About Proud Happy Mama.
Hi, I’m Allison Banfield — mom of two, Master of Public Health graduate, and the writer behind Proud Happy Mama. Since 2014, I’ve been creating family-focused resources that have reached millions of readers and viewers worldwide. Here you’ll find a mix of heartfelt quotes and simple family activities, everything from holiday traditions to everyday games that are all designed to help you celebrate love, connection, and the moments that matter most.
My Journey
My love for words began when I was young. I was always captivated by how a simple phrase could carry so much meaning and emotion. I spent hours filling journals, creating homemade cards for family, and collecting my favorite quotes from books and movies.
That early passion only grew stronger as I got older. After earning my Bachelor’s in Health Promotion and Master’s in Public Health, I began combining my professional background in family well-being with my personal love of writing. When I became a mom of two, the power of words took on an even deeper meaning — writing birthday messages for my children, crafting notes for my parents, and sharing quotes with friends became my way of strengthening connections and celebrating the people who matter most.
Over time, I realized how meaningful it is to have a place where families can find words and activities that truly resonate. That’s why I created Proud Happy Mama: a space that now reaches millions of readers and viewers worldwide, sharing carefully curated quotes and family-friendly activities that honor the love, joy, and everyday moments that bring us closer together.
