Snuggie Saturday

/in , , , /by


Ahh Saturday!

Saturday’s for us tend to be full of projects or peace. Today we are doing a little bit of both so that we bring more hygge vibes in everyday. We’ve got projects (who doesn’t right?) but we will also take time to read by the fireplace.

Delaina was hoping to announce a new sleep video today but she has run into some technical fumbles so fingers crossed that it’s lulling us to sleep by Saturday.

Kristin is having fun designing new puzzles for our next activity book. We think it will reel you in. 😉

We wish you a Snuggie Saturday full of warm drinks, laughter, and pleasant memories.

What are Saturday’s usually like for you? 

Keep it Cozy

Hiya;
Wow what an amazing week it has been. We got to make music with our friends at PEC. Delaina edited some of her poems she wrote earlier this year. Kristin spent some time creating puzzles for our second Activity Book.

And some of you are sharing your appreciation for the music, newsletter and our upcycle on classic Christmas stories in Santa’s On Memory Lane. Thank you!

Cozy up by the fireplace or a warm cuppa and play our “12 Playlists of Christmas.” You can grab your full color copy for less than $3. The playlists open in Spotify.

🔧 Handyman Activity Book for Aging Adults

✨ Poetry Books

We might be biased but surely curling up in a comfy chair with a poetry book like Paper Birds or the Anniversary edition of She Too is hygge.

🌀 Coloring Books

Get Cozy with some soul-nourishment coloring. Our Mantra Mandalas put a spin on the power of repetition to evoke the feeling of words while you color.

📚 Large Print Fictions / Upcycles

Grab some blankets, turn on the fireplace and let our large print fictions warm your heart.

Handpan Happiness & Hygge

/in , /by

This month we are spreading hygge vibes by volunteering more at Prairie Elder Care Day Center and the Farm Homes. Both places are special because they were there for us in our darkest caregiving hours. But even beyond the quality of care they gave Kristin’s Dad they do so much in the community.

Fellow caregivers in the area, they even offer a monthly caregiver support group. Support groups are so valuable. These meetings are a safe environment to share your experiences, concerns, and get solid advice from people who understand dementia.

Here are some photos of us relaxing and even dancing with our friends.

Hiya;

Beyond Delaina’s Pan-tastic Day video we have a new video to share with you. It’s a 30 minute Zen-cation with cozy handpan music and falling snow.

Let us know what you think.

Meanwhile, we are preparing for our balmy 38º to dip to 8º reminding us that we don’t have it so bad. Also all the more reason to keep life hygge.

Cozy Monday

/in , , /by

Happy First Day of December or Cyber Monday or as we are calling it Cozy Monday! 

We don’t know if you feel the same way but it has been a year. So for the rest of 2025 and the winter season we are going full on cozy or maybe the Norwegians call it best––hygge.

Already we have started breathing a little more space into our day by relaxing earlier in the day, sipping warm tea, watching the snow fall today, and tonight we going to sleep early.

We are both taking more time for self-care, reading, and learning gently (not like our livelihood depends on it).

Gratitude Wednesday

Hiya;
One of the things we are grateful for is our business. It’s just the two of us here at Content X Design. At the start, we published marketing content for small business and inspirational content for adult students. Eventually we moved fully into a small press.

 When family needed us to step into the role of full time caregivers we did grateful for the flexibility of our business. We simply scaled back on publishing books and started publishing pdfs and music that helped us take care of our loved ones.

 Because of that we have an ever-growing line of caregiver resources—Hello Caregiving. And just this year we managed to publish full length books again. We published two poetry collections, Paper Birds and the Anniversary edition of She Too. Along with our first full length activity book, The Handyman Special.

 Business and life go hand-in-hand for us and we are going to keep evolving in our business as we do in life. Because of that, we are publishing our books, as much as possible, through IngramSpark so that our values are inline with our business goals.

 Just in case you are participating in the economic protests and standing with small businesses like ours. All of the book links we have shared above will take you to our Content X Design links on IngramSpark.
