I’m “helping” (whatever that means) with the redesign of a website right now, and one of the super-fun tools we’re using to do it is called inVision.  Essentially what I’m doing is creating jpegs that look like what we want various pages of the website to look like, and then using inVision’s crazy cool magic to…

paper cranes

I learned how to make paper cranes today. My grandfather used to make them all the time.  Oh, how he loved them! And I’m not sure why.  Maybe making them just gave him something to do, or was a creative outlet of some sort.  There is something rather mesmerizing about the process – all those…

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.
