MONTHLY BUCKET LIST FOR A HYGGE LIFESTYLE

 

Perhaps the beginning is just to say, "nice things are going to happen

this year"....let's try our best to make them come true....

I decided to think about all the beautiful ideas that I wanted

to achieve each month for 2023....

perhaps you may want to come along....

January
It's cold, 
We tend to hibernate.
Let's prepare a lovely batch of homemade Chicken and Dumplings.....

February
Ah, let's embrace our romantic self...
Prepare a lovely dinner for yourself or the one you love...
light the candles, play Frank Sinatra tunes....grill a steak and
enjoy a glass of wine...use linen napkins...
and....dress for dinner......

March
Cold winds are blowing
and the weather can be unpredictable.
It's a good time to enjoy the last of Winter
and make plans for the coming season...
scour magazines for inspiration of gardening,
cooking and spring.

April
Easter is a time for renewal.....
buy some tulips, serve a celebratory Easter brunch and
color some fancy eggs for your Easter basket!

May
This is the time to putter around your garden shed..
put your mind to designing a garden with romantic
blooms such as Tea Roses, Jasmine, Lavender and Gerber Daisies.
Purchase a lovely pair of garden gloves......

June
It's time...Summer has arrived.....
Make a fresh pitcher of Lemonade and
homemade Snickerdoodles....
Put on your sunhat and a pretty sundress
while you enjoy the warmth of the sun on the patio.

July
Plan a weekend getaway as you
celebrate Independence Day...
make a point to wear the good ole' red, white and blue!

August
The last of Summer...
stay cool...swim in the pool
and plan for the fall season...
be lazy, grill hamburgers and make potato salad..
serve it up with an ice cold cocoa-cola!

September
Plan an afternoon to go apple picking
or visit your local farmer's market for fresh apples...
make an apple pie and plan a picnic...
Be sure to bake a treat for the school age children....

October
It's time to bring out all the pumpkins and mums
and fall blankets...
Plan a picnic and make smores...enjoy the firepit
on a cool fall evening.....wear flannel shirts and warm socks..
watch football and cheer your team to victory!

November
The last of the fall season....
time for the Thanksgiving gathering and
all efforts go toward the most decadent family dinner...
we give thanks for the harvest, the beautiful colors
that nature surrounds us with....
it is a month to be thankful for all of our blessings.....

December
The Christmas season is upon us....
we must plan, decorate, bake good things to eat,
wrap gifts for those we cherish and celebrate
the Christmas Story....
bake cookies, plan an outing with grandchildren
and watch all the Christmas movies you can possibly watch..
play music as you decorate the tree..
gather with family and enjoy every minute!

I would say that's a darn good bucket list.......
May peace and contentment fill our homes.....
