The Secret to Happiness Wasn't What I Thought

For years, I thought happiness would come once I got everything right and was successful. But the way I viewed success was flawed.
For me, happiness is found in the rhythm of my hands in the dough, the nourishing foods I get to prepare for my children, and the choice to be fully present. It's not about being "busy," but about being meaningfully busy; investing my time in the health and joy of my family.

In this video, I'm sharing a real, quiet morning in our kitchen as I prep a healthy, from-scratch breakfast for my family. The kids wander in and out, and amidst the gentle chaos, I share a reflection on why I chose the stay-at-home mom lifestyle and how I found that the true key to happiness is to slow down and savor these ordinary moments.

✨ Why I Love This Life:
Choosing to be a stay-at-home mom wasn't about giving up a career; it was about choosing a different kind of work—one of heart and home. Cooking from scratch, creating a warm home, and being there for the little moments are my daily acts of love. This video is a peek into that commitment to intentional living and family connection.
