — Ian Dukes It’s been a week since we turned back the clocks and 5 p.m. still seems like midnight. I feel like someone stabbed me in the leg *and* ran over me with a truck, LOL. “Since the days are cooler and…

We’ve had a run of beautiful fall days over the past week, the kind that makes you pause for a moment to turn your face to the sun, close your eyes and revel in the wonderful feeling of warmth on your skin. Noticing the sweetness in life is what hygge is all about and practicing…
