Bring the Happy
There's a whole lot of happy hiding in plain sight!
Welcome to our little corner of the world dedicated to finding the joy, noticing the magic, laughing a little louder, and being right where your feet are.
Meet bring the happy
A joyful, uplifting children’s book that reminds kids (and grown-ups, too) that happiness isn’t something you find, it’s something you choose!
Through playful, encouraging verse, this heartwarming story celebrates gratitude, kindness, love, and the beauty of everyday moments. It gently empowers children to see that they already have everything they need within them to create a wonderful day.
Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom storytime, or meaningful one-on-one moments, Bring the Happy leaves readers feeling confident, capable, and ready to step into the world with joy.
so, what exactly is 'bring the happy?'
Bring the Happy is a reminder that we have more say in the way we experience this life than we sometimes realize.
It’s about being here for it. Choosing what matters. Creating more of what makes us feel alive, connected, peaceful, and joyful, and then bringing that energy with us wherever we go.
Life isn't always happy and it's definitely not always right. It just is. And it's happening now. And my hope is that we're present enough to notice it from time to time.
It's not a set of rules, but rather an ever-loving nudge towards how we want to move through this lil' ol' life of ours.
A little something we can lean on when life wears us out:
The Bring the Happy Manifesto
Conscious decision-making. Radical responsibility. Kindness. Authenticity.
A deep knowing that a joyful experience is in our hands.
Carving out moments of presence. Understanding we bring energy with us wherever we go and we share it with the others around us.
A daily practice and commitment. Nowhere near perfect. Nothing close to fake.
A quiet reminder, cheering you on and lighting the way to more fun, more peace, more love, more contentment, and more deep, soul-filled happy.

Hi, I’m Skye! Writer, mom, business owner, and professional noticer of the good stuff.
I love strong coffee and slow mornings. Sunshine on my face. Sunsets that make me GASP and run inside to grab anyone to come see it with me. Football weekends. Loud, belly-hurting laughter. Long goodbyes that somehow turn into another 30 minutes standing in the driveway. And above everything else, I am madly in love and wildly obsessed with my family.
I’m hyper-aware of how precious this whole LIFE thing is. Not in a make every second magical kind of way (because, I'm not here to stress you out. It's ok to do laundry and execute your adult responsibilities), but in a we get ONE LIFE, here and now, and I want to really max mine out (!!!) kind of way.
I believe a good life doesn’t have to look like anybody else’s. We get to decide what matters to us, what we want more of, what we’re willing to let go of, and what our own version of happy actually looks like.
That belief eventually found its way onto the pages of my first children’s book, Bring the Happy, but it’s been finding its way into my life for a whole lot longer.
And, can I tell you a secret? It's so much bigger than a children's book. We're starting a whole present, positive revolution! Are ya with me?!
