Often when we think of summer, we think of relaxing days at the beach, sunny family picnics and celebrating the 4th of July. But sometimes, summertime can prove to be a little bit stressful for moms and families who are trying to juggle summer activities, summer schedules and family time.

If you’re looking for ways to get the most out of summer, then join @HAPPYsuperfoods for their #HFStresslessSummer Twitter Party on Tuesday, July 2nd at 9pm ET! They will be joined by author @DrLynneKenney to chat about ways to reduce stress and enjoy all the summer has to offer. In addition to getting some great tips & advice throughout the hour, participants will be entered to win prizes from Happy Family, Citrus Lane, Baby Boot Camp, Weleda, Munchkin, bibbitec, and copies of Dr. Kenney’s digital book, Bloom! (NO RSVP REQUIRED! Must be a U.S. resident over 18 to win. See official rules here.)

Do you know a lot about Happy Family? If you’re a mom, chances are your kids have sampled their healthy & delicious foods for babies, tots, kids. Or maybe you’ve tried one of their Happy Squeezes - their product line for adults? If so, you might already know that one reason mom’s love Happy Family Baby Foods is because they are organic and 100% natural, made without any pesticides or preservatives.

But did you also know that Happy Family is also a community committed to the well-being of families? It’s called “Generation Happy” and through Happy Family you can take the Generation Happy Pledge, get special VIP offers and connect with other moms in your area and all over the world who are as committed to their children’s health and well-being as you are!
