Slow Living for the New Year | Cozy Cottage Vlog | HYGGE Home \\
Slow living isn’t a trend for me its a lifestyle I have embraced for years, I really learned it from my mom and grandma. We always just took our time to enjoy the beauty of everyday. I’m a romantic at heart, with a very practical lifestyle approach “ keep it simple”. I grew up on a farm and I think that furthered my love of simplicity and back to the basics mindset.
We moved six months ago to our cozy cottage, and we are in the process of fixing it up. I strive to make our home cozy and inviting no matter what stage of remodeling we are in. Making a home hygge and cozy is just a normal way of life for me and I can’t imagine it any other way. I hope you felt a little of those cozy vibes as you watch our new year slow living video. Have a blessed New year and thank you for all the love and support on this channel.

I'm sure I can smell how amazing that lemon powder is from here 🍋 I'd love to know how you'll use it. I hope you're having a beautiful cozy winter there. It sure looks beautiful. Take care sweetie ones Xxoo

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

This is the first vlog of yours I came across, I'm definitely watching some more. I'm retired and live with my husband in a tiny 550 sq ft cabin, secluded on 40 acres . We chose this after retirement, to intentionally slow our life down. It has brought so many other gifts....humbleness, gratitude, being much more mindful minute to minute, meditative, simplification of daily chores. I now think softly while going about daily life, instead of loudly and quickly. That has been a blessing 🙏.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

What beautiful words and lessons you have learned 🥰 blessed me to hear. We to lived off grid for five years and that’s where so much of this life started for me. Thank you for watching ❤️

[@kristinae.coleman8320]

I ❤️ that… thinking softly instead of loudly and quickly

Absolutely love your channel! Your family and your home is beautiful and peaceful! Thank you for sharing! Love to watch you husband and Son work together! What a tremendous blessing!!!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

New sub here. I'm bringing a slower pace to our home by stepping back from some of the things I've normally opted to do. I've stepped away from FB for a while, reduced my amount of errands (due to Covid, but it's been a positive overall), am trying to make more time for reading, and I'm trying to get our home more organized and easier to keep tidy between cleanings so I'm not constantly overwhelmed by cleaning. I've begun eating a new way for health purposes and am having to change the way I stock food (my family is adopting many of these eating practices too--mainly grain and sugar free/lower) so I really have to re-think how and what to stock. I'm basically cutting the "fraff" out of our home life so we can breathe and enjoy our days. :) God bless!

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Good for you! What beautiful and positive changes. ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you.

[@shayb1701]

Very nice thank you enjoyed it One way I've noticed the covid year has changed our family, we're doing more creative cooking, baking and sitting together more often to eat.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

That’s definitely a positive thing that’s come out of all this! ❤️ I think everyone is learning to live more slow and simple lives.

The week after Christmas is my absolute favorite! And we actually got a little snow here in Illinois. ⛄️ It’s so magical! I love slow living. I can’t seem to find other humans who share the same philosophy, so I thank you for your channel! 💗 I am an introverted homebody 😊 and love to putter and daydream. Today I snuggled up with my cat and read a book, and later made peanut butter cookies and did absolutely nothing else. Your channel is such a gem. Happy New Year to you and your family! xx laura

What a beautifully relaxing video. I agree that we have learnt so much in 2020, to slow down, pay attention to what is happening around us and make time for others. I am about to go into my busy work place, but I now feel calm and prepared. Thank you I hope you enjoy a safe and happy year.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

[@smoothsailingmp]

Thank you so much I just love the way the video is done it reminds me of being table height standing at about 5 years old watching my mother or my grandmother make pastry or put a meal together now this was 73 years ago. So watching at the edge of the table, where much of the cooking was put together(we didn't have kitchen islands so the work was done at the table) but oh did iLearn thank you for the memory

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

❤️ What a precious memory!

[@beckygwinn2107]

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and calming video. I too am glad to see 2020 end but looking back I too have learned a lot that I’ll take with me into the new year.

[@rachelc.7152]

Thank your for another beautiful video Abby Jo! Happy New Year! We had some clear weather today so we seized the opportunity to get outside; built another raised bed, cleaned the duck pen and played with the goats before the rain came back late this afternoon. Spent the afternoon and early evening baking cookies, bread and canning up some mixed berry jam from the last of the summer berries in the freezer.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

What a delightful day ❤️ sounds so perfect! Happy New Year friend 😘❤️🎊🥳

[@helanalurie9962]

I have just come across your video and immediately subscribed after watching it. Wow, I think there is a great longing to slow living. I think we all feel we wished we had the freedom to prioritize what is really important instead of rushing through a to do list that always seem to override the other things that we rather would have wanted to attend to. My dream is also to get a cabin on a piece of land where we could be left in peace to live our lifes to the fullest. Where one can be more self sufficient and live according more meaningful priorities. Thanks for sharing.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

It so true! I think people are waking up to the realization that getting off the hamster wheel and making changes to there life to slow down and simplify is really so good for all of us ❤️

Happy New Year. I like filling jars too. I accidentally bought grape fruit a few weeks ago instead of oranges. I dehydrated & powdered them. I thought I could use it as vitamin C. They would have been beautiful left in slices and made into garland. I love getting to putter around the house. God bless you and your family.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Yes, filling jars makes me feel soooo good 😊 You know, you can make lemonade with the powder. I wonder if you could make some kind of drink with it too? Garlands are a good idea too! Have a blessed new year. ❤️

Yes I used to brush my mother's hair in the 50s so yes I'm 78 but she had gotten what we thought what's multiple sclerosis and was paralyzed on half of her body so we all did our chores but one thing she loved to have me do boys brush her hair so that was a good memory especially today thank you yes we had to slow down and Grandma did the laundry and the cooking I helped with the dishes I helped put clothing away I clean the house from about five or six years old so yes we all learned to slow down thankfully thank God it was a stroke she had and she eventually got well and even went back to work at the Parma police station in Ohio she did their incoming calls it was a real challenging job to say the least but she was a fighter God was with her God blessed us all it was good to slow down God bless you bye
