it’s not about the apples

it’s not about the apples

Why, yes – I did fly from NYC to Chicago last week for a road trip to Michigan. Friends and strangers alike have declared me insane for footing the bill for a round-trip plane ticket and three days in a hotel, just to spend seven hours in a car with the end goal of picking…

The featured image in this post is a photo I took with my phone from the window of the train on my way back from Connecticut a couple of months ago.  I’m not quite sure why, but to date, it’s still one of my favorite NYC views (although, in the interest of full disclosure, I…

Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
