[Editor’s Note: This is the beginning of a new weekly series where we’ll round up our favorite “Good News” stories that went viral. Enjoy!]

It’s Friday, mama! We made it! There has been a ton of heavy news to digest this week, but there have also been some amazingly good news stories to come out of the last seven days.

If you need a little positivity to carry you into the weekend, check out the headlines that made us smile this week.


This mama got her rainbow baby after 13 pregnancy losses 🌈

British mama Laura Worsley is living her dream with her baby daughter Ivy after losing a heartbreaking 13 pregnancies, People reports. She had her first miscarriage in 2008, and sadly, many more followed. “Eleven of Laura Worsley’s pregnancies ended in the first trimester but she also lost two boys at 17 and 20 weeks,” BBC News reports.

Eventually, Laura learned she was suffering from Antiphospholipid syndrome, a condition that was making it impossible for her to carry a baby. She also had Chronic Histiocytic Intervillositis happening in her placenta, which makes was causing her placenta to die in places, according to Worsley.

Finally, doctors got her on a medication to improve the lining of her uterus, and Worsley and her husband conceived baby Ivy. “I thought if there’s that one bit of hope, I had to try again,” Laura told BBC News. “I spoke to Dave about it and he felt the same. I told myself, ‘this is the last time I’m doing this.'”

On their 14th attempt (with the help of steroids and medications to suppress Worsley’s immune system and allow the pregnancy to progress) Ivy came into the world.

“Even now, nine months on, I can’t believe she’s actually mine,” Worsley told BBC News.

That adorable dad + baby from the viral video booked a Denny’s commercial

Remember that dad and the adorable babbling baby in the viral video we featured on our Facebook page earlier this month? Well, now they’ve book a Denny’s commercial! (Talk about a quick turn around!)

That original viral video surpassed 2 million views within 48 hours of being posted, so it’s no wonder the marketing team at Denny’s thought, We’ve gotta get this guy!

The cuteness is too much and the new commercial shows the dad, comedian DJ Pryor, and his 19-month-old (ADORABLE) son Kingston having a chat in a booth at Denny’s over breakfast food.

We love it and we love that it is part of a wider trend of companies showing dads in caring roles in advertising.

One woman’s color-coded grandkids are going viral

This is too cute! Mom Chrissy Roussel posted this photo of her kids and their cousins a couple of years ago (there’s been a couple of additions since!) to show all the grandkids her parents have.

“The photo was my sister’s idea,” Chrissy, who has three brothers and two sisters, told POPSUGAR . “Having a big family means lots of noise, laughter, and, most importantly, love. Between the 17 cousins, there’s always someone to play with and have fun with. They have a ball together. I loved having a big family growing up, and I’m so happy that my kids have the same experience.”

In a recent Facebook update this week, Rossel reacted to the continued vitality of her colorful photo.

“I have to say we had NO IDEA this picture would be shared so much and resonate with so many people. We just thought it would be a fun pic to take of all the cousins while we were at the beach. My sister Maryellen suggested the shirts, and my amazingly talented SIL Katie ( Annabelle Rose Photography ) took the pics,” Roussel wrote in on her Facebook page.

Parents are loving these potentially life-saving seat-belt straps!

Australian mom Natalie Bell is going super viral for her seat belt steps for special needs kids. She runs Personalised By Nat , a company where she creates personalized stuff and came up with the idea to make seat belt straps that can inform first responders of a child’s issues in the event of an accident.

“I always wonder what would happen if I was in a car accident with my daughter in the car and I was unable to let the doctors know that my daughter could not have a MRI due to having a cochlear implant, now I don’t need to worry about that with these seat belt covers,” she wrote.

“These can be made for any special needs that the medical team will need to know if you are unable to tell them.”

As Yahoo News reports, overnight the post went viral and parents were talking about what a great idea it is.

“My husband is part of Fire and Rescue and said that this is a brilliant idea,” one comment wrote.

“Such a valuable piece that provides a lot of information clearly so that [responders] involved can approach situations with knowledge and care,” said another.

The Rock can’t build a doll house 😂

We love The Rock’s dad moments. He consistently cracks us up, and this week he had an epic dad problem. His little daughter, Jazzy, (seriously, look at this kiddo, she’s too cute) got a dollhouse which is “assembly required” and The Rock does not have the toy assembling skills to meet that requirement.

“My ‘On my way out the door to get my morning workout in before work and my 3yr old Jazzy says Daddy can you put together this Barbie house please’ look,” The Rock captioned the above photo.

We totally get you, Dwayne. All those little plastic parts can be a challenge, even for someone who swings from skyscrapers. 😂

Apparently, Jazzy’s mom, Lauren Hashian, is the chief dollhouse builder in that household.

Young boys are wearing Women’s National Team jerseys, proving that hero athletes can be any gender 💪

Okay, so the Women’s National Soccer team is killin’ it, but as the Washington Post reports, the women’s team is still not paid equal to the mens’ team (even though they are winning more and attracting more fans).

But, as Chicago Tribune columnist Heidi Stevens writes, young male soccer fans clearly understand how awesome the women’s team is because boys are starting to rock women’s team jerseys in schools!

While young girls often walk around in jerseys with male athletes names on the back, it’s new to see boys wearing the names of women athletes on such a large scale.

This is a big deal for girls and boys, and it’s awesome.
