10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week

Happy Saturday! Today I'm linking up with Charlotte for a weekly happy and grateful list link up.


1. I lit my first candle for the fall/winter season, and it brought me so much joy. In fact, I can't remember the last time I lit a candle besides a birthday candle. I have all these candles that I either bought or received as gifts, but have yet to light them. This season, I'm in my candle era, and I plan to light a candle every evening. 

2. I recently learned about Fridge Finder, which is a website/app that allows people to find community fridges that contain free food in New York. I think it would be so cool to have this all over the country. 

3. John and I played a few rounds of Guess Who? and tried to teach Raphael how to play the game. I hadn't played Guess Who? in years, and it was so exciting to play it again. In fact, we (mainly me) haven't played many other board games in a while, but we plan to change that. There's just something about playing board games during fall and winter that soothes me. 

4. A song on repeat: Golden Brown x Love Story (Slowed and Reverb). I really like this mashup. 



7. I returned a stack of library books and can't wait until the next batch of books I've placed on hold is ready to be picked up. One of the books I plan to read next is I Remember Nothing by Nora Ephron.

8. On the wishlist: This Speckled Ceramic Stubby Candle Holder. Also, this Brass Garland Golden Leaf Garland would look perfect around the candle holder. Shout out to Joanna Goddard of Cup of Jo and Big Salad for recommending this on The Good Trade's newsletter

9. The results of the November 4, 2025, elections gave me some hope. May people continue to ensure their voices are heard and continue to vote in every election.

10. I'm so glad it's the weekend, and it's going to be a much-needed, laid-back weekend, which I'm grateful for. 

What made you happy this week?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...
