About

Welcome to Deanna’s Corner!

I am a thirty-something SAHM (stay at home mom) who has a degree in journalism and nowhere to use it… so I started this blog in March 2005. I write for my own sanity and to share my stories and opinions.

The cast of characters includes:

Me (Deanna) – mom, wife, rubber stamper, cross-stitcher, writer, chief cook and bottle washer here at the Corner Haus.

The Webmaster (my husband) – dad, groundskeeper, tech support and all-around good guy. We’ve been married since 2000.

Ane (my daughter, known in early posts as The Munchkin) – all sweetness and spunk since 2003. Loves princesses, dress-up, play dates and baseball.

Tad (my son, known in early posts as Baby Boy) – all boy since 2005. Tad has autism and is attending a high-intervention special education program within our school district, and both speech and ABA (applied behavioral analysis) therapy.  Loves sharks, Batman, Star Wars, Pixar movies, and LEGO.

Rerun (my son) – the delight of my heart since 2010.  Loves dinosaurs, Lightning McQueen, and getting into his siblings’ toys.

Grandma and Gichan (my parents)

Nana and Papa (the Webmaster’s parents)

Auntie (my youngest sister) – College freshman, built-in baby-sitter and softball player.

The Major and Q-Bee (my brother, formerly known as the Captain, and sister-in-law) – Major in the army and his wife, the quilting enthusiast.

Belle, Berry, Beth, and Bette – The Major and Q-Bee’s daughters, also known as the B Squad.

Ressis and Oddball (my sister and brother-in-law) – SAHM and her husband, a captain in the army and Star Wars nerd.

Little Cousin and Little Cowgirl (formerly known as Baby Cousin) – Ressis and Oddball’s daughters.

Friend and Doc – close friends of the Webmaster and myself. Doc is a professor at a local college and Friend teaches piano and likes good cheese.

The Brain, Head, Rupert and Ringo – Friend and Doc’s four boys. Close friends of Ane, Tad, and Rerun.

… and many, many more people….

I post very regularly because out-of-state family like to be updated on what’s going on here at the Corner Haus and because I enjoy writing. Please leave a comment if you enjoy it, too!
