Gretchen Rubin and I are definitely kindred spirits. I am a homebody, embrace my neighborhood, and regularly enjoy the cosy comfort of my home. I finally have a home environment that I looked forward to returning to everyday. In Happier at Home, I found many resolutions that I could add to my own life to increase my enjoyment in my home.
