Hi, friends!
Did you know today is Take Your Kids to Work Day? I bet you know if you’re taking your kiddos into the office with you today! Around here, everyday is take your kids to work day because my little ones are always around while I’m working. Luckily, my hubby is on patrol while I’m upstairs in my office – but even though I work from home, I still feel like I’m missing out with the kids. It’s a classic case of mom guilt, I absolutely love my job, but I sometimes get torn about making the choice to work and not “stay home” with the kids.
I feel like to remedy this, I have to make good use of the time I do have with my kids. Make every moment count. We love doing fun things together as a family, and when I was chosen to be a HERSHEY’S Ambassador I was so excited because – hello, chocolate – but also because I knew it could lead to some fun activities to do with my kiddos! HERSHEY’S is trying to encourage families to choose happy – to find little moments in their day to just take a moment to smile.
For us, our Hello happy moment was to spend time together building treats! It was something simple, easy to set up, and FUN. We were sent a box with some HERSHEY’S products and we set them out on the table with the idea of building “sandwiches” – I don’t know why, but my kiddos LOVE making pretend sandwiches, so we just went with it! We all sat at the table together for over an hour laughing and making various “sandwiches” and I’ll tell you what – it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time!
On Take Your Kids to Work Day (today, April 28), Hershey’s is trying to remind people that happiness is a choice. You have to wake up each day and choose it. They’re encouraging everyone to celebrate “Hello Happy Moments” – the intimate moments of happy that we choose each and every day. These moments are so important, because they create memories that will last forever. Every parent has the ability to just enjoy fun, random moments with their kiddos, don’t you agree?

I choose to find my happy moment today while I’m eating dinner with my children. Some of our best moments are shared while eating dinner together after a long day apart.
Is this contest open to Canadians? Those “sandwiches” look delicious. I think cooking or preparing meals with the family is a great bonding activity. My happy moment usually involves slipping outside to the backyard for about 30 minutes and bringing my book, but it’s a bit too cold to do that today!
I will choose to find my happy moment today by enjoying taking my sweet dog outside even though it is freezing cold and snowing still, it’s a true blessing to have unconditional love from something that is aka ways happy to see you.❤️
*always happy 🙂
I really think that it is important to have Happy Moments with the people that you love! These are moments that you can cherish and hold in your memory banks.
Your little ones are so cute! I love Hershey products they are amazing and often come with happy memories! We love to make Smore’s with Hershey bars in the summer time on our fire pit with friends!
Awww I love this post! I love that you brought up finding your Happy Moments! Mine was taking my sweet little boy to Toddler Time today. He loves being around his friends, singing songs and making crafts. He helps me find joy in the little things! Crossing our fingers…we can’t get enough Hershey’s over here! 🙂
Being a work-at-home mom is so tough — but you’re right, we need to make the most of our moments and choose happiness! Sometimes those small moments are the ones that are remembered the most and mean the most in the long run. Plus, you can’t go wrong when there is chocolate involved!
any day with chocolate is a happy day! 😉
After the really frustrating and upset day I’ve had I will find my happy moment when my husband comes home and I know he’ll walk in the door and give me a huge hug for as long as I need. That’s what my happy moment for today will be! Looks like everyone had a great time with the s’mores!
I will choose to find my happy moment today by spending quality time with my husband. (:
Smores are definitely a childhood rite of passage!! So delicious and sweet!! Using Hershey everything is a MUST!
I will have a happy moment by making a chocolate cake! I have a chocolate applesauce cake that uses cocoa, but I’m all out of applesauce, so it’s going to be a chocolate banana cake instead. Still delicious! BTW, your little one is adorable!
This is so cool. You have such a sweet family and those pictures are adorable. I am craving Hershey’s now and I can’t wait to get to the store again! I am adding them to my shopping list and entering this giveaway! I think this would be fun for the whole family, that is if I share!
my son coming home from school and downloading his day is a happy moment for me
To find happy moments, I will enjoy time with my family
The key to my happy moments are listening to my favorite songs, running with my dog and grabbing food with my mom!
Working from home does have certain disadvantages. Sometimes I feel like I’m doing my children a disservice by sitting in the same room, but mentally miles away. My happiest moments are when my girls come over and give me a quick kiss or sit on my lap while I’m working and just let mommy know they love her. I try to do the same every so often!
Today I treated myself to a fancy coffee after being nervous about an interview!
Today it is raining so I will find my happy moment by staying inside and enjoying the weather from the comfort of my mice and dry living room.
I find my happy moment when my family is around the dinner table. Telling stories about their day is my favorite part.
My happiest moments are when I’m doing something fun with my family. I adore my kiddos and my husband and we are a happy little unit that likes to explore, adventure, and grow together!
My happy moment was going to the park with my husband and 2 shelties.
If I am having a bad day I try and find something little to make the day better by either stopping at my favorite lunch spot, having an iced mocha, or watching my favorite TV show.
My daughters and I are spending a night out on the town!
I love getting the kids in the kitchen to help me cook. They genuinely enjoy it so I get to spend my time in the kitchen (which I love!) AND spend quality time with them at the same time!
I found the happy moment today when my 9yo son voluntarily gave up his gaming to help me put together a 1000 piece puzzle. 🙂
Aww this would make me have a happy moment too! That looks so good and your family is adorable!
By always being in the moment when spending time with my family!
We played outside with the dogs, went to the park and grilled burgers.
We’ll take the dogs to the lake for a walk….that always makes us all happy.
I’ll find my happiest moment by hugging my husband and my daughter.
I try to find the humor in all situations.
I will find my happy time today by playing a game with our little one after school! We always love to do that and have so much fun playing board games!
I will choose to find my happy moment today by taking 30 minutes and sitting in my happy nook and read. No distractions and a cup of hot cocoa…yes, it’s still 48 degrees here in Michigan so hot cocoa on a Spring day 🙂
I will be getting my happy moment on Friday when it’s family movie night. My husband, kids and I make pizza from scratch, pop corn and candy galore and watch a movie and snuggle.
I will find my happy moment when I get home and go to my daughter’s dance recital. She’s been practicing non stop and she’s only 3. Too cute for words.
I’ll find my happy moment when I spend time putting my son to bed.
my happy moment was going to the gym!
