About

Welcome to HappySimple! 

My name is Barb McMahon and I’ve been building this community for just over a year now.

This is where we look for ways to make life easier and better.  There are hints and tips for simplifying, recipes every Thursday, as well as questions to think about as you build your life, a life suited entirely to you.

I explore various philosophies: simplicity, minimalism, environmentalism.  But I don’t embrace any one of them wholesale because in life, one size just doesn’t fit all.

If you’re new here, these have been the five most popular posts so far:   

1. The Best Uncluttering Question EVER
2. The Taste Police Don’t Exist, Either
3. Making Room for Creativity
4. It’s a Matter of Trust
5. How to Live Without a Dishwasher

And these three sum up what this blog is all about:

1. Relax! You’re Fine Just the Way You Are
2. We’re All Just Pottering
3. My Minimalism Includes Feasting

I see this blog as a community effort.  I welcome your comments, your questions, your own point of view.

We also have a nice community growing on Facebook.  It’s where I post links to blog posts and articles I think you’ll find interesting, as well as photo albums of DIY projects, and anything else I think is helpful.  I hope you’ll like the HappySimple Facebook community and help it to grow by recommending it to your friends.

If Twitter is more your thing,  my husband  Alan tweets about food and travel and Barb shows off how happy and inept simple she really is.
