Excuse the random code, I’m once again trying to prove to Technorati that I own My Happy Crazy Life. Hopefully this time it’ll believe me… NMRE49KRMM9K Maybe if I put the code in a lot of times it’ll help… NMRE49KRMM9K NMRE49KRMM9K NMRE49KRMM9K NMRE49KRMM9K NMRE49KRMM9K NMRE49KRMM9K If this doesn’t do it…
Z-Man and Little Guy love celery, thanks to the Wonder Pets, who munch celery at the end of every episode. Z-Man and Little Guy also love Ants on a Log, thanks to the Noggin segment that taught them how to make it themselves. But what do you do when your…
When Teacher and I were married I ordered a unity candle from the local wedding shop. I don’t know why we didn’t make it ourselves; maybe we were too busy to think of it, or because back then handcrafted just “wasn’t done.” Times have changed, and not only is a…
I am mortified. Embarrassed. Ashamed. And other words I can’t think of now. I just discovered that I’ve been irresponsible. Careless. Negligent.

If you’re going to throw a party you have to invite people. Formal parties – like weddings – require honest-to-goodness paper invitations, not last-minute phone calls which are my usual MOA. When Teacher and I were married you had to get printed invitations; making your own just wasn’t done. I…
The best thing about weddings is the cake. Don’t get me wrong – getting dressed up is nice. Watching someone I love get married to someone they love is nice. Having a good meal and the chance to dance with Teacher is very nice. But the best thing about weddings…
We need new legislation, and we need it now! All wedding books, magazines, brochures, websites, and other materials need to come with warning labels: “CAUTION! May cause normally rational brides-to-be into Bridezilla” It all started when Princess was browsing through Peggy Post’s Wedding Ettiquette book. “According to this book, my…
