Hi, I’m Melissa! The heart behind the happy
✨ Made to Make You Smile
I’m a local mom and small-business owner in New York’s Capital District. I’m also a homeschool mom and Zumba instructor who believes life is better with kindness, creativity, movement and joy.
I’m a wife to my husband, Todd, the proud mom of two sons and blessed with a wonderful circle of family and friends. I started Happy Shirts & More by Melissa to create fun, meaningful and personalized products that help people celebrate the moments, people and groups they love. Whether I’m creating for a Zumba instructor or student, family, school, team, fundraiser or special celebration, every order is made with care and a whole lot of happy.
Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to do what I love. 🌻If you can dream it, I can create it!🌻
