The other day I was editing a bunch of photos as Teacher walked past. He stopped and did a double-take, “Why is that pizza GREEN?!” he asked. I laughed, “Because it was leftover seaweed cheese from earlier that week.” We’d been doing an undersea theme in the daycare and that…
Many years ago my cousin Leann, who is about four months younger than I am, and I were spending the day at my grandparents’ house. We were at that awkward “tween” age; no longer children, not quite adults, and beginning to be plagued by hormones. We’d spent the afternoon on…
Lookie, lookie – I got a package in the mail! It’s kinda heavy. Who’s it from? Oooh – It’s the Treasure Box I won from the Fluff Factory charity auction. What’s Fluff Factory? Fluff Factory is a community where WAHMs (Work at Home Moms) come together to discuss business, family,…
It’s Angel Face’s birthday today! In honor of her birthday I thought I’d post some photos from the past year, each with accompanying clever commentary. It was a nice thought, and it’s the thought that count, right? The problem is that when my old laptop crashed, taking the hard drive…

A box arrived at our house the other day. A very big box, and it’s for me! Teacher said I was getting a belated Valentine’s Day present. Will you help me open it? What do you think it could be? I’ll take off the styrofoam, you grab out that…
My Happy Crazy Life has received the Sunshine Award from both Gillyweeds and Joyful Rose. Thank you both for thinking of me! Since I follow the rules – most of the time – I’m passing the award along to some of my favorite blogs; please take a few minutes to…
