Little Things Making Me Happy This Week
This week has been filled with those small-but-special moments that make everyday life feel a little sweeter — the kind that remind me to slow down and enjoy where I am. Between planning a quick trip, refreshing a few spaces at home, and getting ready for the holidays, I’ve found myself smiling over the simplest updates.
Here are a few little things making me happy right now…
The Plaid Ruffler Shirt for Nashville
I found the prettiest plaid ruffler shirt that feels just right for my upcoming Nashville trip. It’s classic, feminine, and pairs perfectly with denim and boots — one of those easy pieces that make packing so much more fun.
The Large Square Coffee Table That Changed My Living Room
I finally added a large square coffee table, and it completely transformed my living room. It fills the space so beautifully and gives the room a cozy, balanced feel. It’s technically an outdoor piece made of faux woven wicker, but I love how it adds a relaxed, coastal touch indoors — and it’s perfect for entertaining.
New Bamboo Dining Chairs
I switched out the end chairs at my dining table for a pair made of bamboo, and I’m in love with the texture and warmth they bring to the room. They give my space that casual, coastal feel I adore, while still feeling polished enough for hosting.
Velvet Pillow Covers in the Prettiest Shade of Blue
Sometimes the smallest change makes the biggest difference. I found velvet pillow covers in the dreamiest shade of blue — soft, elegant, and so serene. They instantly freshened up the whole space and feel perfect for this cozy season.
My Precious Grandson
Our little one is already full of smiles — it’s the sweetest thing. He looks right at us like he wants to join the conversation, and it melts my heart every single time. Being “Grandma Desi” has brought a new kind of joy I didn’t even know I was missing.
Family Dinner, Puerto Rican Style
We had a big family dinner this weekend, Puerto Rican-style — and my Italian husband cooked it! It was one of those evenings filled with laughter, conversation, and the best mix of cultures coming together around the table. These are the moments that make home feel extra special this time of year.
