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…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol.16): FYIs and conversations

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol.16): FYIs and conversations

— 1 — Guess what: it’s still Friday!  (At least while I’m writing this first of my 7 Quick Takes.)  I call that victory, compared to last week.  (Hey, I’ll take victory where I find it, lol.  I’ve written twice in eight days.  That’s a win.) All joking aside, the truth of the matter is:…

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.
