New This Month

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire; it is the time for home.” -Edith Sitwell

It’s January and that means its time for Kids in Service to once again focus on the Danish concept of HYGGE.  Never before has this beautiful concept been more important for our minds, bodies and souls. The holiday cheer is being packed away and for those who do not enjoy winter activities, January is a LONG month. Bringing hygge into your home can help shift the perspective of this time of year from one of dread to one of joy.  It will help lift everyones moods as you focus on cozy and gratitude instead of cold and loss. What is hygge you ask?  We have a series of posts all about this WONDERFUL concept and all you and your family can do embrace the cozy feeling of hygge this winter.
