My two bundles of joy bring me happiness every day. They make me laugh cry and love my life. Zoe is 4 going on teenager ready to move out. She wants to wear makeup and go to college and is almost always sporting a princess dress for playtime. Miles is 3 going on driving me up the wall. He pays attention like a cat walks on water but amuses me when he’s in his comedian joke telling mode. They both complete every day for me. Our house had a flood about three weeks ago and the kids have been sleeping on our bed in our room. Each night my husband or I get to sleep in the bed with them, and you may think I’m crazy but I enjoy it a great deal. I get quite a sense of peace and joy sleeping in the same bed as my children. Hearing them breathe is the most peaceful sound in the world to me. That’s my everyday joy!
Johnson’s kicked off the treasuring everyday joy campaign earlier this year. They went around the country and found 50 joyous families and featured them on WE TV and published a book dedicated to Treasuring Everyday Joy. This book is complete with photos and profiles of all 50 families. Leading comedy actress and mother of 3, Alyson Hannigan (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), kicked off the campaign in honor of treasuring the small joys in one’s life.
“It is so important to treasure everyday moments with your children,” said celebrity mom Alyson Hannigan. “Whether it’s the giggles during bath time or reading with them before bedtime; it’s those simple things that are part of your daily routine which you come to value most as a mom. I never take those moments for granted as they change so much from day-to-day, that each one is a new adventure.”
She has generously signed a few of the TREASURING EVERYDAY JOY™ books and we have one to giveaway along with a basket of Johnson’s products.
This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Gianna.
My everyday joy is seeing my son as soon as he wakes up and seeing the smile on his face and him jumping up and down in his crib..that is so awesome

Everyday joy with my children is seeing them grow and learn together. I love seeing my 5yr old teach and help her little brother and sister. Every morning they have to say hi to each other and every night they won’t go to bed without giving each other a kiss.

Enjoying the laughter between my daughters is my greatest treasure.
Hearing them laugh. I just love it.
Thanks for the chance.

Making my daughter laugh is my everyday joy. We tickle her or let her “surprise” us, and she bursts into belly laughs that melt our hearts. You know that moment is filled with pure joy for her, and she is completely immersed in our games.

Everyday joy is …
watching my little girls giggle as they make each other laugh…
it’s tiny hugs where each will wrap their little arms around my neck and squeeze while saying “I love you soooo much!”…
watching my husband play on the floor and roll around with his two little girls…
watching the world pass through the eyes of my oldest who is almost 3–and seeing how she passes on her ‘wisdom’ to her little 9 month old sister…
taking time for myself and enjoying the silence while reading a book that is purely for enjoyment…mommy time is key!
Everyday joy is just that–joy. It’s knowing that you can have nothing but have everything all at once. Money, stress, work, bills–all that is surface level importance. The real importance is knowing the joy behind family, no matter it’s design, and relishing in the safety that regardless of anything or anyone–you have each other. Everyday joy is smiles, laughter, relief, love, safety, and simplicity.
I love reading picture books with my nieces and nephews.
my everyday joy with my son is when I pick him up after I get off of work and he runs up to me and squeezes my legs because he misses me so much.
my everyday joy with my daughter is when she first wakes up in the morning and smiles at me after a long night of not seeing me.
I love snuggling with my little guy while he is nursing in the mornings when the rest of the house is asleep. I treasure our one on one time and those little smiles melt my heart 🙂

I enjoy playing with them right before breakfast. They are always in a good mood then and love cuddling and spending some time in Mom’s lap. I love to hear what they want us to do that day, it is priceless.
