The hygge lifestyle can have an impact on many things, but did you know you could hygge Mother's Day? This Sunday is Mother's Day and I've got simple hygge ideas & inspiration so you can make it the best one ever. Watch the 10-second video for my most important one.

Hygge is the art of building sanctuary and community, of inviting closeness and paying attention to what makes us feel open-hearted and alive; a coziness of the soul. - LaWhimsy

Hygge Ideas: Inviting Closeness & Open-Hearted Connection


(1) Your presence, not her presents, will be the best thing you bring to any Mother's Day celebration. The chance to connect warmly with you will mean more than finding just the right gift.

I don't mean to suggest you shouldn't buy a gift, especially, if you always do. But know that that is not what she wants most.

What I believe she wants most is to feel loved, adored and cherished. Give her that.

Making it hygge - create a time where spending time together is the center of your celebration and leave space just for talking and laughing and remembering.

(2) Be with your mother wherever she feels safest and most at home.

If that's her home, then that's the best place to celebrate Mother's Day. If she likes to be taken out to eat, then go out to eat first and then, spend time just hanging out at your home or hers.

If you do have it at your home, make the atmosphere as warm and cozy as possible.

(3) Cook (or order) all her favorite food, the way she used to do for your celebrations.

If you are eating at a restaurant, though, then find another way to do favorites.

Maybe watch her favorite movie at your house after brunch. Or spend time looking at her favorite photo albums when you go back to her house.

Summary: Hygge Ideas for Mother's Day


To summarize - the goal of each of these ideas is to make your celebration special, but also personalized and loving.

So that there's a sense of connection and closeness and comfort. So that the day ends with her feeling not just honored but loved and cherished.

By the way, if you, like me, no longer have your mother with you, I'm sending you love. Schedule light this weekend, and be gentle with yourself.

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

Love, Jeanine

Happy Mother"s Day, Jeanine. I'm lucky. I still have my mother. I spend time with her. I don't feel the need to buy her stuff like I used to. She's at an age she doesn't need or want of things except our presence. Our family is spending time dining at our favourite Chinese restaurant.

This is perfect! It's not the presents, but the presence! Even though my mom isn't with us, I know she will look down from above and I will feel her presence and hope she will feel mine. Happy Mother's Day to you Jeanine!

That's exactly what my kids are going to do. two are going to cook a wonderful dinner for their mom in her home, accompanied by a great bottle of wine. (Ah, wine, the great accompaniment.)
The other child is on his way down to Alexandria to take his mom to a bunch of places she will enjoyu.
