Transcript:Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding og kiggede ud på de gyldne blade, der blidt faldt fra træerne i den stille forstadskvarter.En: Freja took a deep breath and looked out at the golden leaves gently falling from the trees in the quiet suburban neighborhood.Da: Solen kastede et blødt lys hen over hendes spisestue, hvor lysene var tændt, og bordet var pænt dækket.En: The sun cast a soft light across her dining room, where the lights were on, and the table was neatly set.Da: Hun smilte til sig selv.En: She smiled to herself.Da: Middagen var klar, og hun glædede sig til en hyggelig aften med sin lille familie og sin bror Mikkel, der var på besøg fra København.En: The dinner was ready, and she looked forward to a cozy evening with her small family and her brother Mikkel, who was visiting from København.Da: Mikkel dukkede straks op med sin traditionelle venlige energi, "Hej, Freja!En: Mikkel appeared immediately with his usual friendly energy, "Hi, Freja!Da: Det dufter dejligt her!"En: It smells wonderful in here!"Da: sagde han og gav hende et stort kram.En: he said and gave her a big hug.Da: Ved bordet sad hendes datter, Signe, allerede spændt.En: At the table sat her daughter, Signe, already excited.Da: Hun elskede, når onkel Mikkel kom på besøg.En: She loved it when Uncle Mikkel came to visit.Da: Freja satte maden på bordet og sagde: "Velbekomme alle sammen."En: Freja placed the food on the table and said, "Enjoy your meal, everyone."Da: De begyndte at spise, og stemningen var afslappet, fyldt med latter og historier om Mikkels seneste eventyr i storbyen.En: They began to eat, and the atmosphere was relaxed, filled with laughter and stories of Mikkel's latest adventures in the big city.Da: Men pludselig ændrede alt sig.En: But suddenly everything changed.Da: Signe begyndte at hoste voldsomt.En: Signe began to cough violently.Da: "Mor, jeg har det ikke godt," kvækkede hun og greb om sin hals.En: "Mom, I don't feel well," she croaked, grabbing her throat.Da: Frejas hjerte sprang et slag over.En: Freja's heart skipped a beat.Da: Allergiske reaktioner var ikke nyt for Signe, men det var sjældent de kom så pludseligt og voldsomt.En: Allergic reactions weren't new for Signe, but it was rare for them to come on so suddenly and violently.Da: "Mikkel!"En: "Mikkel!"Da: sagde Freja hastigt, "Ring til 112 nu!"En: said Freja hastily, "Call 112 now!"Da: Han sprang op fra sin stol og greb sin telefon, men han tøvede, da han indså, at han ikke kendte stedets adresse.En: He jumped up from his chair and grabbed his phone, but hesitated when he realized he didn't know the address of the place.Da: Freja forblev rolig, trods panikken der truede med at overmande hende.En: Freja remained calm, despite the panic threatening to overwhelm her.Da: "Det er på skærmen i entréen," instruerede hun, mens hun hurtigt tog fat i førstehjælpskassen.En: "It's on the screen in the entryway," she instructed, while quickly grabbing the first aid kit.Da: Signe sad nu med anstrengt vejrtrækning, og Freja begyndte at give hende førstehjælp.En: Signe was now breathing laboriously, and Freja began to administer first aid.Da: Mikkel fik endelig fat i ambulancetjenesten og forklarede situationen.En: Mikkel finally reached the emergency services and explained the situation.Da: Udenfor hørtes hurtigt sirenerne nærme sig.En: Outside, the sirens quickly approached.Da: Just som Signe's tilstand blev værre, dukkede det medicinske personale op ved døren.En: Just as Signe's condition worsened, the medical personnel appeared at the door.Da: Tiden føltes som en evighed, men de professionelle trådte hurtigt til og gav Signe den nødvendige behandling.En: Time felt like an eternity, but the professionals quickly stepped in and provided Signe with the necessary treatment.Da: Freja kunne endelig trække vejret dybt igen.En: Freja could finally breathe deeply again.Da: Mens Signe blev stabiliseret, samledes alle omkring hende.En: As Signe was stabilized, everyone gathered around her.Da: Deres hjerter bankede stadig hurtigt, men der var en fælles følelse af lettelse.En: Their hearts were still racing, but there was a shared feeling of relief.Da: "Du klarede det godt, søs," sagde Mikkel stille og klappede Freja på skulderen.En: "You did well, sis," said Mikkel quietly, patting Freja on the shoulder.Da: Da de alle sad sammen efter lidt tid, mærkede Freja en ny styrke indeni sig selv.En: As they all sat together after a while, Freja felt a new strength within herself.Da: Forsamlingen, der engang bare skulle være en hyggelig middag, viste sig at være en stærk påmindelse om familie og det bånd, der binder dem.En: The gathering, which was once just meant to be a cozy dinner, turned out to be a strong reminder of family and the bond that ties them.Da: Mikkel talte tint om at blive i et par dage for at hjælpe til, og Freja vidste nu, at uanset udfordringerne, kunne de klare dem sammen.En: Mikkel spoke tentatively about staying for a few days to help out, and Freja now knew that no matter the challenges, they could face them together.Da: Aftenen blev indhyllet i efterårsbladene igen, men den kærlighed og beslutsomhed, der var vokset, lyste klart i deres lille hjem.En: The evening was enveloped in autumn leaves again, but the love and determination that had grown shone brightly in their little home.

Hey! If we're being honest, soup season is basically the best season — cozy sweaters, warm bowls, and yes, perfectly paired wine. I had so much fun chatting through these with Topher and dreaming up combos that actually make the soup sing (and sometimes calm the heat from sriracha). Here are the highlights, like I'm telling you over a bowl on my kitchen counter.Chili: Go fuller-bodied. Think an Argentinian or Chilean Malbec — it's got that smoky, peppery vibe and enough fruit to stand up to tomato tang, meatiness, and bean earthiness. Imagine cornbread, chili, and a glug of Malbec — chef's kiss.Pho: Versatile depending on how you dress it, but a slightly off-dry Gewürztraminer is brilliant if you load it up with heat (it tames spice). If you're keeping it clean and herb-forward, a crisp rosé is unexpectedly perfect — light, refreshing, and matches the broth without overpowering the basil and cilantro.Bread-bowl French Onion: Rich, savory, and cheesy — you want something that complements without crushing it. An Oregon Pinot Noir with bright red fruit and savory undernotes is a lovely match; it's lush but not heavy, so the soup's sweetness and the bread bowl's heft stay balanced.Campbell's Chicken Noodle (comfort sick-day vibes): Skip the wine and try a hot toddy — warming whiskey, honey, lemon, maybe hot apple cider and a cinnamon stick. It feels medicinal in the best, coziest way and is exactly the kind of thing you'll want with nostalgic, soothing soup.Mediterranean Lemon Chicken with Orzo: I love a regional match — Xinomavro (red) if you're leaning earthy/complex, or Assyrtiko (white) for bright lemon zest, sea-spray salinity, and minerality that plays so well with lemon-and-orzo broths. Full disclosure: I also poured in a couple cups of boxed Sauvignon Blanc while winging the recipe, and honestly — it works. Cook with your heart.Loaded Baked Potato Soup: A lightly oaked Chardonnay — think subtle creaminess, not buttery overload (look for lighter malolactic influence or a Montrachet-style restraint). It mirrors the soup's richness without turning it into a dairy duel.Okay, I'm starving now — tell me your go-to soup and I'll tell you what I'd pour. Slurp it up, friend.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear cozy rainfall on a tent. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor. The sounds provided by ASMR Sleep Recordings are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus. Consult your doctor if you regularly have severe sleeping problems, experience fitful/restless sleep or feel tired during the day.ASMR Sleep Recordings is the white noise and nature sounds podcast to help you sleep, study or soothe a baby.

Today's episode is a solo deep dive into one of the biggest decisions you'll face on your cabin journey: should you renovate an existing property or build from scratch? This question came up recently when one of my best friends started asking about investing in a second property, and I realized how many of you might be wrestling with this same choice right now. While I love interviewing other folks in the cabin world, I'm finding that these focused solo episodes help those of you looking for specific, targeted answers as you get started on your own cabin and short-term rental hosting journey.I'm speaking from direct experience here—I've done both. My first primary home was a full gut renovation, a $65,000 mill house in Durham, North Carolina that I brought back to life. Then came Cozy Rock, our ground-up build that's now our highest revenue generator and honestly, my favorite place to be in the world. Most recently, we tackled Cozy Coast in Boothbay Harbor, a 195-year-old property where we're discovering design choices from another era and making decisions that pay respect to the people who lived there before us. Each project taught me something different about the unique advantages and very real challenges of renovation versus new construction.This isn't about which option is "better"—there's no universal right answer here. Instead, we're going to walk through the practical realities of both paths. We'll talk about cost considerations (and why I'm skeptical of "good deals" in real estate), the character that comes with breathing life back into an old space versus the creative freedom of a blank slate, the infrastructure challenges you'll face with each approach, and why finding the right builder might be the single most important decision you make. I'll also share some hard truths, like how 50 to 75% of people I've talked to who've been part of a build have borderline horror stories, and why digging a well can cost anywhere from $7,000 to $50,000 with no way to predict which end of that spectrum you'll land on. Whether you're drawn to the path of least resistance or ready to chase a dream that doesn't yet exist, this episode will help you think through which approach might be the right fit for where you are in your life right now.Instagram: @cozyrockcabin Cozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051 Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FgMwAgvORd1IwlH1nlC9g

We're back (finally!) after a little break — in the middle of a branding glow-up and, oh yeah, Julie had a baby. So naturally, we're kicking things off with our favorite annual episode: the Holiday Gift Guide. We're talking cozy pajamas, nostalgic photo albums, the viral gadget saving us from our phone addictions, and the small luxuries that make everyday life a little softer. It's part gift inspo, part sister catch-up, and full of the banter you didn't know you missed. Grab your peppermint mocha, throw on your comfiest sweats, and let's make this year's gifting both intentional and a little delusional.

A dash of mystery, a sparkle of magic, and all things cozy! Elle interviews fellow cozy authors in this bookish podcast from Authors on the Air. Today on the podcast, meet Emily Krempholtz, author of the upcoming cozy fantasy romance Violet Thistlewaite is Not a Villain Anymore! Elle and Emily talk about redemption arcs, the joy of side characters, the ultimate scrapbook of stories, and more. Happy listening! Emily's Bio: Emily Krempholtz is an author, editor, book coach, ghostwriter, and storyteller. When she's not writing, Emily loves to hike, travel, ride horses, bake bread, decorate cakes, play board games, and drink more tea than is probably healthy. She reads just about as many fantasy and romance novels as she can get her hands on, and spends a lot of time camped out in her neighborhood cafes, writing. Emily lives in sunny Colorado, where you can usually find her in the mountains—either hiking (and pretending to be a character in a novel) or curled up in a hammock with a good book (and also pretending to be a character in a novel). She's on a lifelong quest to discover the magic in the world, and has a sneaking suspicion that the written word is where she'll find it. Find Emily's Website and Books Here: https://emilykrempholtz.com/ ~~~ Elle Hartford's Bio: Elle Hartford writes cozy mystery with a fairy tale twist. The award-winning first book in her Alchemical Tales series, Beauty and the Alchemist, finds amateur sleuth Red mixed up with murderous beasts and moody beauties, and a set of missing books besides! Elle has also written two spin-off series, the cozy fantasy-goes-to-the-beach Marine Magic series as well as Pomegranate Cafe Romance. For other writers and authors looking into “wide” indie publishing, Elle offers coaching as well as the Beyond Writing blog (ellehartford.substack.com) with how-tos and resources.

Send us a textCrossing into Washington state when you're on the northbound Pacific Crest Trail, or NOBO, is a milestone–a damn smile-stone. Crossing the Bridge of the Gods with no proper pedestrian path is akin to Frogger. But once across, you might have the urge to fling your arms up to the sky and shout a victory hoot. After replenishing your supplies in town you hit the trail again, and that's when Washington hits, and hits hard. The conditions and terrain change fast. Just when you're ready to call it quits, the next peak comes into view, coaxing you north. Alone in your tent? You wonder if you'll survive the cold that night, kicking yourself for not setting out a month earlier. You fall asleep imagining your trail family is camped out in tents beside yours. But some of them pulled the pin on the trail days earlier. And you're left missing them like a phantom limb.Let's get into it.Washington's nickname is the Evergreen State. Doesn't that sound inviting? Cozy even? Sweet, like a week at summer camp? Well, Washington is no laughing matter.Washington has serious weather, active volcanoes, not to mention creepy lore about UFOs, Bigfoot, globs raining down on towns, teen vampires and werewolves and the all-too-real-serial killers. This is where all that subreddit-binging catches up with you. What seemed entertaining in the safety of your bedroom, funny even, alone on the trail, far removed from population center, those stories flood your imagination. Add a little fog, the cries of an owl, not spotting another hiker for a few miles, and the trail can feel brutal and endless.  Show Sources and MaterialsI just hiked 90 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail on McDoubles, GorillaTaco, YouTubePacific Crest Trail Horror Stories 2024, HalfwayAnywhere.comDiscovering the Spooky Side of Washington: Haunted Hikes in the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Adventure ClubA 'haunted hike' brings a Washington disaster to life, Courtney Flatt, Northwest Public BroadcastingI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

Welcome to this ASMR 8 books I read in October, featuring soft spoken chit chat and cozy book sounds. I'll go through each book I read including fantasy, romance, and thriller books and also my rating for each one. I hope you enjoy!

Autumn may have more cozy signifiers than any other season—though we all have our own favorites. Maybe for you it's sweater weather, football games, spooky season, apple picking, leaf peeping, or mainlining candy corn. Whatever it is, in today's episode we're looking closely at three of these autumnal staples. First, we get to the bottom of a recurring complaint about the taste of the pumpkin spice latte. Then we gaze deep inside the enigma hiding inside colorful fall leaves. Finally we ask some hard-hitting questions about the seasonal availability of an elusive cookie. Snuggle up and enjoy! In this episode, you'll hear from author and podcaster Don Martin who has a new audiobook out about loneliness called Where Did Everybody Go?. We also speak with Simcha Lev-Yadun, professor of botany and archeology; Susanne Renner, botanist and honorary professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis; and Prospect Park Alliance arborist Malcom Gore. And you'll also hear from Lauren Tarr, who runs the blog Midlife Moxie and Muscle, and her mother Grace Dewey, along with Caroline Suppiger, brand manager at Mondelēz. We'd also like to thank Brian Gallagher, Tom Arnold, Sylvie Russo and Laura Robinson. This episode was produced by Katie Shepherd.
