This the story of how I became “The Happy Housewife.” You might want to start at the beginning. I was excited and nervous about sending the kids off to school. I knew our oldest daughter would be fine, she had attended kindergarten and part of first grade, but I was concerned about sending our son off to school. Even the small town environment, friendly teachers, and good recommendations ...
Children are a Blessing Even When You’re Sleep Deprived
The following is a guest post from Heather. I don't often admit to friends and family what I'm about to confess to strangers now. It's best to rip a bandage off fast, right? Well, here goes.

Four years ago this week I said to my husband... Do you think I should start a blog? After about fifty attempts we finally found a name that wasn't already in use, The Happy Housewife, and I started writing. I never imagined how big (and how much work) this website would become.
