About Helping of Happiness

Hi! I’m Hillary Hess, owner and creator of Helping of Happiness. Here at Helping of Happiness we bring your family closer together by providing delicious family recipes, fun travel tips, home & family hacks, as well as a podcast where our friends come on and teach us, and encourage us to be our best selves.

We have in person cooking classes in the summertime, a cookbook (grab yours in our shop here!!) as well as online courses about lots of different topics.

About Our Family

I never thought we would have seven children!!

It all began when I met my husband at Brigham Young University. Our first child (a daughter), was born the week before we graduated. It was crazy!! We carried her across the stage as we got our diplomas.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics with an emphasis in Home and Family. I love using that degree in my family and business life.

The day after graduation we took our new baby and few belongings and moved to the Central Valley in California, USA. We enjoyed the beauty, produce and wonderful friends we made there for seven years.

A job promotion for my husband brought us out to North Texas, USA. We have loved it here for sixteen years.

Our kids now range in age from 7 years old to 23 years old (& we have added an awesome son in law!!). We have a busy and full life that I am constantly trying to find balance in. I love gathering with family and friends, and know if you hang with us here, we can help enrich your lives and fill your homes with a helping of happiness.
