“Happy Stories:

Yours, Ours, and Everyone’s”

“Because joy is better when it’s shared."

(and truly, the world needs more of it)

Right now, you’ll see a handful of stories from us — the Minnesota Happy crew — about the little (and not-so-little) things sparking joy in our lives. These could be a goofy lake-day mishap, a sunset that stopped us in our tracks, or the time Paul realized coffee tastes even better out of a Minnesota Happy mug.


Like any good Minnesota snowball rolling downhill, this page is going to grow — picking up more smiles, more laughs, and more “oh, I’ve felt that too” moments as the happy snowball grows.


So scroll through, have a laugh, maybe get a little inspired — and when you’re ready, send us your story. Because happy isn’t just something you keep to yourself. It’s contagious. And this is one kind of happy we all want to spread.

Eventually, this won’t just be our happy stories — it’ll be yours too. We’re building a place where you can share the moments, memories, and mishaps that make you grin, and we’ll feature them here for the world to see. Text, photos, videos — if it makes you happy, it belongs here. Think of it as a virtual campfire where everyone’s welcome to pull up a chair and tell a story.
