When I went to Chicago last month we had a lot of fun making a Happimess with Gale Gand. We cooked, we made friends & we had fun.
The entire theme of “Happimess” has been inspiring to me. At the event they asked me “What does Happimess mean to you”?
It took me a minute and then I realized. For me, Happimess is all about being in the moment with my children. Allowing them to dig in the mud, jump in puddle, get their hands dirty. Yes they end up a mess, but they’re happy and we do after all have sinks for hand washing and baths when things are a little more messy. That’s what they’re there for after all! To clean up the happimesses.
I wanted to pass the Happimess feeling onto others so I planned a Mommy & Me Baking Party. I decided on Double Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins.
We Baked. The kids got messy. We got messy.
The dishes got messy. We cleaned.
We ate. We enjoyed every moment. It was a Happimess.
Here’s the recipe so you can have a Happimess of your own.

When it was all said and done we cleaned the kids up (much to their dismay, they were quite content eating batter). And Mason my helpful little guy helped me do the dishes. He loves our Delta Faucet and it makes cleaning up any mess a breeze, especially when we’ve all got messy hands which for the record, is bound to happen when you bake with kids!
What does Happimess mean to you?
Why do people treat mess like it’s a bad thing? It’s actually the evidence of a life well lived. When you’re out there making, creating, doing and playing, embrace your #HappiMess and let Delta kitchen and bath innovations help clean up so you can do it all again tomorrow.

I guess I could exchange the milk chocolate chips for dark in these, but I would still keep the white in too. Awesome mixture of flavor in these, I bet these would be gone in a flash.
