What parents are saying...

"There are no words to express my gratitude for this...it's simply amazing how you make me feel more normal and I can accept myself for what I call my mistakes." – Marbila


"I have had a few of these [meltdown moments] over the past year and the DEEP SHAME I felt (still feel upon remembrance) would make it very difficult to express publicly. I had tears reading this, intimately knowing the feeling of seeing your child's scared face, the tears, the pleading eyes. And the promises to never let that happen again. Thank you for letting us know we are not alone, that we aren't the worst parent that ever lived, that there are ways to adjust the variables so the outcome is different...better." – Karyn


"I am a HUGE list person and my to-do list was just this unending ridiculousness before I read the book! ...It has made me feel way less overwhelmed and like I'm actually making a dent!" – Lindsay


"I hate myself when I raise my voice towards my sweet babies or my husband. It's been such a blessing having your advice coming in. I know I'm at the end of the rope and it was starting to strangle me. Being a Type A personality sucks much; especially when it affects my children. Having grown up in a very abusive household with one parent and a negligent atmosphere on the other household, the very last thing I ever want my children to feel is fear, despair, or helpless." – Lisa


"When you wrote...'A bad parent would never buy a book about how to be a happier parent. That's something only a good parent would do.'

It made tears stream down my face. The 'mama guilt' is fierce and it seems to plague me about every little thing on a daily basis. As a mother, I want to do every single thing perfectly, hence the 'mama guilt' and feelings of being a bad parent sometimes. Thank you so very much for your time, effort, and research that went into this book.

I'm so thankful I found your website and have this book as a guide towards becoming a better person for my family." – Ashley

Stop feeling irritated, frazzled, and overwhelmed.

Here are some typical expectations you may have of yourself as a parent:

  • You want to be a loving parent who guides your kids towards a life of happiness and success.
  • You want to be a supportive partner who listens and does your fair share around the house and surprises your honey with sweet demonstrations of your love.
  • You want to be a rockstar at work, surpassing all your goals and wowing your colleagues with your awesomeness.
  • You want to help out at your kid's school, or start volunteering, or pick up a new hobby because it sounds fun but also because you read trying something new is good for preventing Alzheimer's and you'd really like to avoid that if at all possible. 


...and on and on and on. But you know what?

To meet your expectations of yourself, you’d need 48 hours in a day, and that doesn’t include any time for sleep.

You need help.

You need to set yourself up for success so the chaos of parenting life doesn't drag you back into feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or annoyed all the time.

Let's say you had a goal to eat healthier this year. But when you go the grocery store, you fill your cart with Oreos, Pringles, and three different flavors of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. You aren't going to meet your goal because you haven't set yourself up for success.

Think of this book as filling your cart with nutritious (but still delicious) food. Except instead of healthy food, you'll get the best SCIENCE-BACKED tools for busy parents to help you become your happiest self.

Because happiness won't come from a big promotion at work, or from winning the lottery, or from your kids all learning to put their toys away when they're done playing. Eventually, you just get used to all that stuff. 

True, lasting happiness comes when you set yourself up for success. This book will get you there.

Kelly Holmes

The Book That Will Unlock Your Recipe for Happiness

Hi, I'm Kelly.

I'm a mom to four kids, a Certified Parent Educator, and the author of Happy You, Happy Family.

After my family welcomed our third little one into the mix, we became a family of five with a second-grader, a toddler, and a newborn. Even though I could have used more sleep and way more coffee, we were happy. Then my husband’s paternity leave ended, and I was at home with the kids all day. As time wore on, my patience became razor thin. And one day, I just broke.

The shame burns my cheeks just thinking of that day, even now. But thanks to that experience, I realized I had to make a change. I threw myself into researching how to find happiness in the chaos of parenting. Something beyond “make time for you” and “exercise more.” Because when you’re overwhelmed and at your breaking point, you don’t need the “experts” telling you more stuff to do on top of everything else.

That’s how I discovered the secrets: 10 secrets every parent should know about being happy. After hearing from hundreds of parents in the same boat as me, I knew I needed to share what I discovered. And so I wrote this book: Happy You, Happy Family.

Frequently asked questions...

Q: How am I supposed to fit in reading a book on top of everything else?!

I can barely remember to brush my hair every morning so that panicky feeling of adding One More Thing? I get it.

Here's the truth: Research on time perceptions shows that we typically imagine we'll be less busy in the future. But we're mistaken.

If you want to get off the roller coaster of feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and annoyed at your kids, you need to make a change. And this book shows you the way off that roller coaster.

This book should take you a little over 2 hours total to read, start to finish. Put it on your nightstand, bring it with you to appointments, or stick it in your bathroom (your secret's safe with me), and you'll be done before you know it. But even better, you'll finally be on the right track to becoming your happiest self.
