What’s the meaning behind the name?

Hi, I’m Melissa—a teacher, a busy mom of three redheaded kids (ages 6, 8, and 11), and a firm believer that the right finds can bring more joy, ease, and meaning to everyday life.

Life in our home is a mix of school schedules, lacrosse games, music lessons, and the beautiful chaos that comes with raising three energetic kids. My husband and I also made the life-changing decision to embrace sobriety in October 2024, a journey that has deepened our appreciation for simple, intentional living.

Happy Cart Collective is where I curate and create content that helps busy families find the best products to make life easier. From must-have home essentials to parenting game-changers, I test, review, and showcase quality finds so you can shop smarter. Whether you’re here for honest product recommendations or just looking for things that truly add value to your day, you’re in the right place.

Let’s fill our carts (and our lives) with things that truly matter. I’m so glad you’re here!

I create high-quality product videos and engaging content to help brands showcase their products. Let’s collaborate!
