So glad you could stop by! For those wondering what this site is all about, I’d like to introduce myself! My name is Jennifer Allen. I am first and foremost a busy mother of 6. But, as do many of us, I fill my spare hours with much more… I am a graphic designer, a symphonic violist and an active health and wellness advocate. Both my husband and I are entrepreneurs and manage our own businesses amidst the chaotic lives of our busy brood! This site is somewhat of a celebration of natural health, craziness, craftiness, resourcefulness, comedy, a little insanity and hopefully, occasional insights into living a healthier life! MyCrazy8 was born from my daily efforts to wrestle with my crazy and amazing family of 8 (yes, I include my husband and I in that!), with kids (excluding my husband and I!) ranging in ages from 15 down to newborn. There is so much I’ve learned and so much I’m continuing to learn that I wanted to share some of these insights, hopefully spare you from some hard lessons learned and maybe even give you some laughs along the way! I hope you enjoy these posts and possibly gain a few ideas you can incorporate into your own lives! As an incredibly insightful man once said, “In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” (-President Gordon B. Hinckley)
