Introducing a new weekly series that features one or more things making me happy this week. The idea is inspired by something similar on the podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour which has a been on regular rotation lately. This series is a fun way to step back from the busyness of life and appreciate something small that's bringing a smile to my face. I hope you'll be inspired to take a minute to do the same. 

Making me happy this week:

Homemade pumpkin spice syrup; rocking my coffee mug and my world. You need this in your life now. Yesterday, I stoppped to get coffee after going to spin class (high five!) and, instead of getting a pumpkin spice latte, opted for coffee with steamed milk so I could come home and add my homemade syrup. Also, awesome neighbors who stop by with gifts like homemade pumpkin spice syrup for your coffee.
