Happened Upon Happy

Hiiiiiiiiiii and welcome to Happened Upon Happy! What once started off as a Lifestyle Blog- sharing information and experiences- now has become a documentation of life and navigating the highs and lows of it all- while making it a point to try and choose happiness each step of the way. Sometimes, it's easier said than done.

I'm Traci- a wife and a homemaking, homeschooling, stay at home mom of 3 boys! As a result of that, life can certainly get a little crazy. It's my passion to share all of it with you here!

Subscribe and stay awhile. Let's continue to Happen Upon Happy together! Life can be a lot but making the decision to choose happiness makes everything else a little lighter and a little brighter.

You'll see family vlogs, homeschool content, homemaker content, loc content, all things motherhood, and the occasional how-to! I'm sure there will be other things, too, but how does one sum up the totality of who they are in 1,000 characters or less?

    Sorry for your losses mama, baby dust to you along with love and well wishes on your journey 💕✨ to answer your question, I can’t say that I necessarily did anything different that go around. However, in the past I did alter my diet in order to be able to conceive as I was diagnosed as infertile prior to that.

    I saw a video where she did the retwist and curls at the same time. 1. When you did the longer pipe cleaner, use 2 twisted together to make it sturdier. 2. She did the ends like yours but she did each individual lock and at the top before locking it she twisted the roots again for the crisp look you want. Plus when you do the locs individually they fit on the shorter pipe cleaner! I might be late but hope this helps!

I have a Boba but don’t use it because I’ve been too lazy to figure out how to use it honestly 🫠 it’s my fault lol sounds like it’s time for me to figure it out though! I’ll check out some videos on that, thanks! How many boys do you have?

    Hi There, so for those of us viewers yhat don't have the same brand of bread maker, what suze loaf does your recipe make and if we are to choose a program on our bread maker, would it be a "white" bread? There are many options/programs but you just reference the number on your machine which is not helpful for all bread machines. Thx.

    I have tried this recipe twice. The second time I was very careful to follow all of your instructions. Can you think of any reason why my loafs are only rising half way? I used fresh rapid rising yeast. What could be causing this?

  • @HappenedUponHappy
    @HappenedUponHappy4 ай бұрын

    I’m not 100% sure why. However, humidity- among other environmental factors- actually play a pretty big role into the bread making process. I learned that doing a quick google search when I was experiencing similar problems during my trial and error phase. Also ensure that your rapid rising yeast is for bread machine. I think if you do a search you should be able to narrow down your exact issue. Thanks for watching and good luck!!
