What are you looking for?

Do you have a weekly routine? Saves us from stressing over what needs to be done, and gives us a framework so we know what we are supposed to be doing and when! πŸ‘πŸ˜ Tuesday is Flylady "Plan and Play" (set your timer for 15 minutes and go!) but just pick any day that suits YOU ✍️✍️✍️ I plan our weekly menu (saves MONEY!), look ahead in the diary to see what's ahead, pay any bills which are due and - most importantly- plan a little fun! We all need something to look forward to! But back to menu planning...see today's blogpost for a full rundown of what we're eating at Casa Copenhagen this week! πŸ‘πŸ€©πŸ₯£πŸ₯¦πŸžπŸ†πŸ₯— You can read it by tapping on my Instagram Stories, use the link in my Bio or here! ➑️ https://dianedenmark.com/2022/08/16/whats-for-dinner-menu-plan-16-august-2022/ 2️⃣5οΈβƒ£πŸ‘°β€β™€β€οΈπŸ€΅ Happy Silver Wedding Anniversary to my dear friend Sue and her hubby! πŸ‘°β€β™€πŸ’’πŸ€΅2️⃣5️⃣ Do you have any special traditions in your corner of the world? πŸŒπŸ‡©πŸ‡° Here in Denmark you gather with friends, family and neighbours very early in the morning and "wake" the Silver Wedding couple by singing underneath their bedroom window! πŸͺŸπŸ‘°β€β™€πŸ€΅πŸ‘ πŸ€©πŸŽ€πŸ‡©πŸ‡° (There were over 40 of us, standing on the street just before 7am this morning, trying to hide!) The couple open the window, pretend to be surprised πŸ˜… then invite everyone in (through the traditional fresh flower arch which other family members have erected during the night 🌸πŸšͺ🌸) for a yummy breakfast of fresh rolls, wienerbrΓΈd (Danish pastries), coffee, tea and juice πŸ₯¨πŸ₯¨πŸ«–β˜•οΈπŸ§€πŸ―πŸ«–β˜•οΈπŸ₯¨ Sue was wearing her wedding dress which still fits perfectly (and her veil and long train). So beautiful! πŸ˜πŸ‘— Oh, and the rain held off! β˜€οΈ For today's special occasion I wore my red heart dress (in the colours of the Danish flag πŸ‡©πŸ‡°) ❀️2️⃣5οΈβƒ£β€οΈπŸ‘°β€β™€πŸ’’πŸ€΅ (The family arranges the Silver Wedding Breakfast. There will also be an evening party arranged by the couple.) πŸ₯³πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊHappy Anniversary to anyone else celebrating today! Do you have a similar tradition? πŸ₯¨πŸ‡©πŸ‡°2️⃣5οΈβƒ£πŸŽ€πŸŽ€πŸŽ€ πŸ‘‹πŸ€©πŸŽ₯ In today's YouTube video... How did you find me? Flylady, winterswimming, Dressing Your Truth, hygge lifestyle, something completely different? Taking a fun look at my first ever "shine your sink, Flylady system" video on YouTube from 2016 πŸ’¦ Does anyone remember it? 😁Plus a run through of my catchphrases. Join me for a hygge chat across the kitchen table here in sizzling hot Denmark (heatwave is back)! Thank you for your continued support! And remember to leave a comment on the YouTube video and let me know how (and when) you found me!  You can watch the video by tapping on my Instagram story, use the link in my bio or here! πŸ‘‡ Ready for a Sunday reset? πŸ™πŸ˜Š Often it's the small things that bring us a sense of calm and joy: simple routines! πŸ’™ πŸ‘•πŸ‘– Outfit of the day: ready for tomorrow! πŸ‘πŸ€© Heatwave in Copenhagen so keeping it very simple and cool this week πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ‡©πŸ‡° Necklace is homemade: I used a piece of gold chain and one pink tassel/gold hoop earring (the earrings were too big for my pixie ears) πŸ˜πŸ‘‚πŸ‘‚πŸ“Ώ Do you do plan for fun in your week? πŸ‘‹πŸ€© A walk with a friend, exercise class with a colleague, picnic with a neighbour, weekend jaunt with your Other Half? Part of my Flylady weekly planning (Tuesday = Plan and Play) is taking a minute to plan some fun for me/the family - we all need something to look forward to! βœοΈπŸ—“πŸ₯³ With busy lives, it's all too easy to get caught up with the hustle and bustle... I needed a little boost this week and I get that in spades when I'm together with my fab friend @erikabirch_artanddesign (a.k.a. Erika from America)! She's also a fantastic business sparring partner (we both run small businesses). We caught up over a quick picnic lunch πŸ₯—πŸ₯— and, of course, a couple of dips in the sea (heatwave has returned to Denmark)! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸ‡©πŸ‡° (Oh, and we're both 55 years old, Copenhagen Bluetits and Dressing Your Truth Type 1s! πŸ‘πŸ˜) Plan some fun, keep your friends on your radar! πŸ˜ƒπŸ’– And if you can't meet physically, send a text or email! πŸ”₯πŸ‘—πŸ‘”πŸ‘– Do you have a capsule wardrobe? I love that my capsule works keeps me covered through all 4 seasons! πŸ‡©πŸ‡°β„οΈπŸŒ±πŸ And that many of my wardrobe items are hand-me-downs or several years old. No need to spend, spend, spend! πŸ˜β™»οΈ In today's YouTube video, a round-up of what I’m wearing this week - the heatwave has returned! πŸ”₯ Do you look out your outfit the day before? I usually choose my outfit the day before, when I’m putting away the day’s laundry. It gives me the time to be creative with my outfits (so I wear everything I own instead of always grabbing the same things) and then I can hit the ground running in the morning, no faffing around. When I’m β€œdressed for the day”, I feel happier and am more productive! Being dressed and ready for action is an important part of the Flylady system.πŸŽ₯ You can see the video by tapping my Instagram Story, use the link in my Bio, or here!  https://youtu.be/lpmi5Lybh7Y πŸ‘‹πŸ˜ƒπŸ’–πŸ‘— πŸ’¦πŸ«– Woo hoo, it's Kitchen Week! πŸ‘‹πŸ˜ Giving a little extra love to the heart of the home...are you joining us? πŸ’–πŸ³πŸ‘ Set your timer for 5 or 10 minutes and see how much cleaning and decluttering you can do when you focus! β°πŸ‘πŸ˜ƒ I aim to do 15 minutes at the beginning of the week, then any extra minutes are a bonus πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ Tonight, after dinner πŸ₯—πŸ₯—πŸ₯— I'll use my 'scrubby' cloth to remove the tanin from our tea mugs and give my sink a deep scrub 🌟 In decluttering news, my son said he'll take our espresso pot (we no longer use it, preferring tea in the afternoon/evening) and one of the chili plants (I have two) for his balcony 🌢🌢🌢 Yay! Plus I'm decluttering a tiny salt & pepper set (used for picnics, in a previous life πŸ˜„) is going into my box for our next Swap Party. Go me! πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ“¦πŸ“¦ Remember! We are making progress, we don't need to do it ALL this week - my lists are suggestions πŸ§ΉπŸ’¦πŸ§ΉπŸ§Ή Add hygge while you work (listen to music, chat to a friend on the phone, make yourself a nice cuppa tea or coffee) and add some hygge to your kitchen space! No need to buy anything, you can "shop your house": take a vase/candle/cushion/plant etc from another room. For me, these are the little things that bring me joy when I'm tidying up the kitchen after dinner πŸͺ΄πŸ•―πŸ‡©πŸ‡°πŸ˜ŠπŸ’– What will YOU clean or declutter today??
