Happy Family and the "Stories from the Bright Side" {#hfbrightside}

Kids. They're curious creatures, aren't they?

From the moment they're born, we're amazed at their beauty, willpower and ability to turn our lives completely upside down. By the time they pass from infancy into toddlers, however, it has become more and more apparent that these tiny humans aren't just extraordinary and fantastic, they're also often a little... perplexing.

You won't leave the house in anything other than your Superman costume? You've fallen asleep while sitting on the potty? You're doing... what to the dog?

And when it comes to eating, we've all been there with the odd, outlandish feeding challenges. The babies that feel the need to wear the food more than eat it, the toddlers that complain about foods that absolutely cannot touch, the big kids that are certain that sandwiches must be cut in particular shapes and that some vegetables are a favorite one day... only to be shunned the next. We've all been there, right?

While I feel fortunate that both of my kids have grown into pretty good eaters, we easily had our fair share of instances where the food ended up... let's just say everywhere else rather than in their mouths.

Well, now instead of stressing over kids and their eating habits, Happy Family is instead shining a humorous light on these issues by taking true stories about little ones and food and bringing them to life with their "Stories from the Bright Side" campaign.

Every mom and dad has had food thrown at them, experienced temper-tantrums, or received flat-out refusal to eat something at some point in their parenting career. But now you can see some of these moments brought to life as Happy Family has partnered with seven bloggers (and their CEO, Shazi Visram) to bring eight of these tales to action…with the help of 12 improv comedians from the acting troupe, the Upright Citizen's Brigade.

Happy Family, known for lovingly devoting a mother's care to crafting premium, organic meals and snacks that nourish our families, truly believes that the ability to laugh, lift your mood, and share a bit of brightness with other parents is the true beauty of the "Stories from the Bright Side" campaign.

And really, it's just not possible to watch these cute videos and not find yourself laughing and nodding along! One of my favorites is that of Happy Family CEO, Shazi Visram:


Hide ice cream at mouth level hanging from string around your house? Where do they come up with these things!

But Happy Family is doing more than simply providing a few laughs for your day, they also want you to participate as well. Simply visit their Facebook page and upload your own funny feeding story for others to see and laugh about (and also to check out other shared tales).

Happy Family is even going to pick a funny feeding story to award $20K towards their child’s college education!

There are some darn cute stories that have been shared already, so be sure to head over to Happy Family today to see if you can relate and then include your own mishaps, messes, tricks, tips and tales. Parenthood is a pretty crazy ride, so we might as well hop on with a grin, right?
