Small elaborate changes that make the ordinary seem extraordinary!!
Fridays are the most hyggelige days all week in our house. It is the day where most Danish parents rush home from work, so they can pick the kids up early, and come home together. Most of the people I know, all eat dinner together at the dinner table, and it is common practice for the kids to help out preparing the food. We like to get the kids involved. Friday is… Keep Reading
When I was small, I had a serious dislike for cooked fruit, and foods with lumpy bits in. I am still very particular with my foods, but I have discovered a serious love for crumbles. It is probably one of the easiest and quickest cakes you can make, and because there is a lot of fruit in it, and not too much sugar, I try and tell myself that it… Keep Reading
The weather is funny here in Denmark. One day it is a lovely sunny day, with almost no wind or clouds, and the next day, the temperature drops almost 10 degrees, and it is rainy and grey again. It is the reality of living in the Northern hemisphere, the weather is unpredictable (even know the weather girls do their best). But it is also part of the charm of living… Keep Reading

Today I wanted to share one of the most loved summer desserts from Denmark. It is called Koldskål, and translated it means ‘Cold bowl’. I would call it a chilled vanilla milky cold dessert (some people call it soup, but it isn’t cooked so I don’t 🙂 Koldskål is served chilled, and with small vanilla biscuits. Some people love to smash up their biscuits, whilst others prefer theirs whole. The concoction is usually a… Keep Reading

We spent the entire weekend outside, being busy and basking in the sunshine. In a country like Denmark, that has very little sunshine, people literally flock outside as soon as we have a few sun rays, and we all love it. It is hyggeligt. This country is cold for more that 7 months a year, and many people wonder how we get by, but it is the fact that when we have… Keep Reading
Ferm living is a firm favourite of our in this house. Their collections always hit the mark, and they keep growing and their collections just keep getting better and better. I remember terrazzo floors from when I was a child. The black and white speckled stone gave the bathrooms a specific look that I liked. But then people got sick of it, and most old bathrooms and wetrooms were renovated with… Keep Reading
SPONSORED POST // a collaboration between Simply Danish Living & Mapiful I am a big fan of decorating your walls, to create a cool and contemporary look. I have also always had a bit of an infatuation with maps – especially vintage old maps. Many make maps these days, but I hadn’t come across any I liked until I stumbled over Mapiful and their custom made maps. You see, Mapiful enables… Keep Reading
A snack that children – and adults in Denmark – love to eat is what we call Pølsehorn. It is a good old sausage roll, with or without ketchup, and most bakers, supermarkets sell these. You can easily make a version with store-bought dough, and a sausage, pop it in the oven and there you go. These are great for lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack when the kids are starving….

When Easter is approaching, Danish children make and send out Gækkebreve. Traditionally these small letters always included a Vintergæk (Snowdrop/Galanthus) which is where the name stems from. It’s meant to be a letter to ‘tease’ (at drive gæk med) someone by making them guess who sent it. A small poem or verse is written in the middle of the paper. You can make up your own poem or use one of the… Keep Reading
I often go to flea markets, and look around for hidden treasures. One day last year, I came across an old poetry book lying there all alone. I took it, looked through and instantly loved the aged paper, the swirly but perfect handwriting, and the poems that people had written to the young lady it belonged to. My grandmother visited me one day, and was also drawn to the old… Keep Reading
