About Healthy Happy Impactful
When I started healthyhappyimpactful.com, I had the hardest time coming up with a name for the site.
I knew I wanted to support caregivers. But how do you put that into a name?
Finally, I considered my ultimate goals as a mom.
I feel that I’ll be a successful parent if my kids one day live
- healthy
- happy
- and impactful lives
This may look different for each kid. And it certainly doesn’t mean they (or I) will be perfect.
But the name fits. It embodies our highest hopes for our kids. As well as what we can strive for each day. (With our kids, but also for ourselves because we’re the most influential examples in their lives).
The HHI mission is to enrich your family’s daily life. We’re here to give YOU (whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or other caregiver) the support you need.
So, please let me know if there’s anything we can create to make your life a little smoother. Or a little more healthy, happy, and impactful. 😊
