    Be Thought-full

    Be Thought-full

    Since my kids were young, I’ve found myself reminding them often to just be thoughtful.

    To me the word meant more than just kind or caring.  It meant be mindful, attentive and full of thought and awareness of the person or people around you.   

    In a world full of many spoken words, but often with little thought, it’s a conversation we feel compelled to have.   

    Thoughtfulness goes a long way!
    It might sounds serious but we’re all about bringing the Happy so we have some laughs too!  

    Let’s talk about it!

    Make a Happy Home

    Make a Happy Home

    We’re back with a special 2 part episode titled, well, Make A Happy Home!
    Whether you’ve been listening from the beginning or you’re just joining in, we’re going back to the basics and talking about what makes a happy home….family, kids, life, whatever!  
    We believe there’s no formula for happiness and that no matter the circumstances you get to choose it.  
    There are also no two families that are alike so no two families will operate the same way or find the same things to be fun, so it’s all about the connection!  

    Stop comparing and find joy in your unique family and relationships!

    The Art of Talking Less (But Saying More)

    The Art of Talking Less (But Saying More)

    Is it just us or does it feel like we live in a culture where talking is valued more than listening?  I'm sure we all have simply wonderful things to say, but if everyone is talking, then who is really listening? 

    Join us today as we talk (hopefully not too much) about how listening with the right kind of motivation can really cause our relationships to flourish as we are able to know the people around us better.  Of course, when you know someone better, you will know how to better communicate with them on a deeper level!

    We look forward to connecting with you over on Instagram where we're engaging the question of happiness every day!
