Meagan Francis, Publisher & Creator

Hi! I’m Meagan, a writer and mother of five who has been honing the fine art of satisfaction during my sixteen-plus-year evolution into a (usually) happy mom. Here on The Happiest Home, I share what I’ve learned-and am still learning-about life, family, motherhood, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m glad to have you here-and hope you stick around.

In addition to caring for my family, I work with words: as a blogger, writer, and author. My articles and essays appear regularly in publications like Parenting, Parents, American Baby, and Pregnancy and on websites like Babble.com and iVillage.

I’m the author of four books, including The Happiest Mom: Ten Secrets To Enjoying Motherhood, published in April of 2011. I live with my husband Jon and five kids in St. Joseph, MI, a lovely little city on Lake Michigan. You can also find me on Twitter.

Hi, I’m Sarah, a writer, editor and mom to three. Here at The Happiest Home I’m the Managing Editor as well as a regular contributor. My writing has been published in magazines and on websites such as The Huffington Post, Babble, and Scary Mommy. 

As a writer and a reader I am interested in the place where the serious and the silly intersect, because my life as a mom includes those big, powerful “aha!” moments and many, many small slices of hilarity in between — and I happen to think both can be instructive and meaningful. I love the world of online parenting writing for allowing moms to write, share and hear stories from from perspectives as varied as each of our experiences. 

I enjoy high ponytails, Broadway showtunes, and using my kids as an excuse to stay in and go to bed early, which I would do anyway. I was once-and this is totally true-a professional ballerina. You can find more of me on Twitter and on my personal blog, Powers of Mine.
