Welcome to The Happy Handful, a blended family blog where we navigate the beautiful chaos of life together! I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my husband is a ship captain who’s often away for work, making our days full, lively, and anything but dull. I joined this family in 2020, bringing with me two children, while my husband has a daughter from his previous relationship. Now, we're adding a new little one to the mix, creating an exciting 8, 11, and 16-year age gap among our kids!
On this family lifestyle blog, we share our journey as a blended family, offering parenting blog insights, new baby guidance, and our favorite baby and kid products. We also discuss the little joys (and challenges) of blended life. As a Canadian–US family who loves to travel, we invite you to join us on our adventures, exploring new destinations and experiences—everything that makes life rich and fun. Here, you’ll find real-life parenting tips and stories that reflect the unique experiences of our blended family.
