With two little girls, happiness is easy to find these days. When asked to write about how I make Happiness Happen by Happy Family Brands I could easily write a months worth of blog posts but what it all boils down to is seeing the excitement of new activities and the simple pleasures through my girl's eyes.
Here are some of the ways that we made Happiness Happen as a family this past weekend.
At least five out of seven days a week my girls and I will have a dance party. My older daughter will ask if we can dance to her "favorite song" which can be translated into the Madagascar version of "I like to move it, move it". I will put it on repeat and each girl will grab a doll and we will dance in the living room.
Of course no weekend is complete without family time and when you live in Florida going to the beach with kids is so much fun. My girls are now old enough to enjoy playing in the sand (without eating it) and love splashing in the water and collecting shells.
My mom and dad came to visit for a few hours on Saturday and my mom loves to play with my girls. My older daughter and "Memaw" spent at least 30 minutes having a pretend birthday party. I love seeing my daughter use her imagination in such fun ways.
She may not look happy but Memaw bringing her a stethoscope was the highlight of her weekend. She has been asking for one for weeks and my mom secured a disposable one for her (that actually works really well). Everyone got a checkup this weekend and being healthy of course makes us all happy!
By the end of the weekend it's clear that a few small moments add up to our overall happiness. At night my husband and I lay in bed and just recount how lucky we are to have so much happiness in our lives.
