Great little reminder about the need to stay happy. I try to do this with my life becacause children are exposed to enough negativity outside of the home.
We all need to stay happy and look on the bright side. We have so many things in our lives each day that we need to be thankful for. God is so good. Thank you so much for sharing
Love this video. I agree that a lot of the times we don’t think about how our reactions/moods/actions affect our children on a day to day basis. I love that your daughter said she was happy to see you happy. That is very sweet and very observant.
We have to show our children how to stay positive and lead by example!
Mommies need to work at being happy much more than many of us, but we all need to stay as happy as we can.

For sure! xo
What a great video. It is so important to stay positive and happy. One thing I taught my daughter is to always try and find something funny or positive about every situation. She’s 20 and told me that has gotten her through a lot of tough times.

I love that Rita! I teach my kids the same thing so I’m glad to hear that your daughter has relied on that skill during tough times. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
This is really great! Thanks for sharing!

Happiness is the best gift we can give our children… and ourselves. <3
Such great tips for everyone! I love to always try and stay positive and happy. That makes such a huge difference for everyone around you!

So true Starla! It really does affect everyone you come into contact with… they can feel your positivity shining through.

I’m glad to hear that Megan! 🙂
Carin you statements are so true. Our kids want to be us so we are obligated to show them the best self we can be.

For sure! xo
Great message and one that I really needed to hear. Lately I’ve been so wrapped up in my own long list of things that need to be done, deadlines to meet, etc, that I’ve become stressed out and unhappy. I’ve seen my kids pick up on that negative energy and they’ve been more on edge too. Time to refocus and be my best self for them! Loved your video and keep the positive messages coming! 🙂

Hi Christin! Kids definitely do pick up on that stuff… thanks so much for the feedback and for stopping by! xo
You’re absolutely right, our kids are always watching us even when we don’t think they’re watching. I think it’s so sweet that she was able to share with you that she’s happy and feels good because mommy is happy. We’re our children’s role model so we need to be the example for them on how we want them to be. Great video and I look forward to more. 🙂

So true! Thanks Siobhan. 😀
That is so sweet! Sometimes we don’t realize how much of an impact we have on our children. They may not always say anything but they are definitely always watching. And I love that I see that in their loving interactions with each other. Thanks for the reminder!
Author
Definitely always watching… their interactions with each other are so sweet, love watching them too. 😉
thats so nice your daughter said that and glad you started making vlogs
Author
Thanks Krystel! I appreciate you saying that. 🙂
That’s so sweet that your daughter said that! I think kids pick up so much from us as moms. They can definitely tell if mom’s not happy, cause like they say…if Mom’s not happy, no one’s happy!
Author
Haha I know that’s right!
Love it. New sub 🙂 Also, you’re so pretty!

*blushing* Thank you Britney! xo
I try to always stay smiling and positive. I encourage my kids in all they do and we all work at trying to always find that silver lining!

Love it!
Such a great reminder. It goes hand in hand with how we view our body image. Loving ourselves and our bodies and just being happy as mothers, in general, truly does have such a profound effect on our children.
Author
Great point Nicole! Body image is soooo important.
I thought the video was great and I think it is important to not only know that its ok to be Happy but its also nice to hear that from out children, its just a reconition to us..
