Hygge, pronounced "Hoo-Ga," is a Scandinavian word that does not directly translate to any English word. It can only be described as a feeling. The feeling has been described as everything from "enjoying the good things in life with good people," to "cozy togetherness," or simply "hot cocoa by candlelight."

Hygge is creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the little things in life with good people. Hygge is comfort, relaxation, savoring simple pleasures, and togetherness combined. Think: eating homemade cookies with your family and friends, lighting a candle and reading a good book, or wearing your favorite warm sweater-all of these are hygge.

Hygge is a great way to indulge and enjoy the small (and cozy) things in life. Be creative with your child and find ways to experience hygge in your own lives!
