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.
