fika

this is a word if you visit Sweden you are sure to hear…

it’s to have a little break… with friends… with coffee…

and treats!

Every day… every where… fika!

I love it… it helps you slow down a little and sit and relax… and my gosh the treats… usually a bakery item… or even just a little cookie… but do you see those candies… a weakness for me really.

I could eat Swedish candy every day! I’m actually glad it’s hard to find here… ikea is a little far to go weekly too!

In Sweden though at every grocery story there is a candy section… with bins from floor to as tall as you are full of candies waiting to be scooped and brought home to your sweet children!

but really I think it’s more than about coffee and treats… it’s about taking the time to check in… with your body… with the people you love… to slow life down a bit and sit.

it’s beautiful.
