Some days it’s just so busy at the office that I never get near a client file… today I’ve been given the chance to post not once, but twice! I was a little bit worried that Meik’s answers to my questions wouldn’t arrive before the end of the day… but here they are! Meik’s second book, The Little Book of Lykke comes out today, and … Continue reading Meik Wiking: The Little Book of Lykke Blog Tour

It’s summertime and we’re … Continue reading A Word for the Weekend…. New series

Will you buy cakes to share … Continue reading International Hygge Day
***I was actually sent a free copy of the book to review, but all thoughts and reactions are my own and not at all biased*** OK. At least, not biased by being sent the book to review, only by the fact that Brontë Aurell is an awesome Motherhygge who puts into one sentence as much common sense about hygge as many writers take a book … Continue reading Hygge Book: The Essence of Hygge by Brontë Aurell
