Definition
So, what does Family Felicity mean?
Felicity (phonetically pronounced fuh·li·suh·tee) means “great joy.” According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, felicity is defined as “the quality or state of being happy.”
But there’s more to it. Felicity also refers to eloquence—the ability to find the perfect words to express one’s thoughts.
At Family Felicity, we embrace both meanings. Our mission is to use words and other forms of expression to inspire knowledge, encouragement, contentment, and bliss. While much of our content is created with moms in mind, our ultimate goal is to uplift and strengthen the entire family unit.
We believe “family” is more than just a traditional definition. It’s a bond that includes all those connected by love, care, or kinship (whether through blood, marriage, adoption, fostering, or chosen family). Our resources are designed to support everyone in the family, from parents, children, and caregivers to extended family members like grandparents, aunts, uncles, and godparents.
No matter your family structure, Family Felicity is here to help you create a home filled with joy, connection, and growth.
History
Family Felicity began its journey on January 15, 2014, when the domain was officially established on the World Wide Web. Founded by Brandi Michel, Family Felicity started as a blog, that was born out of a heartfelt mission: to serve as a ministry and resource for mothers navigating the beautiful yet challenging journey of motherhood.
In 2017, familyfelicity.com officially launched as a blog under Brandi’s leadership, operating for eight impactful years. During this time, Brandi poured her wisdom, passion, and encouragement into her writing, inspiring mothers to prioritize their well-being and embrace intentionality in their lives. Many moms have gained knowledge, guidance, and empowerment through her words.
In 2023, DayJah picked up the mantle and now fully owns and operates Family Felicity (FF). DayJah discovered the blog during her own journey of self-growth and healing. She found that Family Felicity perfectly aligned with her values, creative vision, purpose, and her life’s work.
With a background rich in entrepreneurial ventures, and a lifelong passion for uplifting others through writing, she has fully embraced the role of owner and operator with enthusiasm and determination. She took hold of the blog and found a creative way to combine her love for family and the creative arts.
Since taking the helm, DayJah has reimagined Family Felicity and turned the blog into an incorporated organization. She continually breathes new life into its mission and is working tirelessly to transform it into a dynamic network of support for mothers and their families. She has introduced fresh ideas, innovative programming, and a renewed vision that has propelled the platform to new heights.
DayJah’s unwavering passion and drive embody the essence of what it means to be a “Felicity Woman.” She is committed to nurturing the core mission of Family Felicity: to provide mothers and their families with the reinforcement, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive. Every day, she works endlessly to ensure that Family Felicity remains a beacon of support, empowerment, and inspiration for families everywhere.

Why We Exist
A note from DayJah…
It’s no secret that depression has plagued mothers for many years. We often hear about postpartum “baby blues”. However, finding happiness is not only something that mothers must strive to do right after giving birth. Often, there is a daily fight to find joy in the journey of parenting.
According to the CDC, about 1 in 8 women experience symptoms of depression after giving birth. And beyond that, nearly one in ten women in the United States face a major depressive episode each year. Women are also 50% more likely than men to experience depression, yet the long-term mental health and emotional well-being of mothers often go overlooked.
The truth is, being a mother can make self-care and personal growth feel like impossible luxuries. While motherhood is filled with many sweet moments of bliss, there are real life issues we face that can make it hard to find and keep long term joy.
As women, we can sometimes feel guilty, embarrassed, or weak for saying that we’re sad, frustrated, stressed, depressed, unsure, or overstimulated. Nonetheless, i want you to know that it’s okay to feel however you feel! And, it’s also okay to voice that feeling and work to resolve it.
Historically, mothers often serve as the primary caretaker, managing schedules, homework, relationship duties, and providing emotional support for both her spouse and her children. Our kids, families, careers, and daily responsibilities often take center stage, leaving little room for our own needs, feelings, or healing.
Considering this reality, I wanted to create a centralized community where mothers (and their families) can come to learn, find inspiration, and feel replenished. After all, when each person in a family takes intentional steps toward becoming their best self, it fosters a healthy, thriving household.
At Family Felicity, we believe in growth, both as individuals and as a family unit. We work to help all parents and their children achieve lasting joy. By nurturing joy within ourselves, we strengthen the bonds that hold our families together, creating a more harmonious and loving home where everyone can truly thrive.
Through meaningful content, practical advice, dynamic events, and a supportive community, Family Felicity is here to remind you that you matter. Your well-being matters. And when you take care of yourself, you’re better equipped to care for your loved ones.
So, let’s embrace the journey toward household harmony together, and create more felicity for ourselves and for our families!
“When I am filled with cares, Your comfort brings me joy”. -Psalm 94:19-
