As part of the Fun-A-Day Boston January project, I have been taking photographs of my home and all of the things in it that bring me joy. In my Week 1 update, I wrote about my inspiration for my focus, my home.

As a quick recap, I was incredibly inspired by Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and went through an exercise this year where I held every item in my home in my hands to determine if it brought me joy. It was incredibly rewarding and made my home even more so my sanctuary.

Here are the items I have photographed to date:
