About Tove Maren

Hej, I am Tove Maren, a Danish/ American writer living in the Greater Seattle area. Growing up in Denmark, I was raised on hygge and insanely salty licorice. You probably won’t share my love for Danish candy. But I am sure Danish hygge is perfect for you!

Let’s hygge together!

🍂 You don’t have to go on big hikes or travel far to be surrounded by nature’s beauty. All these pictures were taken in our neighborhood. You simply have to open your eyes and your heart to the stunning details all around you: colors, textures, sizes and seasonal changes. 🍁

Cleaning isn’t just for spring time. 🪴I spruced up my little plant-filled hygge corner - and it’s bringing me so much happiness. Cleaning one corner at a time may be the only thing you have energy for - and that’s ok. Organize and clean your house - one corner of a time - it works for me. 🏡🥰

This week, Jonah and I found “Jakob Two Trees”

This week, Jonah and I found “Jakob Two Trees” in Issaquah, Washington. The troll was created by @thomasdambo in collaboration with @scandesignfoundation and with design elements by members from the @snoqualmietribe - the size, the details and the sheer amount of work that went into creating this piece of art blew me away. But… all that said, the number of people - of all ages that came out in search of the troll simply warmed my heart. I had tears in my eyes - watching young, old, teenagers and business people alike walking the trail in search of magic, folklore and culture. Leave it to trolls to bring people together! 🧌❤️🇩🇰

Visiting my sister’s house in Denmark, was like stepping into a cocoon filled with hygge, comfort and love. ❤️ Every where you turned, she displayed items well-loved and cared for. It wasn’t cluttered, it wasn’t minimalistic, it was just right - it was HYGGE! 🇩🇰

If walls could talk… don’t you wonder what stories an old doorway could tell? Who’s entered, who’s left - what did they feel - what tales lie beyond the front door? 🚪 🤔 What questions would you ask?

Did you know, every day starts with a beautiful sunrise… and that’s worth celebrating! (This particular sunrise was captured over Iceland - from our plane window). 🥰

Did you know that gardening doesn’t have to break the bank?! 🌹 I have our front yard filled with small rose bushes I’ve rescued from our grocery store when they go on sale. Never give up on sad plants - they often just needs some TLC… and time! ❤️🌹

We made terrariums yesterday. The bottle on the left is from Target, the other jar was in my bast collection of “jars I need to save for a special project”. We covered the bottom with gravel rock and some sand we had laying around and then added small clippings from my most humidity-loving plants. 🌱 Let’s see what happens with these - if they thrive or fail. Regardless of the outcome, our youngest son and I had a blast making them! ❤️

Hygge with the kids happens when you say “yes”

Hygge with the kids happens when you say “yes” - even when you are tired and have an endless to-do list. 🏊‍♂️ Today, the two littlest asked to go to our community pool with a friend. 🏊 Did I have other things to do?! YES (that’s always a yes)… but could those things wait?! Also YES (and they most often can)… so here I am - with happy kids who are away from screens, being active and playing with a friend. I said “yes” to hygge! 🥰

This is exactly what a “hygge krog” (hygge corner) is meant to look like. 😍 Having hygge in your home, doesn’t always mean “minimalistic” and matching everything. Hygge is the feeling you get when you enter a space. This is my writing nook. ✍🏼 In this space, I am surrounded by all.the.things from my childhood home, my parents’ home and special gifts from my sister, kids and friends. I feel at peace here - I feel safe and loved. This is my hygge krog! 🥰

Hygge and happiness is: opening your Christmas present from your sister and finding THIS masterpiece! 😍 Just thinking of all the hours she spent making this for me, warmed my heart! ❤️ Isn’t it an amazing blanket?! Thank you, @sonjaclingman ❤️

From our family to yours: Glædelig jul and a very Merry Christmas. 🎄 🎅🏼❤️ Thank you for being part of this hygge-filled corner of the internet. I appreciate YOU and the positive energy you bring. I hope your days are filled with happiness and hygge - always! 🥰 Much love, Tove

Today I’m thankful for the foresight of 2005 me

Today I’m thankful for the foresight of 2005 me when I asked my grandma if I could make photocopies of her cookie recipes. 🍪 👵🏻❤️ Next week, I will bake cookies with my boys - using grandma’s recipes - her cherished recipes. If you are still blessed with parents and grandparents, ask them for their recipes NOW - future you will thank you! ❤️

What’s bringing you hygge today? My grandma’s old fragile Christmas ornaments would never last a day on our tree. So I filled an old fish bowl with greenery and her Christmas decorations - for a fun way to display these memory-filled ornaments. 🎄❤️ Hygge in a fish bowl 🥰
