7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 56): grace, exhaustion, and thought-provoking whatnot

— 1 — The year-long birthday celebration is still going on, and the present I got this week is hilarious (tho I’m not quite sure if it’s meant to be a coffee cup or a wine glass):   — 2 — Every now and again, I find a movie so sweet and endearing that I know…

missing Christmas

missing Christmas

I have a confession to make. It’s January 22nd, and my Christmas tree is still up.  I just haven’t been able to bring myself to put it away yet. Advent and the 12 days of Christmas that follow have always been, by far, my absolute most favorite time of the year, but this year, I feel…

Meet Happy
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. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
