Things that make me happy..

These are just a few of the things bringing a smile to my face right now:

1) Organization. I present, a little before-and-after that makes my heart sing (GAH cannot. stand. clutter):

Before: a messy slew of shoes every time I walk in the door, to trip over!

After: Ahhh so much better. 

2) Living near the Smithsonian Museums:

3) My aunt and uncle joining us for Thanksgiving, then taking us to the Building Museum:

4) Creative holiday wrapping ideas, from Pinterest:

I'm the next Martha Stewart! Not really..

Yes, I'm that annoying neighbor who has all their Christmas decorations up this early, so I'll be sharing soon.
