Soap use & storage
Please use a well-draining soap dish with adequate airflow to ensure that your soap dries out properly between uses. Allowing your soap to sit in a puddle of water will quickly turn it to mush and shorten its lifespan significantly (and unnecessarily!).

Story behind the name
This soap directly ties into another one of our soaps: The Adventure Year. In short, 2021 found my daughters and I embarking on one "outdoorsy" adventure each week for the duration of the year. We succeeded in accomplishing our collective New Year's resolution and it was perhaps one of the very best 12 months of my life. This soap is connected to the Adventure Year because during that year we nicknamed ourselves: The Happiness Squad.
It was a challenging time for us, each in our own way, and we were determined to rediscover happiness that year. (Interestingly, as we step into 2025 I'm just now beginning to see physical manifestation of the things we set into motion during the Adventure Year!) But, in typical "us" fashion, we couldn't just be satisfied with "The Happiness Squad," we had to also bestow a title upon each of us. (A title which we may or may not have commemorated with custom pins attached to our adventuring backpacks.)
- Me: Chief Optimist
- Scott: Ace Navigator
- Daughter 1: Quest Coordinator
- Daughter 2: Star Photographer
- Daughter 3: Avian Aficionado
Consequently, this soap is truly special to me and it took me several tries to end up with a design I was pleased with. Now every time I look at it, I remember a year chock-full of Adventures and our quest for lasting purpose and meaning in our lives. (Such a heavy responsibility for such a little bar of soap ;)
