Bruce and I started a semi week off. I say semi because we never get a real week off without a client having some sort of an emergency. Such is life for a business owner. Plus I have projects in the midst of approvals. Definitely, slowing down this week and focusing on us and all the small moments. We started the week venturing through antique stores and flea markets. I picked up some goodies like a great cutting board and an early redware piece with a green patina. My grandfather dropped off mums. How did it get to be mum season already? I picked up “How to Hygge” at Peterson Farms and read the whole book in one afternoon (I don’t remember when I was able to read a whole book in one sitting)
We spent the evening baking a Bundt cake from the recipes in the book with our own little twist. If you’re looking for a book on how to slow down and live more close to nature and learn about Hygge it’s a quick read and leaves you feeling a bit more balanced.
Here’s our take on the Bundt Cake… Hygge Influence- use what we have in our pantry and is ripe… simple and it worked
